the mechanics look at film

Tuesday, December 05, 2006


Bubba Hotep in my mind was initially thought of as a pointless comedy movie. After I watched and thought about the movie I feel ashamed. I feel bad for the guy. Although it was never made clear if the main character was the real Elvis, it was that thought which made the movie great in my mind. The movie showed us that the old white man could have actually been Elvis, but that there was no way the old black man was JFK. Elvis learned a life lesson that he might as well agree with him rather than losing a friend. He felt as most washed out stars do. He wanted the feeling of fame he had before he lost it. To go out with a bang, he had to kill the ghost that haunted the home. Bubba Hotep was not the typical movie that we watch in Film Studies, but it was great none the less.
