it's clearly a celebration of right wing christian family values. when
the crusaders attacked jerusalem, when the americans attacked iraq,
when napoleon attacked the germans, when the british conquered an
empire, when nike outsourced, they 'did it because they could', like
the guy says at the end about the cruel-card ironies he's dealt.

(1) A group of bozos on a city street agree to join an social
experiment.

(2) Subjects (bozos) are divided into groups on basis of trivial
criteria like flipping a coin to deterimine if one is in Group X or
Group Y.

(3) Subjects do not interact, either within or between groups.

(4) Members of own group and other group remain anonymous.

(5) Subjects are then asked to allot money to two other subjects,
designated only by code number and group membership (X or Y). Subjects
own outcomes will not be affected by their allocation decisions.

(6) Despite minimal nature of these groups, subjects allocations
consistently favored other members of their own arbitrarily designated
groups, at the expense of members of the recently typed "outgroups".

re: meaning of film

For subjective interpretation, according to the artist himself in this
SONY PICTURES publicity interview

"rightwing Christian" as does "liberal Christian" covers mucho religio-
politico-socio landscapeo

According to WIKI, the meister is a graduate of Brigham Young where
the "$25,000" film was made, and acclaimed at Redford's secular
Sundance alternative & underground exposition

Political irony: Mormonism is not universally accepted in the U.S. as
"Christianity," as, for instance, the Reublicans are hesitant to vote
the accomplished Governor Romney onto their national ticket for fear
of alienating (some) "rightwing Christians."

I did not see it, though I've got the "alternative movie" cable tv
channel: I do not regularly watch
that channel, and I should: I've only seen one or two movies on it, so
I've missed a helluvalot of good (and bad) unusual stuff.

get through Funny Face as I'd see it as an existential alienation
allegory...
