Repo: The Genetic Opera

[Ol'Canucklehead]

This movie was Stylized to have a comic book feel, even though it had never been published as a comic. The story is truely genious, and the music is amazing! How many have seen this before? How many have even heard of it?

Repo is centerd around a not to distant future in which organ failure has become an epidemic, but a Savior comes along in the form of a company called Genco who offers organ replacement at an afordable, finacible price. But be timely on your payments or Genco will send their Repo-Men, legal assasins put to work after organ reposetion was made Legal.

To me it has all of the thematic elements of a comic book, but with the added musical quality. Repo-Man, Nathan, is basicaly the Batman type of character of the film....but more on the side of an anti-hero or villain at times. There is a definate duality about him, and all of the other characters are equaly as interesting. This story was done with an almost Rocky Horror quality about it. Tell me what YOU think.

Any opinions?

I had planned to get a copy but I got laid off then. So I have to wait a bit longer. But I think the music is brilliant and the casting is superb.

Never had a chance to see it.

I recomend that I you get a chance to see it than take that oportunity. Its fantastic, they have even put it back in theaters because of its Cult Hit status. They are even doing the shows with full shadow casts like Rocky Horror.

"Zydrate comes in a little glass vial."

I saw it at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto back in January and absolutely loved it. there was a Q&A with Terrance Zdunich (co-writer of Repo and GraveRobber in the film) after the screening.

I envy you, there is nothing here in Dallas. San Antonio has a shadow cast, but we got nothin.

And I LOVE Zydrate Anatomy!
