Customer Reviews
White subtitles on a white background????
White subtitles on a white background????? What were they THINKING!!!! How stupid do you have to be not to notice this??? Did the person who added the subtitles actually WATCH the movie after he subtitled it!!???? This is so stupid. I want my $2 back.
White on white?
People may correct me if I'm missing something about the subtitles, but for almost the whole movie the white subtitles lay against a white background making it nearly impossible to read them. How could this be completely ignored? It was impossible to judge the film on its own merit because I couldn't tell what was happening. This review says nothing of the actual film. It's more about iTunes cheating me out of $2.
THE PIG - Simplistic refreshment
I just finished watching THE PIG at my local indie movie house and I must say, of the 6 films I watched it was the most refreshingly simple yet powerful short film of them all. The others were excellent in their own right, but I just found myself drawn into the characters and scenarios in this film immediately. And I was passionately involved with the main character and his plight for justice. This all sounds very lofty when talking about a PIG, but if you watch the film I'm sure you will agree that is engadging from start to finish. Excellent job by the filmmakers and I would highly recommend watching it. best, Jeremy
