A hilarious "inner realism fantasy movie"!

When I was a child, I often imitated Superman to "stare" at something nasty, trying to "execute" it with his mind! It's been portrayed in books, on TV, and in movies, and I'm sure of it, and I've often accused myself of not having the genes to inherit those great characters. When he grew up and accepted the transformation of Marxist-Leninist materialism, he resolutely spurned the demagogic instigation that "it's not the wind, not the flag, but the heart".

It wasn't until I saw this film that my castrated supernatural delusion was dragged out alive again. The addition of Ewan McGregor, who plays Jada Warrior in the Star Wars prequels, elevates the film's dark humor and irony about "superpowers" to an unspeakable level (needless to say, as a Star Wars mini-know of). This is a ridiculous "inner realism fantasy movie".
Be careful when you go out in the future, be careful someone is staring at you!

    Well, it's too much the same. In the past two years, there are as many such films as Chinese copycats.

    I can't completely get this black humorous point...so I was drowsy in the theater...

The Men Who Stare at Goats quotes

  • Bill Django: [holding daisies while lecturing a room full of Army officers] We are a hollow army, gentlemen. Vietnam has crushed our soul. We have to dream a new America. An America that no longer has an exploitative view of natural resources. No longer promotes consumption at all costs.

    Bill Django: But to achieve this dream, we must become the first Superpower to develop super powers. We must create Warrior Monks. Men and women who can fall in love with everyone. Sense plant auras. Pass through walls. Stop saying mindless clichés and see into the future. I want you to join me in this vision. Be all you can be.

  • Lyn Cassady: [plotting their escape] You relax your body and your voice. And you just rip out one of his eyes. Or you get a pen and you stab him in the neck, you create this... a fountain of blood, I mean a real fountain, get it squirting all over his buddies. That is a psychic disincentive, right there.

    Bob Wilton: We haven't got a pen.
