I could write a ten page essay on why these two bozos are complete clueless morons and everything they say is completely ass backwards, and why Morgan is a beautiful, well made film, full of depth and dimension these two clowns will never fathom, but I really don't feel like arguing with Wal Mart dwelling trash right now.
You would probably get a pretty low grade on that paper seeing as you completely missed the satire part of this.
You need to read comments before posting. If you had, you might of realized the humour behind this. It's taking what Morgan was and adapting it: bad sound, poor lighting, crap shots... all of it. Then, we make fun of the sorts of people that make fun of those sorts of things.
Funnily enough I think they are spot on with their comments...They just don't understand the genre..Kitchen sink dramas, realism, these type of movies in the 60's were an attempt to get away from studio based slick, evenly produced films..Hand-held camera was part of that as was sound quality that allowed background noise to wash over dialogue..I guess these guys just don't know their cinematic history.
Duh! how funny! Idiots without a clue acting like they have a clue about video. Man that really cracks me up . These guys are proof that the American Empire is about to fall a result a of total lack of socially redeemable qualities. Morgan was groundbreaking and continues to be a film of high quality. So dont believe a word of these cheezy posers.
I'm glad,at least,that you gave Morgan some recognition...any chance of a few clips?
Perhaps the closing scene where he finds out,in the mental home,she's pregnant with his child.Then the camera angle climb to show the Hammer and Sycle morgan's made in the flower bed!
He was one man,one individual, who beat the system...who wouldn't let the system beat him and best of all they didn't even know they had lost!
The ripples of change started in the 60's are echoed in this work of art...
We were borrowing that LD along with a couple of others and had to return them right after we filmed the "review," so there wasn't any time to get clips.
Plus, without a video capture card the quality would have been less than desirable.
ok.Thanks anyway.One last question...of all the millions of films you could have reviewed why Morgam?Did it just come in a 'job lot' of films or had someone mentioned it?
You think Mr Bean and the Carry On films are good?!?!?....says more about what your opinion is worth than that absolutely brilliant ground breaking film.
Americans don't do Irony...(at least,not these 2)
Oh...you forgot to mention Benny Hill by the way...jeeeees
Okay, I realize that I was not in this particular review (on sabbatical at the time), and that I would have given in a positive review in all likeliness, but if you're attacking Barnes & Perez for trashing this movie, you're missing the point.
Laserdicks Reviews is a series developed by Barnes and myself to send up film reviews, both professional and amateur (especially those on Youtube). Our comments are exaggerated to affectionately mock the hyperbole seen in "criticism" today.
Also, we keep repeating ourselves in incredibly dull, moronic, self satisfied, pseudo-appraisal because that's all Morgan really is. It's not a poignant, funny/sad movie for intelligent, educated adults.
It's trite at best.
I'll concede that it's dark comedy or even that it was good for the time, but you're going to have to admit that it's clearly dated and that it doesn't hold up in its age.
This movie is a deconstruction of screwball comedy, given that the hero winds up committed to an insane asylum by the women he still loves. That's the "dark comedy" in the film.
Karel Reisz (July 21, 1926 -- November 25, 2002) was one of the most important filmmakers in post--war Britain.
Reisz was a Jewish refugee, one of the 669 rescued by Sir Nicholas Winton. His first feature film "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" (1960) was based on a social realist novel by Alan Sillitoe, and used many of the same techniques as his earlier documentaries. He directed Isadora (1968), The Gambler (1974), Who'll Stop the Rain (1978), The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981),
monty python even if its british, or clerks cuz its low budget, theyre completly different and er.. idk i woulnt compare them, cuz yea the other two are far better than morgan, but morgan was good for its.. different-ness...?
i liked the movie :( i noticed the bad camera work and sound quality but figured it was typical quality for something from the 60's, being i think the only thing from the 60's i could recall seeing...
yea i agree the ending was pretty crap, with the whole monkey suit chase and shit, but i thought over all it was a good movie! :( you shouldnt compare it to stuff like

Knowing the history of something doesn't mean that you have to like it or that it's good at all.
arcbarron 2 years ago
Totally right..But liking something or not is a long way from it being good or bad..One is an opinon, the other a value judgement..
C0NTR4B455 2 years ago
You can't personally determine the worth of something. That's why there ARE opinions.
In this case, our judgment on the value of Morgan has been made clear.
You seem to have a problem with people who disagree with you. That is not of our concern.
Make your own review if you'd like, but we didn't enjoy the movie.

Acting. Spot on, mate. It looks like you got it.
Morgan is pretty much garbage, though.
By the way, your profile says you're from the US.

We have a professor at the local college that gives us three laserdiscs at a time to review, we go through them, and he gives us three more.
It's really just up to him as for what he loans us.

And the British don't do satire... (at least not you.)
We're poking fun at popular critics while referencing plot devices from the film. I'm terribly sorry that it goes over the heads of the British.
See... in character, we ARE doing irony. We say that it's so bad we fell asleep, so there's really no way we could fairly judge it. That's irony.
It fits in line with the film and that was the point.
Final word: Morgan WAS groundbreaking, but it isn't nearly as good today.

We aren't using an expensive film camera, first.
Second, it's a review, so shots aren't important.
Also, we keep repeating ourselves in incredibly dull, moronic, self satisfied, pseudo-appraisal because that's all Morgan really is. It's not a poignant, funny/sad movie for intelligent, educated adults.
