Featured review
We are the dwarves (well, duh...)
Too many things to say about this movie: I couldn't watch it in one sitting, but I couldn't leave it be, I had to finish it. If the evening news makes you laugh, maybe you should give this a look. Don't think this is some dwarfspoitation flick; this story could have been filmed with standard actors and retained most of its meaning. But creating this vision of dwarves in an oversized world makes the story timeless, makes the characters closer to universal. The inmates rebel against a world they never made, but they don't want freedom; They just want to hit something back. When I watch CNN, that makes even more sense. Bottom line, Herzog made his casting choice so we'd all be feelin' it, yo. BTW, someone suggested that the more accurate translation for the film title is "Even Dwarves Had to Start Somewhere" Hope that helps it make sense.
