I can't believe Eric German gave this movie 4/5 stars. Me and my friends wanted to walk out after the first half (and some people did)because it was so incredibly bad, but then we realised we had already spent our Lm2.75.
If I had made this film, I'd seriously be embarrassed to show it in theatres. Even big-time directors like Quentin Tarantino had the decency to not release their crappy, cheap, amateur, first student film (I'm referring of course to "My Best Friend's Birthday" which, despite it's crappiness, is still more entertaining than "Gagga").
I knew I was going to watch a student film, but come on! I've seen better movies made with a webcam on youtube. "Gagga", with it's pretentious on the nose symbolism and metaphors, tries to be intellectual and thought-provoking (just like the recent American "querky" indie films), but instead ends up being as watchable as Andy Warhol's "Sleep." I wouldn't be so p!ssed off if they at least had the decency to screen this for free.
Btw, am I the only one who noticed the camera crew, audio man, and the guy with the clapper board yelling "Take 4!" in one of the final scenes of the movie? Did they forget to edit that out or is that some more genius intellectual metaphor I missed?
