 The Last Supper (DVD)
 The Last Supper (DVD) ... 24 February, 2003 at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / Painted in mile-wide strokes of black satirical comedy, The Last Supper turns intolerance into a parlour trick, then repeats it ad nauseam in case we missed the joke. Still, redundancy can be fun when applied to the pre-meditated murder of right-wing extremists by self-righteous left-wing zealots. Director Stacy Title is an equal-opportunity offender, never taking sides. The grisly high jinks commence when a truck-driving, child-molesting, Hitler-loving ex-Marine (Bill Paxton, acing the role) is accidentally killed while dining with a clutch of snobby liberal grad students, played with uniform excellence by Cameron Diaz (showing early promise), Ron Eldard, Courtney B. Vance, Annabeth Gish, and co-producer Jonathan Penner. Having acquired a taste for blood, the wine-poisoning liberals stage "last suppers" with hand-picked targets (Charles Durning, Mark Harmon, Jason Alexander, and ultimately Ron Perlman), eventually attracting a suspicious sheriff (fine work by SNL alumnus Nora Dunn). It's got all the subtlety of a pile-driver, but The Last Supper craftily defends free speech by exposing its most vicious violations. --Jeff ShannonNewest Review: ... individual with strong beliefs, to their dinner party, and if they decide that they are evil, then they are given wine which ... more ... is poisoned. They then die, and are buried in the back garden.
Are the group morally right to kill individuals with whom they disagree? Well, no, by doing that, they are just as bad as the evil people that they are killing, but philosophically, would it have been right or wrong to kill Hitler early on if it was known what damage he would cause?
The victims that they pick for their "last supper" meetings are also very different, so although in some cases you might think "I can understand why they wo...more |

I really like films which have a political and philosophical bent to them, and especially those which provoke thought, and this film, Last Supper, sounded like something I would enjoy, and I wasn't disappointed. It's in essence a black comedy, although its humour is subtle. The plot of the film is that a group of people murder someone, but then discover that they were evil. This group of people, who to cut corners we will call left-wing, then decide that they could help out society and humanity by "removing" more evil people. Of course, what defines evil is arguable, and that is one of the questions which is raised by the film. But this ... Read the complete review

This is it, this is the one - The Last Supper, the best movie ever made, sorry to all you out there who've claimed that movies such as Titanic, Mallrats and Schindlers List are the best they're not this is, why? because I said so thats why!! But seriously though it is my own opinion though and although some of you out there disagree with me hopefully by the time you've finished reading this I'll have you all rushing out to get yourself a copy! It was 4 years ago that my love affair with this movie began, it all started so innocently with Sky advertising that it would get its British TV Premiere on one of their movie-specific channels at 10pm on a ...
