Going Places (1974)

3.5/5 for me. This is an interesting diversion. I like films that shock the senses. I like controversy. Movies about people behaving badly. I like Gerard Depardieu. I was the target audience. Although not a masterpiece, this worked for me.

I know some people on this site will give this 1 star without seeing it because it sounds ‘morally reprehensible’ and they don’t want you viewing it. I see it all the time when new movies are posted here with links. Those same people will downgrade this comment so it ends up in negative territory. I fully expect it. They don’t like to be exposed for what they are.

Japanese, Chinese, Gay, Religious and African American movies always get slammed by some without seeing them as well. And, of course, political ones. I enjoy reading the descriptions of different movies and link up a lot of them (I like bringing movie joy to people) so I spend a lot of time here and am in a position to observe this. Maybe it is just one judgmental loser most of the time. It is so obvious though. Right down the line right away with the one star ratings. Makes me want to give them 5 stars right away but I don’t.

I saw this though my library system on Kanopy. Some great movies on there for free that are hard to find.
