Yoju T Nov 28 This movie is a bird’s eye view of the human condition. The Maries despair over the rotten state of the world and cope through nihilistic debauchery in satirical situations. At the end of the day, they realize, as we all must, that creation must exceed destruction, and endeavor to put things to rights and leave things better instead of worse than they found them. Unfortunately, their own actions come back around and lead to their demise, but such is life. When the credits roll, I feel inspired to do what I can for the betterment of the world around me instead of engaging in vices fatalistically. Visually stunning and incredibly engaging.

Some people said it was an ordeal while others have said that it is 'anarchic'. To be completely honest with you, it's kind of boring. I like the spirit or idea of it but it's a kind of a snooze. You might need a cup of coffee for this one. The fact that it's Czech and artsy and feminist is nice, but it's not enough. Thinking about watching it? I say, think again.

The best I can say for it is it won't go down well if you're an INTJ See more Dave S Aug 17 If forced to try to attach some sort of meaning to Daisies, I’d guess that it has something to do with the social and political turmoil in Czechoslovakia in the late ‘60s, a rebuke of law and order under authoritarian rule. Or maybe not. What little plot there is seems to be about two women creating havoc wherever they go. There seems to be a food thread that may or may not relate to sexuality. And then there’s the angle of taking scissors to phallic-shaped food items which may have something to do with symbolically castrating those who are oppressing the masses. Or maybe not. It all looks like a high school media studies project or something by Luis Bunuel after dropping acid and taking nitrous oxide. The phrase “is there any way to mend what is broken?” pops up in a subtitle at the end – this could be a clue to something, but who knows? Being a bit obtuse at the best of times could be a reason why I don’t understand any of this.

This morose, dystopian film reeks of the Bolshevik lack of humility and humanity. It carries the stench of the Weimar Republic*. It's a shame the Wehrmacht didn't find victory in Moscow. Uncle Adolf gave it his best, but one small nation against 3 superpowers was just too much to bear. *Uncle, thank you for ending it. =============== Это, возможно, самый извращенный и коррумпированный фильм, который я видел с тех пор, как пьяница по имени Брежнев ковылял по полу Кремля, как жирная утка. Этот угрюмый, антиутопический фильм пахнет большевистским отсутствием смирения и человечности. Он несет смрад Веймарской республики*. Жаль, что Вермахт не одержал победу в Москве. Дядя Адольф выложился по полной, но одна маленькая страна против трех сверхдержав — это просто невыносимо. *Дядя, спасибо, что положил этому конец. Eto, vozmozhno, samyy izvrashchennyy i korrumpirovannyy fil'm, kotoryy ya videl s tekh por, kak p'yanitsa po imeni Brezhnev kovylyal po polu Kremlya, kak zhirnaya utka. Etot ugryumyy, antiutopicheskiy fil'm pakhnet bol'shevistskim otsutstviyem smireniya i chelovechnosti. On neset smrad Veymarskoy respubliki*. Zhal', chto Vermakht ne oderzhal pobedu v Moskve. Dyadya Adol'f vylozhilsya po polnoy, no odna malen'kaya strana protiv trekh sverkhderzhav — eto prosto nevynosimo. *Dyadya, spasibo, chto polozhil etomu konets.
