The characters that were constantly yelling are studied and eventually the characters that recorded those conversations are recorded and examined. This is not a film that set out to change the world or to save the Rain Forest. Even when the morality of their recordings is being discussed, comic overtones find a place. This film is edited very well with lots of great and comedic audio and visual treatments. What started out as somewhat of a Jackass meets Prank Yankers ends up becoming a question of morality, profit and guilt. All based off "illegal?" recordings of people's private lives. Hollywood producers began vying for movie rights and playwrights were producing plays. A moral and legal dilema is presented as the two guys that recorded the conversations were now making money off the tapes. This is where Shut Up Little Man actually begins to have heart. The subjects did not know they were being recorded so the listeners were listening in to private conversations that were never meant to be heard by others. The recordings of the conversations are funny. With the aid of a lot of vodka, the two loud neighbors seemed to only communicate through a viscous barrage of cussing and degrading comments. Yelling occurred with little thought to sentence structure or even meaning. What endeared these tapes was the nature of the conversations. People made copies of the tapes and kept sharing them with others.
What resulted was a viral spread much like what is seen online today. What do you do when your neighbors are loudmouths? You stick a microphone next to their window and record their crazy conversations.Īfter months of recording these yelling matches, the two guys that recorded the conversations began to share the cassette tapes of the conversations with others. Many times they were woken up by the yelling going on at the apartment next door. With paper thin walls, the two other guys could not help but hear all of this "conversation". The two loud guys were always yelling, cussing and basically communicating at the top of their lungs, especially after midnight.
At its core, Shut Up Little Man! is about two guys that had two very loud neighbors in San Francisco back in 1987. What a ride! This film is funny and thought provoking at the same time.
