The lovable yellow family is up to their old shenanigans again, in their first full length movie. The whole movie is about how The Simpsons try to save their town form utter destruction. But there are a few good twist and turns. Great satirical work by the writers and the movie is just plain funny.
The movie starts out with the family watching an Itchy and Scratchy movie, which involves Scratchy get left on the moon while Itchy returns as a hero. Itchy becomes president and has to face a JFK-like Crisis with Scratchy returns from the dead. Icthy firs a bunch of nukes at the moon and blows up Scratchy, and while that sequence is going on Homer yells out "Boring" and gets yelled at and then turns towards us, the real audience, and says were suckers for paying movie to watch something we get for free on the TV. The first of many good lines and satire. I laughed though the beginning part of the movie, because it was hilarious.
As I said before the movie plot is how The Simpsons, Homer and his new love a pig, destroy Springfield's environment, and EPA has to come in and clean up his mess. They do that by putting a dome over the town. The residents soon find out that Homer is the culprit and try to kill him and the family, but they escape though a sinkhole. Homer knows that he has screwed up and knows of a way to get them out of it, by going to Alaska, where they can create a new life. His plan goes array when Marge and the kids find out that Springfield will be blow up to create a new Grand Canyon. Homer soon find himself alone while his family tries to go save their real home. Homer, heart-broken, doesn't know what to do and go off to kill himself, but an old inuit women saves him and shows him the light. Homer, with a new found purpose, goes to save Springfield.
The movie is full of laughs and satire of American politics and current events. the movie is just plain funny, I'd give it an 8 out 10.
Top Ten Memorable Moments:
Alfred Hitchcock creates another masterpiece of horror with his 1960 movie Psycho. Which has become a classic in American Cinema and a cult classic for those who are mentally disturbed, like myself. The twist and turns do manipulate the mind into believing one thing, then WHAM! something else comes up and one changes the perspective of the movie. The neat thing is is that the movie is based off a book which in turn is based on true events that happened in Plainview, Wisconsin. The book is based on the murderous escapades of Ed Gein, a very disturbed man, who killed most of his women neighbors,skinned them, and wore their skins. Truly a disturbed man. But Alfred doesn't really dabble into the blood and gore of the events of the book, he manipulates it to hide the true killer in a very sophisticated way. A quote that he used was "Evil should look and act mundane" and that is beautifully portaried in the character of Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) , a lonely motel manager with a sick mother.
