 Chopper movie review, In Film Australia
A film like ‘Chopper’ cannot afford to take this stance because there is too much to lose and, wisely, Dominik doesn’t treat his viewers like consumer purchasing morons who come to the cinema just to put bums on seats and choctops in hands.
What is uncomfortable about ‘Chopper’ is that its lead character seems like one of us, a _human_, a vulnerable person, and not an American Psycho who kills for spite or fun or because he can.
It may seem as if the universe of Chopper Read is around the wrong way, but that’s only because the film doesn’t tell us which point of view to observe from.

 Chopper (2000): Eric Bana, Simon Lyndon, Kenny Graham, Kate Beaham - PopMatters Film Review
Chopper was a bogeyman-type myth who used wit and sarcasm to become a beloved icon, a hero, regardless of his crimes.

Chopper explained he had parted ways with Diddy and, according to the rapper, Baby quickly offered a spot on the Cash Money roster and put some money in his pocket.
Chopper is currently facing 90 years in prison, according to his lawyer Paul Gardner, for an armed-robbery charge (which also includes two counts of first- and second-degree assault), stemming from an incident in Baltimore in 2001.

 Amazon.com: Chopper: DVD: Eric Bana,Simon Lyndon,David Field,Daniel Wyllie,Bill Young,Vince Colosimo,Kenny Graham ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
Chopper (Eric Bana) is Mark "Chopper" Read, real-life convict and bestselling author of "How to Shoot Friends and Influence People." His story is frightening, savagely funny and twisted.
"Chopper" can't help but deal with the very public side of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read, considering he published a series of smash bestsellers detailing his sordid adventures, but a close examination of the film reveals a very subtle portrait decrying a thug and the society that idolizes them.
A violent film not suitable for the squeamish or small children, "Chopper" nonetheless is an intriguing effort that acknowledges the tendency of society to idolize criminals while ultimately consigning that foolish notion to the ash heap.

 Ritual Implements in Tibetan Buddhism: A Symbolic Appraisal
Here the chopper is the weapon that severs the life veins and vital organs of demonic enemies, and the cup is the oblation vessel in which the blood and organs are collected as the deity's sustenance.
This crescent shaped chopper, held by deities such as Mahakala, corresponds in shape to the cavity of the skull cup and functions to make 'mincemeat' of the hearts, intestines, lungs, and life-veins of enemies hostile to the dharma, which are then collected in the skull cup.
Since the chopper is the instrument for cutting through the fog of ignorance, it represents method, the masculine principle, while the cup symbolizes wisdom, the feminine principle.

 Taking the rap - Music - Entertainment - theage.com.au
But the fact is that Chopper, for all he is mocked for his creative exertions, is accruing an enviable artistic CV - more than 300,000 copies of his novels sold, paintings going for up to $8000 a pop - and the album should consolidate rather than tarnish that reputation.
It may be moot, in that Chopper Read is as impervious to criticism as Ray Martin's hair is to wind, yet Interview With a Madman is not a misguided vanity project but a credible collaboration with more than 30 of Australia's best and brightest hip-hop performers, producers and writers, plus a couple of overseas names.
Chopper raging against Quentin Tarantino for being a "c---sucker" for not knowing how much blood is produced when you cut someone's ears off is a classic.

 Chopper
Nevertheless, Chopper is witty, has a heart when he wants it, and he succeeds at manipulating police and helping them rid the town of the sordid underworld.
However, not Chopper, whose jacket is armed with guns and his head with speed, and who voyages throughout the night from one pub to the other threatening and looking cautiously over his shoulder.
Sadistic characters like Chopper exist in all walks of life and they manifest themselves in various ways; however they are part, or perhaps victims, of society and locking them up only hardens and angers their souls and we must be prepared to confront their needs.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Chopper
Eric Bana stars as "Chopper" Read in a story that follows the events of Read's life from 1978 to 1986, as taken from his autobiographical books (including No Tears for a Tough Guy and How to Shoot Friends and Influence People).
Chopper then cuts to 1986, where Read is out of the joint and working as a rat for the cops, but also trying to re-integrate himself to life in Australia outside of prison.
The lack of subtitles may cause difficulty for some viewers, but on board are two commentary tracks, one by director Dominik, who is informative and has a deep understanding of his material, and the second by "Chopper" Read himself, who seems to go along with most of the events as fact.

 Chopper Tutorial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
Central to using the chopper are its maximum throw, its maximum frequency at a given throw, and its acceleration.
First, the chopper frequency is often determined from the instrument parameters, such as the number of coadds, the frame integration time, etc. Taken together, these instrument parameters define the required chopper frequency.
Because of the large number of chopper keywords and the rather specific "jargon" used with those keywords, observers would not only have to learn what to ask the OA for, but would also have to learn what the proper "buzzwords" are.

Then there's Read's comedy routine with former AFL player Mark "Jacko" Jackson and disgraced NSW detective Roger Rogerson, and the Chopper brand which has lent its name to beer, wine, nuts and a fashion label.
For now his life is pretty crazy as he finishes his latest novel, continues his painting, helps with production on a new Chopper movie, Chopper Read - the Untold Story, and waits to see how the rapper world takes to his new album.
