LA GUÍA DEL AUTOESTOPISTA GALÁCTICO

"The Book: It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, Man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the *third* most intelligent. The second most intelligent were of course dolphins. Dolphins had long known of the impending destruction of earth and had on many occasions tried to alert mankind but their warnings were mistakenly interpreted as attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits. "

Curiosa película.

A ratos divertida -sobre todo un Sam Rockwell salido totalmente de madre- y en todo momento veloz, loca y alucinada. En la onda de películas de la década de los 70 que incluían denuncia política como "Material americano" (la única que ahora me viene a la mente).
Quizá no hace reir todo lo que debiera, pero su extraño argumento se basta para atraer la atención del espectador que no tenga un día difícil y exigente.

La intrascendencia que transmite hace que en algunos momentos la historia caiga en la inanidad y eso que el argumento va sobre el sentido de la vida... Lo cual, si uno lo piensa dos veces, tiene bastante sentido... Por lo que ahora mismo no se si se trata de un virtud o un defecto de la película.
Quizá debiera pensarlo más, pero, y siguiendo a pies juntillas el espíritu del autoestopista galáctico... NO VOY A HACERLO.

De todas formas, gracias a todos por el pescado.

Dolphins: [singing] So long, and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this / We tried to warn you all, but, oh, dear / You may not share out intellect / Which might explain your disrespect / For all the natural wonders that grow around you / So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish!
Dolphins: [singing] The world's about to be destroyed / There's no point getting all annoyed / Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you / Despite those nets of tuna fleets / We thought that most of you were sweet / Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women / So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish!
Dolphin: [singing] If I had just one last wish / I would like a tasty fish! Dolphin: [singing] If we could just change one thing / We would all have learnt to sing!
Dolphins: [singing] Come one and all / Man and mammal / Side by side / In life's great gene pool!
Dolphins: [singing] So long, so long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long and thanks for all the fish!

Será un film de culto... o no será nada.... una nada más dentro de la historia del cine.
