Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Master Cultist Sharp, searing, witty, vile, nasty, satirical, idiotic, thought-provoking, juvenile, sublime, absurd. Any and all of these labels can be applied to the genius that is Brasseye. Chris Morris co-scripts and presents a viciously satirical attack on the media in the modern world, tackling various subjects - all controversial, but to varying degrees - to get his point across.Several moments have entered the annals of TV folklore, including the infamous 'Cake' sequence (the 'made up' drug from Czechoslovakia), the masturbating Senator, and the Paedogeddon special, a Daily Mail baiting episode which caused a flurry of controversy when first aired, including calls for Channel 4 to be prosecuted for promoting the idea of paedophilia. Talk about people missing the point!Love it or hate it, Brasseye took us to places no other TV show had dared before, luring unsuspecting celebrities to whore themselves with mindless scripts, or to fake support for a charity organisation, just to show how much they 'care'. The finest example of this is the Capitol Radio DJ who describes a charity as "A fabulous organisation", little realising that it doesn't even exist!Never dull, always provocative, a must see for anyone with a mind.

movieman_kev Yet ANOTHER reason that English comedies are mostly leaps and bounds ahead pretty much a good deal of the 'comedy' on the television of my homeland, America, is this 6 episode satire of TV news. The shows are separated into 6 subjects: Animals, drugs, science, sex, crime, and moral decline, all of them taking a tongue firmly in cheek, yet total deadpan approach. While some of the material falls flat (the sex episode, while still amusing, had some dreary parts), most of it is amazingly brilliant and a great deal of fun to watch to boot. I keep hearing how "American are too dumbed down", how "we wouldn't get it" if Brass Eye was on in the states. This is of course, total nonsense, for I, as an American love this show.This was followed by a special that didn't really live up to the series.My Grade: A

jodyraggo What can be said about Christopher Morris that has not already been said. He is one of the most talked about comedians and satirists to come out of these shores in a long, long time. Everyone has an opinion on him, whether it be good or bad. Whatever it is he is doing his job. He is making people talk about the issues of media manipulation and sensationalism and the power of celebrity.With his Brass Eye shows, not only did he cover a diverse range of subjects (everything from animal cruelty, paedophilia, sex and drugs) but also mimicked and mocked a wide range of media (such as the talk show, investigative reporting made famous by Roger Cook and his Cook Report and the CrimeWatch appeal shows seen within the 2001 controversial special. But as with any comedian, he has to be funny and he certainly is that. Whether it be a 25 ft wicker phallus or the Virgin Mary driving a car, you just can't help but laugh. The subject may be deadly serious but the subject matter certainly is not. Morris does not mock the subject itself but the media's handling of the subject and what lengths B-list celebrities will go to get into the spotlight. You can't help but laugh at Phil Collins wearing a Nonce Sence T-shirt or NIck Owen talking about fake electricity. How these people don't realise they are talking rubbish is anyone's guess.Whether he is doing television, radio or writing Christopher Morris will always be etched on the minds of the British public in one way or another. Who said British television was dead when we can produce programmes as innovative as Brass Eye.

SC-14 There is actually very little point in writing this- it will never be repeated on British television as it offended too many of the moronic b-list celebrities who unwittingly contributed it; it is unlikely that American TV will show it, as even HBO would probably baulk at the content; it is almost definite that it will never be released on video. Yet, to the lucky few who actually saw it- as opposed to the hysteria that followed its only broadcast- it remains the greatest satire of the 1990s, perhaps of the television age.Chris Morris is merciless in his humour- an abused girl is asked if her attacker was as good-looking as he is; in completely convincing fake American news extracts, we are told of menaces to American society such as the increase of priests with guns, and of the forgotten fourth man of the Apollo 11 mission whose role was that of sexual slave to the other three. Celebrities are fooled into supporting all kinds of ridiculous causes- Jilly Cooper and Alexandra Paul support an elephant in a German zoo which has stuck its trunk in its anus in a fit of depression; Stephen Berkoff warns us of the perils of 'heavy electricity' falling out of wires; and, controversially, several celebrities and Members of Parliament speak out against the fictitious drug 'Cake'- questions were even raised in Parliament, which led to the postponement of the original showing.Many have found this programme grossly offensive, yet the conclusion is obvious- either celebrities are stupid, or they will jump on any bandwagon to promote themselves. The boldness too- Morris is a man who will take a hidden camera and ask real drug dealers for non-existent drugs whilst wearing only a nappy (diaper)and a beach ball.Chris Morris is God.
