The Simpsons - The Movie (2007) by David Silverman
Simpson or Simpson?
Homer, Marge not obeying the order, discharge the waste from his pig into the lake already at the limit of endurance. The U.S. Government decides to isolate Springfield under a clear bubble, but the Simpson family will try in every way to save their beloved city.
The family's most famous television comes to the cinema after nearly two decades of regular programming, but what has kept his spirit?
The approach to this film can be varied, and depends essentially on knowledge of the viewer from the TV series created by Matt Groening.
I would distinguish between three types of people who are going to watch this film: who has virtually no idea what are the Simpsons, who has seen any episode and know what it is, and who can say good knowledge of the series, fans in other words.
The first type, the one formed by those who did not know what the Simpsons, you will definitely find this amusing transposition, and 'discover' this cartoon is more irreverent and outspoken than they thought (the position of most critics).
Even the average viewers will find this film enjoyable, pleasant, but they already knew the aforementioned irreverence.
fans, of which I unfortunately find myself a part, will no doubt with a bad taste in my mouth. Despite the big names who worked on the project, from the same L. Groening Brooks, writer of the episodes, the result is very low, compared of course to the TV series.
Much of this film you can understand if you see both on a large screen on a TV screen is: if the film the emotions out there, particularly because of the spectacular actions accompanied by an excellent technical achievement, not lacking in TV's yawning, lack of content is chilling, with a final result of absolute superficiality.
It 'clear that few have noticed this, very few would have expected something different from an American cartoon, and many, wrongly, saw this void as if the film had a longer TV episode. In fact, in a single episode for a little over twenty minutes there is a lot more substance of the entire film.
The motivation, however, is anything but obscure, it is indeed already evident from the very first scene of the film, in which Itchy & Scratchy, cat and mouse, if the damage of holy reason: unlike the episodes TV was censored the blood. As a great American tradition has been transformed into a work of social criticism, sometimes not at all modest, ipercommerciale work that have to be suitable for everyone, young and old, and must not be shocking to anyone, losing ability to think about (remember that the Simpsons would be openly democratic ideology).
As mentioned above, however, the implementation is very accurate, the film is fun and sometimes even the fans will find a little 'self-citations (for example, when shown the border with Springfield of the American States that do not border each other) . But in the end these are not the real Simpsons are a surrogate feel-good and watered.
