Kicks (1985 TV Movie)
Kicks: our stinky world's game !

Of course it's not a great movie, but it has a great idea. We live a stinky world, where people are all easy to be bought. And honesty, friendship, love.. are parts of the game. You have to enjoy, but only if you are one of the players. Otherwise, you'll be kicked for nothing but kicks, with no consolation for your humanity. Well, you have got to love this wild metaphoric reading.

The structure is loaded with internal meanings: Rich crazy robots control less rich, more sane, humans. Anyone who searches for love nowadays is a lonely lamb in a savage jungle. And it's where life = lying. It was really burning and unforgettable to discover that the people around the heroine were acting, simply because the people around you do the same!

Despite some points of weakness that can be noticed, (Kicks) is an important movie according to its cruel world which's not a dark vision for ours, only a part of its already true darkness. And it has a very good message too: in front of an awful life like this; don't kick about, or kick against. Do what the lead did; try to kick back, just to prove your innocence. It's some advice for all the pure persons, to survive through our stinky world's game.
