Snatch – Of the GREEDY PIGS and the NEMESIS

I watched this film for the nth time today. Why? Oh yeah, you need reasons, do you?. Immensely Hilarious. Super Slapstick stuff. Stunning camera work for a violent comedy. Hmmm a heady mix that is! A Racy plot. Fantastic background score. The Brit accent tops it all, dosent it? And above all lotsa FART!

The veteran Alan Ford as Brick Top is simply awesome. He steals the thunder from Brad Pitt and Jason Statham though he appears only in a few scenes. There’s one ‘classy’ BM - Brit Mafia dialogue at Winamp 46:11 (remaining time) on the DivX cut that is highly recommended from my side for all slapstick comedy lovers. It’s about How a cool Mafia Boss assails a pair of juvenile, part time thieves (who don’t know that he’s one) disposing a corpse and scares ‘em to death. For those who cannot see this fantastic movie in the near future here are some parts of the dialogue which I quote from memory!:

‘‘What you gonna do with your man there? You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut it up into six pieces and pile it all together. After you got six pieces you gotta get rid of 'em, of course you can't just leave it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, can ya? And then I hear the best thing to do is feed 'em to pigs. You gotta starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped up body looks like curry to a drunk. ……………. They go through bone like it's butter. You gotta have a few pigs though you need about sixteen, they will go through a body that weighs two hundred pounds in about eight minutes that means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute,. . . Hence the expression as greedy as a pig.”

Really you got to see Ford sayin this in one sitting to the completely baffled thieves, I’m sure it’ll leave you in splits.

He goes on to scare them:

‘Do you know what Nemesis means?

A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent, personified in this case by a horrible ****. Me.’

Lock, Stock and two smokin' Barrels is another mov of the same genre. Awesome.

But the violence is excessive, yes. Coarse language. If you despise these, then you musn't see these movs.
