Freddy Got Fingered Review
Freddy Got Fingered is in no way a conventionally good film. Nearly unanimous bad reviews found that it was not conventionally well-directed, written, shot, or acted. While this makes the film off-putting for many, it does feel like the movie Tom_Green intended to make. He wants to throw off convention. There are many disturbing images in the film, but they seem to be there for a reason that goes beyond shock value. The conflict between Gord and his father is presented at an extremely Freudian level; metaphorically and literally, Gord must cut the cord that keeps him attached to his parents. The images in the film support this subtext, while simultaneously turning one's stomach. There is a remarkably disturbing scene in which Gord delivers a baby. It is one of the bloodiest births ever put on film. This makes sense thematically, as Gord himself needs to be reborn; removing himself from the remarkably dysfunctional relationship he shares with his father will be as difficult as the birth. While most gross-out films are simply attempting to shock the audience for the sake of shock, Freddy Got Fingered seems to have something bigger on its mind. Even for a gross-out picture, Freddy Got Fingered is unconventional. Perry Seibert, Rovi
