Negative Positive
Title: Dumb, Dumb, Dumb and Dumber
Review: The movie starts off good, ok, not bad. Starts getting a little bizarre, POW's studying - Plato? A group of POW's start a school behind their captors backs, while another group instead uses their time to find ways to escape. Here is were it gets really, really sappy. The group of prisoners who want to try and escape are portrayed as the "Bad Guys" - morons. The other group, the passive group, instead wants to read books and pretend they are going to college. They are portrayed as the "Smart" intellectuals, and attempt to use appeasement and not revolt or try to escape from the Enemy (Japanese). The end is pathetic, using visual references to Jesus on the cross and also attempt to show how by being passive appeasers it is possible to win wars.. WRONG!!
Is the review positive or negative?
