Anyone here seen "Canadian Bacon"? (movie)

[Coventina]

The SO and I watched it last night. We had never seen it.
Boy, is it ever weird to watch in a post- 9/11, Iraq war world!
So many little things in that movie ended up happening that it's almost scary!

It's really not all that great of a movie, but it shows that even when Michael Moore does a "bad" movie, he's still got a lot of insight!

1. I thought it was a great movie!

But then I live in Buffalo, right next door to Niagara Falls - so I'm sort of biased.

I think it was a good portrayal of the local economics & people. Yes, we do drink a lot of beer. Yes, we do bitch about the Canadians (just as they do about us.) And yes, we do like hockey.

I can tell you, not much has changed in the last 10 years - and its gotten significantly worse in the last four. If anything Michael Moore is a prophet.

2. I thought it was funny too

years ago when I saw it. It might not be as funny now, as you mentioned there are some parallels to today.

3. "how do you know we're in canada?" ..."there's no trash or grafitti."

great line, funny movie, john candy's last.

4. Canadians: They walk among us.

Overall, I thought it didn't hold together too well as a whole, but there are some great moments, like the anti-Canadian propaganda, and when Dan Aykroyd, as the Canadian motorcycle cop, requires the guys to duplicate all the anti-Canadian graffiti on their vehicle in French. ("We mustn't forget les Quebecois!")

5. Ha ha! Yes, that was my favorite moment!!

:D

Mange mes shorts!

On Edit: that was how it was written in the movie, however the imperative form would probably more correctly be: Mangez mes shorts!

But someone with more knowledge of French could comment better. And also, something tells me the characters wouldn't be French experts anyway.
