A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
This movie just screams pretension the director even admitted he just wanted to offend people like an edgy 12 year old on the internet but because it was made in the 70's people didn't realize that John Waters had the intellectual equivalent of a modern 12 year old on the internet. Someone who just wants to offend people with no actual depth is just a pretentious man-child. A selfish self-centered sociopath devoid of empathy, social reasoning, social context, or self awareness made this movie and all the characters are the same kind disgusting sociopaths as well with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The only difference between John Waters and his band of disgusting characters and other notorious sociopaths is that they made movies so their sociopathic acts are excused because its "art" like many pretentious so called modern artists who like defecate on a canvas and call it art. When in reality they are just sociopaths who crave attention but lack the social skills mental reasoning and intellect to actually create art that isn't a pretentious facade with no meaning or depth. And just like the aforementioned "artists" john waters includes human leavings in this movie which are consumed by the fat ugly transvestite called divine. The entire cast of this "film" are sociopathic freaks who should be in mental hospitals. Insanity should not be excused because some people think it's progressive. Bestiality, pedophilia, genital mutilation, transvestism, and other sick fetishes presented in this travesty of a film are symptoms of mental illness and not the same as being attracted to other men or women which is fine and normal and people shouldn't feel like that makes them special and above straight people. John Waters however does think that he's special and also thinks that gives him the right to act like a maniac and have his characters do whatever to offend people, again much like a 12 year old which Waters shares a mental level with. In closing the movie is terrible so only watch it if you're a pretentious douche who thinks that they're better than everybody else like Waters.
I used a spoiler warning just to play it safe, but there's really nothing to spoil. "Pink Flamingos" Is about two people competing to be the most vile creature on the planet...that's it. That's pretty much all this movie contains of what is technically defined as a plot.If you want to watch a mentally ill transsexual eat canine excrement (Oh and fun fact, it wasn't a prop either. The "actor" actually chewed on real dog faeces). Or if you're in the mood for seeing a chicken get squashed to death between two people having intercourse (And once again it wasn't a prop, the actors squashed a real chicken to death). Then this movie is exactly what you're looking for. But if you're a mentally stable individual with an average or above average IQ. I can't think of any reason why you'd enjoy it. Now don't get me wrong, my criticism of "Pink Flamingos" isn't that it contains obscenities. I have frequently praised movies which are much more obscene and disturbing than this. "Martyrs", "Oldboy", "Freaks", "Antichrist", "Eraserhead", just to name a few. The difference is that the obscenities in those movies serve an intelligent well crafted plot with a meaningful philosophical or poetic message, while "Pink Flamingos" is just vile for the sake of being vile. I give "Pink Flamingos" a 1/10, I can't think of a single redeeming quality of this movie. It is completely unwatchable. The fact that it's considered a "cult classic" is just an indication of the sick society we're living in. And I'm especially surprised that this movie is so popular among members of the LGBT community. Surely Harris Glenn Milstead's portrayal of a gross mentally ill guy in a dress is exactly the kind of image the LGBT community doesn't want to have? If "Divine" is the media image of a transsexual which you're going to promote and popularize, then you can't blame people for having prejudices about transsexuals.
I really thought this movie was all gonna be just action. I wouldn't call it even the best but, still it would be good to try and enjoy the film! Instead it was just bland and boring!This is my first time seeing Divine, I really thought she was just your typical drag queen, she honestly would've been better if she was starring in A-list movies. Although, finding out that she ate real dog feces would make you sick! Seriously, this is worse than the TV show "I'm a Celebrity"! I only watched 10 minutes of the movie and it wasn't that great. The camera kept shaking, so you wouldn't really concentrate on what's going on. The acting was pretty horrible, they look as if they were acting in a musical, not a black comedy! I swear to god, what was John Waters thinking of casting the actors?! I think I've said enough, all I can say is this movie is crap and poorly made! This is one of the worst movies that was ever created!
First of all, I want to quickly squeeze in that the dialogue is wholly atrocious. I can't stand it. Now for the review...John Waters misses the mark in Pink Flamingos, overshooting avant-garde paraphelia to eye-rolling licentiousness. The plot revolves around two parties with an overly uncanny fetish for filth (coincidentally not too far from each other). Why or how such perversion in their lives came to be is never explained. Even the setting is almost anachronistic in nature.I watched this movie finding myself without care for any of the characters amidst this misfire of art. John Waters may have set the benchmark high for sickness in cinema, but watching it without any rhyme or reason implores me to wonder why I'm bothering watching any of it. If John Waters wanted to prove something by producing this movie, he grossly failed (pun absolutely intended).It could be possible (albeit highly unlikely) that John Waters made Pink flamingos "ars gratia artis," but that failed too. The utterly shoddy camera-work coupled with the haphazard film editing is a quick recipe to make a movie unwatchable. Waters has never cooked it more perfectly.My least favorite movie is Freddy got Fingered. That movie is mindless shock humor. Coincidence? I think not.
