Shock and Awe., 12 April 2003
Author: Daryl Goins (mafiahitman@juno.com) from Hampton, Virginia

This film contains as much shock and awe as any other archaic educational film, this one is just different for some reason.

The strip begins with a girl walking down the street, who is soon approached by a man in a car. The man waves her over and begins stroking her hair. This is the "Shock" part. Then the title of the movie comes to light, and the audience is revealed the the girl is probably mentally retarded in some way. This is the "Aww..." part.

The movie is loaded with every single thing you'd probably be told in this era NOT to do. Not only that, but the audience is constantly questioning itself as to whether or not the actors playing the "retardates" are actually trainables, or whether they are actors playing as trainables. And if they are truly handicapped, do they know that they are acting?

It's not something that everyone will like, but for the sickminded and folk with the extremely twisted sense of humor, this is sure to do the trick.

NOT TO BE USED IN A SERIOUS SETTING EVER!!!
