- Citações
Omer: One and two, three and four, five, hey!
Iqbal Riza: What are you doing?
Omer: Nothing, nothing, I'm just rehearsing some dance steps.
Iqbal Riza: Oh...
Omer: Look Iqbal, I am so sorry...
Iqbal Riza: Stop!I don't want your pity. Does it look like I need pity?
Omer: No, no, no you have far too much dignity.
Iqbal Riza: If these people know nothing about talent there's not much I can do about it, is there? So let's see it. Let's see your dance steps.
Omer: Oh... alright. One and two, three and four.
Iqbal Riza: [Iqbal waves his hand up to Omer for him to stop]
Omer: What?
Iqbal Riza: Oh there's no way you're going to win this thing.
Omer: I know, I fear as much.
Iqbal Riza: [Iqbal sighs and looks him up and down]
[Iqbal takes Omer to his stage]
Iqbal Riza: Get up there, up on the stage.
Omer: Are you sure?
Iqbal Riza: Do it! Before I change my mind. Okay, now this is just a bass track. It's good for practicing moves too.
[Iqbal turns on the stereo]
Omer: Mmm. I don't like this kind of music.
Iqbal Riza: It's just a bass track! It's just for rehearsal!
Omer: Okay...
Iqbal Riza: [Iqbal sighs] Now one problem you have is you move like a reanimated corpse in a zombie movie. Not good, you need to loosen up. Okay, come on, let's go, free form jazz dancing. Right now, immediately.
Omer: Iqbal, why are you helping me? I destroyed your dream.
Iqbal Riza: Yeah, you did, but that was yesterday. Today I turned a page in a new chapter in my life. I'm not sure being a performer was ever what I was really meant for. I'm more of a behind the scenes player, a puppeteer, a svengali if you will. As of today I'm your manager.
- Trilhas sonorasStars and Stripes Forever
Written by John Philip Sousa
Meanwhile, Quaid plays a thinly disguised parody of Bush, as the US president in the middle of a nervous breakdown. His chief of staff (an almost unrecognizable Dafoe) acts as his puppeteer.
Add to the mix two would-be singers and competitors in the show: a female version of Tweed (Moore, as a white trash parody of Britney Spears) and a failure of Muslim terrorist, who loves American musicals.
The result is a movie that satirizes everything: obsession with celebrities; shallowness; white trash; fanatic terrorists; stupid politicians; self-centered TV personalities; the Middle East; the West; etc...
The low rating might indicates that the movie is uncomfortable to watch, rather than amusing - which was my case.
Unfortunately, in the 11 years since the movie was released, the socio-political situation did not improve a bit. The current US president is a worst fool than Bush, terrorism is out of control and celebrity-obsessed youth is shallower than ever. Not much to laugh about.
