The meaning of the story Whithnail and I is that friendship is based on peoples conditions and thoughts on life and friendship is less of a tie but a race to finish and who gets to their goal first. the difference between personalities of two people doesn't matter so long as the friendship is sealed. childhood friendships are a race to see who grows up first, adult friendship is to see who can do something with their lives, the only true friendships that will last forever are ones you make in school and ones you make in a workplace. How this relates to the film is that Whithnail and Marwood (I) are 2 actors both out of work, and are on drugs just for fun. they are both trying to contact their agents and they are both trying to get work as an actor or writer. but in the meantime they cant (SPOILER WARNING) Marwood finishes first and leaves Whithnail to pay off his debts and find work, leaving only memories and a few souvenirs for Whithnail.
The completely mad and homo sexual Uncle Monty makes good material for the movie to work with and make fun of! I digress, the movie is a hilarious dark comedy film set in the late 60s in Britain. its a
humerus palava following the drug fuelled adventures of the terrible
twosome in the city and the country. it also has some of the most
hilarious lines in movies of all time! here are just a few: We want the finest wines available to humanity! We want them here and we want them now!, I feel like a pig shat in my head, I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of
the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the
cosmos, and transmit them directly into you brain! This is the reason
bald-headed men are uptight. These lines make the movie just That
more hilarious and overall a better movie. I really suggest that you
watch this film, British or not, for it is one of the best movies of
the 70s, 80s and 90s put together. well that's just my opinion you go watch it for yourself and leave a comment and a share ( or don't I don't care...) but i give this cinematographic film a 10/10Saturday, 25 April 2015

Omega Man
The film is about how no matter what if you try hard enough ,even if you are tipping over into the brink of insanity, you will be able to do it. this shows perfectly into this movie because all this broken man wants to do is have his fellow people back, no matter how he achieves this, the 'mad as a box of frogs' man will do it somehow even if he dies trying. To be perfectly honest I love the original omega man, not will smiths remake: I am Legend... oh you didn't know that it was a remake? and a not very good one at that either. your probably looking this and thinking over the plot of I am Legend. yes a lot of that movie was setting traps and other such things for the monsters. but in The Omega Man the 'monsters' aren't like traditional zombies like in I Am legend, they're like cultists despising the technology that brought about the end of the world. but again unlike I Am Legend, the main character is hassled by these 'monsters' for being the last memorabilia about the past and how he is different to the 'monsters'. This forces them to set traps for him!!! which is just awesome. Some of the most interesting and thought provoking parts of the film is where you can see that the omega man is caught up in a world of his own creation, an escape from the terrible world outside, and then he sees a dead body... The look of disgust on his face, the sudden plummet back into his hopeless situation and the sudden realisation that whoever he was supposedly talking to, is now long gone or never existed in the first place. And there is one amazing scene where Charlton thinks he can here phones ringing all around him and this shows what kind of state of mind he is in at this scene.
