The Raspberry Reich. Fucking hell, that was horrible. Okay, I saw it because it had an explicit guy-girl scene, so I figure the T&A to be great. I got the complete opposite. The straight sex was fine, but it got annoying when the gimmicks this movie had, started to sour the film right from the beginning. The movie started with a guy getting hot with his guns, and seizure inducing red and black messages appear, and throughout the movie, text appears that spouts out some bullshit anti-fascist rhetoric. The cast of characters are self-titled, "Sixth Generation," a bunch of "terrorists" who are counter-revolutionaries or some crap.
The woman vomits out this rhetoric, and the guys don't seem to even agree with her. Without getting political, though it's just all bullshit to put it simply, the biggest crap she spewed out regarded homosexuality. That it needs to be embraced. Okie dokie, but then she said you HAVE to be homosexual, but also heterosexual. You can't be one or another, because your sexual energy is only halved, and just heterosexuality is "opiate for the masses." I don't even know if homosexual people would even like the message, it force feeds this shit, through the dialogue by this woman who didn't even prove her own sexual versatility, no lesbian sex I mean. And not just the dialogue, but explicit gay sex. Only one of the group members and their hostage, were clearly gay, for each other. The others did it to be counter-revolutionary. There's a message even saying homosexuality is counter-revolutionary. It's so stupid, the visual presentation of this rhetoric is stupid, the gay sex is alright if you like watching it, but I didn't expect that. I'd rather not research the film before watching, I could spoil myself after all.
Shit, I saw Beyond the Valley of the Dolls earlier today, and even that had a much better message on homosexuality than this movie. Particularly lesbianism, without force feeding some rhetoric, and instead just showing it in cinematic beauty. Though tragic with the couple in question, it's still better than this. What makes this rhetoric worst is the woman calling the two guys that escaped (the group member and hostage)...faggots. Fucking hell, she called them faggots, but claims homosexuality is a powerful weapon, but you can't JUST be homosexual?!
And the pro-terrorist angle this movie takes, justifying it as being for a good purpose, to crush fascism, fuck over the "West" (I thought it was dated and meant West Germany, but it showed it was set in present day, so the fascist West apparently is America), let's have darts on a GW Bush picture, sucks. It's not justified well at all. When the main story ends, two members of the now disbanded group, were in a terrorist gay bar. What the fuck? One of the members ended up joining a middle eastern terrorist group...and the one who shagged the woman in the beginning of the woman, claims to not speak German when a gay terrorist comes up to him.
This is a German movie, everyone speaks English, therefore it's broken dialogue, and the motherfucker doesn't know German? Hell, if this movie was in German, it would be better, the rhetoric is so hard to grasp when spoken in English by a native German speaking woman, who doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.
Horrible film, and I'm experiencing a whole spectrum of quality when it comes to foreign drama with explicit sex (i.e. artporn). Some are too dark, some are silly and sappy, some are just right, and some, like this, is just horrible. So far Blue is the Warmest Color and Sex & Lucia stand tall as the best movies I've seen in said drama. The Raspberry Reich is the absolute worst. I'd rather be bored than annoyed. This movie annoyed me.
