It could be you!...
30 June 2002
When I went to see the movie. I thought:"Oh, well, I wouldn't be caught losing my temper there. I'd just be there to get the money and I wouldn't care about anything more". What the movie did in a brilliant way was to show you that it COULD be you. As time passed, I was looking at my watch. And that was because I had become one of the prisoners. The end of the movie would mean the end of their torture-the end of the experiment. Near the end, I caught myself thinking "Kill him!Kill him!"And I'm a calm person, you know. It's very surprising and also frightening to realise that all people are the same. When they feel threatened, they tend to make groups to protect themselves, like animals. And they can get very violent, too...

Don't get that excited...
8 June 2001
OK, I'll tell you the truth: I am a great fan of Radiohead. I find that their songs speak straight to my whole self. And I love the fact that one can always find new elements in them. So, I really wanted to see the documentary. Let's begin...I understand the pressure on their shoulders. But, in this one, they're making such a big issue out of it! Guys, worse things can happen to you than being famous and widely accepted. Stop whining all the time! I also love the artwork in their albums. But they tried to copy it here. Not pleasant! It gets terribly tiring watching everything move, not being able to see colors at times and magazine articles getting into the way the whole time. Apart from all that, it gets boring really soon. It repeats itself. Concerts, articles, comments..."What did you expect?", you'll say. Maybe something different being said in that much time. Of course, you have the opportunity of listening to their songs, watching some parts of their videos, hearing them say interesting things. I won't deny that. I don't want to! Maybe I sounded really bad in this review. I didn't hate it that much. I enjoyed it, for the reasons I told you before. But, if Radiohead are what they are today, it's because they dared say what's into them, and they did not repeat themselves, using cliches. Not really what we have here...Sorry.
