I actually did not like the movie Underground at all. It definitely was not my style at all and the spuratic nature of the film bothered me. I understand what the underlying meaning of the film was and that the film was supposed to be a satire, and I respect it for that, but it was not my cup of tea. I feel like people almost have to read a background on the countries and the situations portrayed before actually watching the movie.
I only recall laughing once and the only reason was because it reminded me of an American comedy. When Jovan was running around holding the grenade and screaming, it was almost exactly like Steve Carrell’s character on the movie Anchorman.
As I mentioned in the discussion from class, the ending bothered me. Blacky kept asking people if they had seen his son fifty years after he had last seen him. I highly doubt he would have been looking for him all that time after losing him in a lake. Plus, Blacky was asking people who did not even know who he was if they had seen his son.
I also thought Ivan’s reunion with his monkey Soni was a little farfetched, even for this movie. After fifty years he goes to the Underground and finds his monkey that ran away? I do not think so.
Overall it was one of the longest and most annoying three hours of my life. I do not recommend this movie to anyone else.

OK. I hear you, but why would you say this film has garnered some many accolades? By the way, what do you mean by spuratic? I didn't understand that. I think you meant sporadic, but in what sense then the film is sporadic?
