Mooovie Review: WILD TALES

6 separate tales. 1 common way of living. A hilariously, crazy, wonderfully subversive movie.


Spoilers Below!

Revenge is a big part of the fun, but it goes deeper. There are local social issues at play too - loan sharks, classy jerks, predatory parking tickets, corruption, injustice, adulterers.

Before watching, I thought psychopaths and sociopaths had no real role in the human world. Why is at least 1% of the population psychopathic? Why haven't they been evolved entirely out of the gene pool?

Now I know part of the answer. Psychopaths take things to what they think should be the conclusion, irrespective of what anyone thinks about them. They have no empathy, sympathy, care for the side effects. They are entirely true to their intentions. They don't care what you think ,they just do it. And they will stick to it until the awesome...or bloody end. Psychopaths are evil, but they may also be the most honest.

There is another word for this, made popular by startups - FAIL FAST. Failure is ok and necessary, but logically, we would succeed faster if we don't waste time on failure. With the minimum of drama and waste, things should be taken to their natural conclusion. Speed up life, so you can live more.

ALL in ALL...

Never betray your principles and you will reach your fate before you know it. If you think it's a good fate, go for it. If you think it's bad, well, don't follow it just yet, examine yourself and change accordingly.

Now go watch Wild Tales in a real cinema and watch 6 crazy life-stories condensed into 2 hours!
