This is coupled with possibly a far more controversial aspect of the film, when audiences see it, the complete blinkered tolerant mindset of the British, unable to see or recognise clear signs of terrorist cells under their noses. Especially when they are using children's social networking site Party Puffin to communicate terrorist strategy across the world. But those aspirations, killing hundreds of people and yourself at the same time, are horrific. And now he does this thing, a new feature film, directed and written by Morris alongside the Peep Show writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong and The Thick Of It writer Sam Blackwell.Īnd so it becomes a comedy of having aspirations above your ability to achieve them, half way between Dad's Army and The Office. From childish descriptions of a vision of Jesus Christ with two penises pissing on an assembled crowd on the biggest radio station in the country the afternoon before Christmas Day, broadcasting a hacked-down version of the Diana funeral speeches, persuading celebrities and politicians to support and promote clearly fictitious charities or causes, parodying the media treatment of sex, crime, drugs and more controversially paedophilia, or finding new ways to celebrate 9/11 in fashion and nightclubs… yeah, he does that kind of thing. But by the sound of it you probably should.Ĭhris Morris has a history of being on the very cutting edge of social and political commentary from his radio, TV and online projects. If that sentence fills you will utter repulsion, then you won't be able to sit through the first five minutes.
