"Do not Panic"
A film that in some ways reminded me of the Monty Python lot, perhaps because it is a British film with British actors and that makes comedy English. The common thread is there and you can see, however, many elements of pastiche to the tragicomic "And Now For Something Completely different" stand out. The story is booming, comic, hyperbolic and extravagant. Starring a young Englishman (Arthur Dent) who discovers abbandondare having their homes threatened by bulldozers. On that piece of land will pass a highway. Before long he discovers that his best friend is a Aliento coming from a planet near Betelgeuse and that the earth will be destroyed within a very short, to make way for a galactic highway. Ford Prefect, his friend, saves the lives thereby starting an adventure to say the least surprising that it unravels the secrets of the universe, human stupidity (universal) and the smallness of creation. The scenes are often funny and carnivals, often characterized by a nonsense humor ("thanks for the fish") bring attention to a fantasy level / sidereal and terrestrial environmental history over the entire universe. The endless bureaucracy, claiming to know everything and desolation (the poor Marvin teaches), trapped by the play of power, lust for glory and curiosity without limits. Vices and virtues of human beings willing to emphasize the fragility in the face to himself and to nature, reading the claims of race in a comic surreal. Brilliant and beautiful, look at it again ... oh and 42!
