The Italian Job

The movie (if you cant tell) is a comedy / heist movie / car chase and it benefits greatly from that making a brilliant movie about a team of rapscallions. It is an an amazing heist film ( BTW I'm talking' 1969 here so if you haven't watched the original you may not get this review ...) of is a very British movie with a very British soundtrack and a very British feel.
The end of the movie  is a literal cliffhanger and made me just go ballistic, like Forest Gump, but even more so because the main character charlie (who is literally like a dad to a bunch of toddlers) says hold on I've got a plan. I hate it because there was supposed to be a sequel but it was never made, it was going to be called the Brazilian job and the start would feature the real ending of The Italian Job. which in this case drives me crazy. the British feel of this movie is that this movie remembers Britannia as an evil superpower, setting up that in the late 60s when England was in decline and the country was in debt and Italy was gaining tons of money from the Chinese in gold. this movie shows british gangsters beating the mafia at their own game in their own backyard showing how strong britan is. also they showed mini-coopers like they would show bulldogs as in we are proud to have something very ugly to show our nationality. all heist movies have the same plot: set up an intricate plan with precise detail, do the job and human error gets in the way. what human error is in this movie is that they do The Italian Job and at the very end of the film the driver nearly throws the bus over the edge of the cliff. Why? because he made a Human Error.
"i only told you to blow the bloody doors off!!!!" is probably one of the most memorable lines  In this movie. there are many moments where people say "what the F**K!?!" in confusion as this happens you will notice that the movie has some terrible logic: here are the getaway vehicles ... a bus 3 mini coopers and an Indian coach? oh... 70s Italy,  how can a bike destroy a main power box? oh... 70s Italy but as i said Italy in the 70s was weird. my favorite part of the movie is when their driving down the tunnel and that guy grabs a chicken from the window. as seen here. I also love the lines at the funeral: if you fail the job then don't come back to Britain unless your in a coffin. the computer expert is perverted and Benny Hill ( Benny hill would start to like big women because its easier to chase them!) All in all  it is a film i think that everyone should experience not because its deep or moving but because its a bundle of British fun
