The UK's political cult is worse than the one in the US? Damn no way. Also, why are Canada and New Zealand able to escape craziness the way the other anglophone nations can't? I mean, they have their incidents but it doesn't seem like they get hit as badly as the other three.

Canada is only looks good because its next to us, like it is a lot less crazy but you have a lot of the nutty right wing racist conservatism it just looks so much nicer because the US is right to the south.  Which is the same thing with Australia-New Zealand to a lesser extent.  I will say, I think the fact that Canada didn’t have as much of a history with slavery and the fact that it was forced to be religiously tolerant of two different groups of christians helps a lot in terms of them being less completely insane.  

New Zealand I don’t know as well, they seem to be the only Anglo country who aren’t complete monsters, it might be because New Zealands colonial history is...less awful, but I think it is mostly because their current prime minister is super awesome and so they are just universally better than us at most things.  

For the record, from worse to best i would say Australia, UK, US, Canada, New Zeland.  If you count South Africa as an Anglo country they complicate the whole picture.

Common Wealth [La comunidad] (2000)

It’s difficult to be like Alfred Hitchcock.  A giant of cinema, he inspires many directors.  It’s clear that Álex de la Iglesia enjoys his films, and Common Wealth is trying to be a Hitchcock picture.  The title sequence begins with a Vertigo Spirograph and there are many sequences shot in high places like that film.  The dead body found at the film’s beginning recalls Norman Bates’ mother in Psycho, and the climax is like North by Northwest or Saboteur, the characters dangling from a sculpture.

Frequently, Hitchcock’s films have a streak of dark humor to them.  But it always gives them with a wink.  The humor of this film has a real mean streak to it, which undermines the levity of other aspects of the film.  But c’mon guys, at least we’ve got Carmen Maura to rely on.
