Feel kinda bad because Marie never watches flicks with me anymore, and when she finally decides to....it's kinda crap.
Meet the Fokkens could have been a really interesting documentary. It could have been very emotional or very funny. But it was just pretty drab.
It's about identical twins in the red light district in the Netherlands. They've been whoring for five decades! This is their story. zzzzzzzzz...
There's no narration; they let the Fokkens tell their own story. I don't know if that was the best idea. It's very fly-on-the-wall. But with fifty years of tales this could have been a far more dynamic and compelling story and a deft Director could have made something far superior out of this content. They could have mined the content from a different angle. Unfortunately, pointing a camera at identical twin hookers doesn't just equate to cinematic gold. You have to work with it.
So, in a nutshell, don't watch this movie. Maybe Whores' Glory is better. I can't be bothered finding out right now...
I get really fucking angry when I think about how perverted and twisted men can be with their lust for the female body. I think of how many women are in that dirty "business" because they are forced to in one way or another. It makes me feel helpless and sorry for the women in their shitty situations. You don't see women driving around looking for scantily clad men in doorways, do you?
