A man starts shaving and finds himself unable to stop with nasty consequences. The supposed allegory for the Vietnam war? Bah, ignore it. This film is far better for its quite visceral impact and its downright disturbing images. I will resist the temptation to say "It's bloody good" ;-)

Esse é um material poderoso, Scorsese faz uma analogia a guerra do Vietnam de forma perfeita! Mais do que recomendável...

There are things you can't fix because it's already done, so if you try , you get the opposite.

The concept's kind of simplistic, and there are a couple of triple repeating shots that don't work for me (see: the man taking his shirt off), but Scorsese's brilliant flair for visuals and violence are apparent even this early in his career.

Hilarious!!! I laughed my head off during the last minute! Of course, it's a bit disgusting in the middle. Well, whatever. Oh, and, by the way, great camera work and fantastic music.

You'd have to be psychic to guess that the director of this pretentious and thoroughly unpleasant movie would one day be regarded as one of America's best

It may have been envisioned as a metaphor for the Vietnam War, but it works as a metaphor for any "if it ain't broken don't fix it, and at the very least don't continue trying to fix it long after it stops being necessary" type of situation.

The Big Shave works best if viewed not as specifically allegorical but as an open metaphor meditating on the danger of inertia, of how easily any thoughtless routine can veer unnoticed into catastrophe.

Starts off mundane and then suddenly hits you with a surprise. I don't think it works as a metaphor and I don't particularly like the visceral aspect of it, but it gets points genuinely surprising me.

Interesting look at the Vietnam War and the beginning of an incredibly talented film director's career. Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g5Y_RUDUE0

I don't know how well the Vietnam war allegory works out or holds up, but I do know that the thought of cutting myself with a razor makes me cringe every time and that this is a very well made and interesting short.
