Jason Friedberg e Aaron Seltzer
Alcuni recensori dei quotidiani – di quelli che disprezzano i film di vampiri, e non distinguerebbero un vampiro dall'altro nemmeno se spuntasse in camera loro e gli mordesse il sedere – hanno scritto che “Mordimi” è una parodia dei film vampireschi recenti. Per niente: non dico che non sarebbe affascinante mescolare nel calderone “Twilight” e “Lasciami entrare” e “30 giorni di buio” e “Blade” e “Daybreakers” eccetera per tirarne fuori uno “Scary Movie” coi sharp canines, but "Bite me" is not that. It 's a very timely parody of the saga "Twilight," which carefully builds the first film and the second part of the second (funny change of names, with Bella Swan becomes Becca Crane and Cullen, who become Sullen). Sure, he allows himself a few fleeting references to other mythologies bloodsucker (gag-a vision of Buffy, two vampires who drink Trueblood, the "Vampire Diaries" by LJ Smith used at school as a textbook), but for that also in Alice in Wonderland and Lady Gaga, based on that collection that befits a rambling parody. This narrow concept of remaking
strengthens the principle of "philology" hidden in every parody. Think of the ease with which the film narrative changed from "Twilight" at the end of "New Moon" (single measure, which is transforming the Italian Festival of the Volturi in a masked ball at the school of Becca), while the first part of "New Moon" - the silliest of the entire saga - is reduced to a gag. This has the effect to highlight an important element of the work parodied: precisely that of "Twilight" and the second part of "New Moon" there is nothing. Similarly, the parody shamelessly brings to the fore a couple of hidden truth that the original saga (with little success) under the veil of dramatic development: The first is that Bella's father, a policeman, not - as said - the brightest minds in the country and the second is that Bella is the same kind of pain in the ass nose that can find love with a handsome local history only romantic artifact, designed for a teenage audience. The beauty of the parody is not to transform the text closely parodied as to reveal the hidden meaning: it is a parody (concept metaphor!) Filter that reveals the secret of Mr. Hyde from Dr. Jekyll, which is placed the original work.
The funny thing is that the true vampires of the situation are the directors and screenwriters Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer, two predators who are in lurking in Hollywood to jump on any success and bowls a demented comic version, from "Scary Movie" to "Epic Movie", from "Disaster Movie" to "Treciento. There is in "Bite me" ("Vampires Suck") the whole panoply of jokes and gags, even metacinematografiche, which previously was lucky enough to Mel Brooks and today, but at a much lower level, provide for the production of the two. Many are small, some are well thought out: Jacob shows that the contract for which is to appear naked to the waist every ten minutes (and, by good luck, has ten nipples), Becca and her friend with crowds that go to the cinema to see short-circuit the (futuro!) "Breaking Dawn" and reveal the ending to the audience, and then goes just mentioned Daro, the head of the Volturi, played by Ken Jeong, who with his facial expression seems Alvaro Vitali Asia.
The downside is that distributors, conscious of having to sell a product only moderately amusing, ably extracted from the movie almost all the best gags pile up in the trailer: so that it becomes an anthology, not so much as a preview of the film a veritable "best of". Thus the experience of seeing "Bite me" for the first time is confused with the bizarre impression of him again - and not a film so funny that it is necessary twice.
