"Shall we say it is a realistic presentation of an extrem case of gratuitous use?"Or an extreme presentation of realistic gratuitous use.
I shouldn't have used the term realistic. As a parody, everything in the movie is over the top. Still, its one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. Definitely not for everybody though. One of those movies I find to be intelligently written yet others would consider "trash" :-)
"Needless to say, many realistic things hardly deserve to be shown on the screen."
Couldn't agree more. Gore and blood come to mind, although as with "Fear" I make an exception for Braveheart. A very gory movie, yet well done.
"Unless it is the Social Realism - then it is few nothes below that."
Showing my ignorance - I'm not sure what you mean by this
