“Through the fluid identification of the viewer, The Ice Storm subjugates order and chaos.”
“The Ice Storm deconstructs nativist arguments of the early-twentieth century through its collapsing of identity and whiteness.”
“The Ice Storm questions shared fears of the post-Columbine epoch through its poetic use of tableaux.”
“The frequent use of long takes in The Ice Storm reminds the spectator of suburban notions of containment.”
hahaha That one is actually kind of accurate.
“The Ice Storm exposes the disavowal of the female lack through its strategic use of narrative ellipses.”
The Ice Storm has a hobbit.
The Ice Storm contains some very nice pictures of natural beauty and grace.
Swinters – well, yes, but it also has “strategic use of narrative ellipses.” Add your own comments here.
“The subversion of the male gaze in The Ice Storm delegitimizes passive and active gaze.”
Erik – hahahaha It is so hard to believe that in certain circles this is actually acceptable writing.

It is RIDICULOUS. Totally absurd!
