Putain 15 ans: les guignols 1988-2003 (vhs) (DVD)

I got a love / hate feeling towards this show.

Love, because it's funny and subversive. In other words, it brings to light the hidden and dark motives of the people who are in command of our civilizations: the world company, the media manipulations, the egoistic politicians,.. It's the only place where you can heart it. In some way, they are democratic puppets and their rebellion is real freedom! And as they say the truth with derision, they hurt a lot and makes us laugh.

Hate, because the comedy has become parody and it's dull: imagination has left because it is "like" the movies, the TV shows In addition, it's always the same trick: the person is limited to one trait, which is used over and over. At last, it's about people, not the simple people but the rich, famous and powerful people. And I really don't care about them! They can do whatever they want, as long as they don't try to reach us, they don't exist for me. So I don't run to see the show!
