Algiers Review

note; I never saw this b4. but I hear its good. still gonna spell bad though

Algiers

yhis is my review on Algiers (1938 ver)

its based on a book pepe le moko about some Frenchie or something

I hear it inspired pepe le pew from looney toons

the french skunk who tries to mo lest cats

well... he IS French lol

its from director of caged, a women in prison movie

ooh  also did anna and the king of siam

now i'm interested

it stars Charles boy er from gaslight who later suicided

and (dynamite ) heddy lamarr who was an inventor from Austria

so after some credits dat include Charles d brown (Charlie brown?!) we get text

in the casbah, a place between Europe and Africa) crooks and scum live

1 guy named pepe le moko is hunted by the French cops for jackng a buncha jewels

the cops arrive and ant a house to house search

in America we hav laws against dat

but the French are unamerican

maybe saving them from zee Kaiser wasn't da best idea

a guy describes the casbah as a packed slum of multiculturalism

and its built so anyone can go anywhere w/o using da street

and pepe is there

1 guy in a hat comes in and sez he sees pepe every day

and is learning of him

later pepe is getting a pearl

btw I think moko is Japanese for mongol

like in Hokuto no ken how Uyghur the warden of Cassandra's best move is; moko hyakyoku do!

pepe, who imma call moko now as its easier to type, talks with his homies

later the cops come and everyone scatters

1 guy is grabbed b da neck and interrogated and gives a guy a note that sez grand pear, a stolen good buyer

if cops did that in America they'd be lynched by the malcontent media and their drones

btw; grand pear sounds like a title in a  fruit version of the klan

grabbed guy named regis tells a chick the cops r after moko

so the chick warns moko but the cops surround their place

then open fire through the walls w/o any heat vision camera to see whos in it

moko talks with chick over if she told anyone but she sez no

grand pear gets em out and the cops bust in to an empty room

mko gives chick a ring but its too big

so she wants to get fat for it to fit

moko likes fat chicks

also; you'll grow into it

so guys run and cops chase and open fire

as this happens, heady is out and hat guy saves her

hat guy sez hes a cop to her

then moko comes in and checks out headdys jewels and looks

good camera work

like a silent film

hat works with moko

and they hall have a smoke as its da 30s

in the 90s they'd have mcdonalds

or having beers

moko goes and hat tells heady he weoite the date of mokos arrest on his wall

and moko's gonna bite it

later a cop sez in last nights thing, they capped moko and he might bite it

but he's guys just blowing smoke out his a55

regis sez they can get moko's homies to get moko

he wants to arrest a guy and keep it secret so when moko comes looking, they gon get him

later moko and hat are out for a walk

hat sez heady is into him

and later heady talks to and the chick comes back to chat

she likes the casbah but he cant stand it

and he wants to go back to soviet france

she starts going mental on him then cries

well, women do go nuts often when triggered

later a female comes in saying his homie pee ay row is missing

so moko goes to see regis

I think he drugs regis or something and his homies suggest shaving him

moko is onto regis and regis freaks out

the homies play cards with him until they can get back pee ay row

later moko chats with heady and they smoke

they dance and chat and find they are both from the same place

then she has to go but he makes her say please like some kind of sociopath

oh and he wants to meet her tomorrow

they find pee ay row and moko talks with the chick who I think is getting jealous

pee ay row comes in with a gun at regis and blacks out

but still caps him

its sorta like a horror movie

and regis hits a player piano and it plays cheerful music

I think pee ay row bit it

layer moko feels bummed about his homie going to h-ll

1 of his homies goes on a tirade

and moko is starting to get p-ssed by being in the casbah

grand pear sez mokos going to a trap and  Mokpo don't care

he runs out and chick stops him saying heady is waiting for him at his old house

but she reveals she did something to keep him in the casbah as he wouldn't stay for her

they mellow out and get along

moko goes and sez bye to heady

she wont come back to meet him buit he sez he wont leave da casbah

later he tells someone he wants to meet tomorrow at 5

one of his homies asks what moko was doing in some place

he sez he was in paris

I think he means in bed

later moko is singing some half French half normal song

so hat outs heady that moko is b0ning her to her future husband

husband future grills heady and forbids her from going to the casbah to b0ne pee le moko

and if she goes she might as well not back

hat tells her he's trying to save her from what will happen

moko's homie is going somewhere and sez he'd be back in 2 hours

but doesn't

then its 9 am

wtf theres a fat chick here

they call her tania in the captions

for a sec I thought it was the chick who wanted to get fat for the ring

turns out the homie got caught by da cops

the guy who told him also sez he didn't take the caught homies cash and might know heady

and he saw the ash taken from homie put in a drawer 

moko reveals he didn't give his homie cash and the teller is lying

moko grabs him and forces him to tell da truth

the husband told heady moko bit it

and both are going out today

I gotta say

1st; they try to make the guy this 5kank is cheeting on her future husband with look sympathetic

2nd; he's a thief and outlaw

yet he's the good guy

and people hate violence jack cuz he chopps up kids being held hostage to get the killer holding em

the chick tries to stop moko from going to see the heady

wait

he's cheeting on the chick too!

this guys an animal!

but moko goes after heady anyway

chick reveals to hat she'd rather moko bites it than goes with someone else

and shes betrayed him

crazy b--ch!

theres so much wrong with that I don't know where to start

Momoko finds heady and future husband in a bar and the cops get moko

wait

its hat

moko sez "not here" and they move a few steps own and cuff his a55

oh he was on a boat looking in the bar

moko wants to stay til the boat goes

he looks out the bars in handcuffs in a good silent film looking scene

heady looks out and as moko calls her name, the boat blows its horn

he runs after her but a cop caps him

hat sez; sorry, my cop thought u were gonna escape

he sez he has, and bites it

then we see the boat is too far away to see human faces on or from t

the end

well

I kinda thought it was ok

not super great

but good atmosphere

good feel

good camera work

good visuals

I think moko was supposed to be like arsene lupin

the characters do scummy things like cheeting on eachother like springer guests

but the movie is well and has good pacing

I like how the women going mental over some guy she's gay for wasn't shown as right

nowadays she's be seen as a victim instead of a nut

cant have evil chicks vs good guys anymore

look at how they made the Disney film about sleeping beauty revisioned as the black magic chick as the hero

what next?

gacy; America's hero ??!!

for Algiers 2 I want for pepe le moko to wake up but hooked up to primitive machines to keep him alive. his cop friend in the hat has faked him being dead with a pressure point when he was holding him as he felt bad about hi man capping him. he snuck him away and uses what machines he can get there to keep him alive as he recovers. moko wants to go out after the heady girl but don't wanna wait until he's healed so hat homie snaps his arms and legs to keep him there. the rest of the movie is him using his esp powers to astral project on a journey to find his gf heady and going through fighting astral daemons that want his soul. its also a 16 bit game on sega genesis and snes and Atari jaguar and sega cd where he goes around soul places trying to find items that let him find heady and trying to avoid astral daemons and fighting them in soul battles with soul ki blasts.
