PLEASE, GOD, PLEASE MAKE TERRY GILLIAM'S NEXT MOVIE GOOD.
This is what Terry Gilliam ASPIRED to recreate when making the (awful) TIDELAND. BUTCHER BOY did it much better a decade earlier. This is the tragicomic loss of innocence as viewed through the eyes of a 12-year-old. Much of it makes little sense logically, because (duh!) much of LIFE makes little sense to a 12-year old. As if! (Do kids still say that?) So watch as a precocious Irish boy experiences his mother's suicide, his father's slow drunken death, lecherous boy-loving clergymen, and the heartbreaking realization that close friends eventually do drift apart. Are we having fun yet?
MODERN CINEMA'S REPRESENTATION OF A BUTCHER BOY. CUTE, HUH?
A REAL BUTCHER BOY. REAL LIFE AIN'T SO HUGGABLE, IS IT?
