supersoul

@BLECH... I asked myself the same question when I bought the CD back in 1991 in Wenceslas Square in Prague; the price is still stuck on it... 320 crowns. The release of the album wasn't planned for the European market, but Czechoslovakia was a sort of second home for Zappa. He was even appointed by President Havel (a fan of his) as the ambassador of culture and tourism...

@franci...but are they keeping you away by transitive property (given the "shitty fan," then Zappa must be the same) or because they're advising you against it directly?

...it must be, but I nearly pissed myself laughing while listening to the female voice read the review, especially during the part about er Pomata and the licking of the little dog... ahahah. It sounded like Natolia introducing the three Bulgarians "...let's shiver"

If poor Chris was looking for something, it certainly isn't on this page, and I believe you are the first to misunderstand that guy and the last one who could reevaluate him. A humble attempt is not made through braggadocio like "I'm here giving pearls to swine" and "you idiots, I'm going to kick your ass." Before trying to understand the film, try to understand yourself instead, because you give the impression of someone who isn't quite right in the head.

Son, I really don't have to explain anything to you, not even the damn thing ;-)

Dear Fedee, the mistake of many who have seen this film, in my humble opinion, is to consider it a coming-of-age journey. No, this is a journey of destruction that you can embark on at 17, 30, 50, or 70 years old. Chris doesn’t leave to "better himself" in order to return to society improved by that experience. He leaves because he rejects that society, but not as a hero; he is a misfit who can't fit into that society. He has been compared to Dersu Uzala, but that comparison is absurd. If there's anyone to compare him to, it’s Robert "Eroica" Dupree (Jack Nicholson) from "Five Easy Pieces" (there's the review) who can't adapt to interpersonal relationships (rightly or wrongly) with his family in particular and society in general, and for this reason, in the end, he hitches a ride on a truck heading to Alaska, abandoning his girlfriend, his jacket, his money, and his documents in the restroom of the service area.

Hey purpulan, I return from abundant drinking and see your post 73 that has been described as lucid, and since I believe I am in the same clarity as you were when you wrote it ;-) I'll tell you that perhaps Penn Junior tried to circuit the two planes, the ethical and the aesthetic, right in the final scene, when the boy dies with a smile looking at the sky, and perhaps as I said another time "... he smiles because, I repeat, he is up there watching the wonder of the sky (it reminds me of Pasolini's episode "What Are Clouds"), while the others embrace in pain under that sky of which they do not understand the greatness, lost as they are in the anxiety of sharing that pain."

go take a hike, I hope you at least know that Marshall Tucker is not a person.

Son, it seems no one has called you a little fool, perhaps the right word is braggart. You’re not the only one who has worked in life; I was already doing it (unfortunately) when you weren’t even born yet, and that doesn’t make you a hero. If the pearls you offer us pigs are this review and the one on Ryan Bingham that I read on storiadellamusica (it's quite a rascally site that gives itself such a name), I really don’t think we’ll lose anything if you leave.

But what does the "roof" have to do with the condition of isolation? He isolates himself because he doesn't want to deal with people. Now, whether he does it under a tent, in a cave, an abandoned caravan, or a villa with a mega pool, what's the difference? Enlighten me better, alia76.
