Rocker criticizes the critics of the box office flop, “None of the reviews I have read describe this film adequately, in my opinion. They seem to miss the overall effect”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tDigger<\/em><\/a> might be a box office flop that split critics, but it has an unlikely fan in Neil Young<\/a>, who proclaimed the Tom Cruise<\/a>-starring movie as \u201cthe best film I have ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYoung shared his opinion of Digger<\/em> last week in the Letters\/Artists\/Bandstand section<\/a> of his Neil Young Archives Times-Contrarian<\/em> newspaper. While the film has risen to 53 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, Young criticized the critics for missing the point of the Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rrit film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNone of the reviews I have read describe this film adequately, in my opinion. They seem to miss the overall effect and most of them are negative,\u201d Young wrote. \u201cThis film lives in a world of art. It is its own best review. Don\u2019t read any other reviews and forget this one before you see Digger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rocker continued, \u201cI would describe it as a film of our times. Tom Cruise is the actor playing the main character. I do not view this film as a commercial venture. Rather it is an artful film of our times. The things that are said in Digger<\/em> are a direct reflection of today\u2019s political and social world. The film is so full of artful expression and radical change-ups, that it may be too much to take in for those expecting a commercial film like we are used to today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo weeks after its theatrical release, Digger<\/em> has grossed roughly $38 million worldwide; Variety<\/em> reported that the film would need to gross $350 million just to break even; as Young notes, Digger<\/em> was the last film released by Warner Bros. before it was merged with Paramount. \u201cAs such, it is a great example of our times,\u201d Young wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the film trending toward becoming one of the biggest box office disasters in recent film history, some in Hollywood \u2014 including Jane Fonda, Guillermo Del Toro, and Cruise\u2019s Days of Thunder 2<\/em> co-star Anne Hathaway \u2014 have thrown their support behind the film<\/a>, but Young is perhaps Digger<\/em>\u2019s biggest champion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is today\u2019s world of politics and commercial overload. A must see for those frustrated by the lack of genuine engagement present in much, if not all, of today\u2019s offerings,\u201d Young continued. \u201cDigger<\/em> is not to be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
