Review of Carlos

Carlos (2010)
6/10
The merry life of a murderer
29 January 2011
I just spent 330 min. watching this movie. I guess I have too much free time. Because it certainly didn't deserve it. Shortly, we have a big, macho "Carlos" whom you'll get to see in almost every shot of the extralong movie, who gets all the cool chicks, smokes every damn cigarette on earth, drinks tons of whiskey and dances like it's the end of the world, all while making millions and millions in the lucrative industry of killing innocent people. Blasting them to pieces, shooting them and so forth. Isn't it "revolutionary"? Noble? Full of idealism? Isn't it a heroic "fight for the oppressed"? People now make movies about his life, some write books, so as not to miss the great personality that he was! Well, he's a murderer of innocent people and, in my book, he doesn't deserve a biographic movie at all, even more so one portraying him as a complex personality worthy of analysis.
