Rating: "South Park" is perhaps the most famous animated series for adults, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. There is nothing more politically incorrect and cheeky: in fact, South Park has always made fun of everything and everyone without fearing anyone through the stories of four kids, each with different personalities, yet all brilliant and foul-mouthed.
The characters are: Stan, the most normal kid and perhaps the least likable and more sensible; Kyle, a somewhat irritable Jewish kid, always mocked for his nationality by Eric Cartman, a fat, racist child, the most brilliant and mean-spirited. Finally, there is Kenny, a boy wrapped in an orange hood whose speech is indecipherable and who dies in every episode. After making fun of everyone, it was also the turn of American saccharine films, especially Disney's sugary musicals. And here is the "South Park" movie, full of ingenious ideas and pure nastiness.
Plot: Trombino and Pompadour, two Canadians (who in the series are always drawn with their wobbly heads cut in half) who run a fart-based show, make a movie, "Asses of Fire", and all the kids go to see it and take the "bad example", to the point where Kenny dies after trying to set fire to a fart. Then Kyle's mother, the most combative and intolerant, forms a party of angry mothers and ends up declaring war on Canada and executing Trombino and Pompadour in a public execution. Meanwhile, Kenny has gone to hell, where Satan (here depicted as a misunderstood gay) plans to come to Earth with his sex-hungry partner Saddam Hussein once there's enough hatred in the world to allow it. Our heroes will try in every way to save Trombino and Pompadour, and they will succeed thanks to a cuss word-blocking chip installed on Cartman that screws around (who will almost kill Saddam). In the end, after the war claims incredible victims, Saddam dies at the hands of Satan, who will make everything return to the way it was before.
A fantastic movie, where every scene must be seen and studied. Beautiful is also Stan's storyline, where he has to find the clitoris to win over his beloved Wendy; the depiction of Satan, with a personality much like that of women who hate men obsessed with sex; Cartman's adventures and his chip; Kenny's afterlife (where, for the first time in the film, he reveals his face and speaks comprehensibly); the bad adventures of Trombino and Pompadour and many other absolutely intelligent and well-considered bits, which may seem like nonsense but are always incredibly sharp and biting mockeries. The songs are also beautiful, among which "Kyle's mom is a bitch" (Kyle's mom is a bitch!) stands out, masterfully sung by Cartman. To conclude, certainly one of my favorite films, where profanity becomes common language and mockery becomes daily life.
Rating 9.5/10.
P.S. Sorry if the plot is a bit long, but I'm not good at writing film reviews.
