I realize there is a disclaimer in the opening scene but I have to ask "What was the point of making this movie?"
Obviously, it's not a historical biographical study which seeks to make some moralistic point. So why use the "Kelly" substructure in the first place.
My only thought was taken from the final scene where the school teacher criticizes the idea of making a "Hero" of sorts out of the likes of Kelly. Was the whole two hours just a swipe at romanticized history?
Grotesque and bluntly sexually deviant, the characters are presented in terms of the most base moral behavior and mindsets.
Others have reviewed this film as deep and insightful while blasting those poor simpletons who cannot understand nor contemplate real artistic vision.
Maybe this is true.. but I hope I never get the state of mind where a movie like this will appeal to me in a positive, thought provoking manner.
