The film is started from a few seconds and you already know where it going to end, even if you do not know the plot. Three teens (two boys and a girl) the day of graduation. They talk as they walk the various projects of the post. They arrive at the high school, posing for a photo. Taken. It is fixed on the screen for a few seconds. Music a bit 'left in the background. Credits. Then the message "Six months later". It is not hard to guess what will happen in the following 90 minutes. E 'useless to send her to say, there had not acted this film Rob would never, ever gone to seek, in part because it's the late '80s (Or when you were a genius, or at all), partly because they are more or less always the same variations on the theme "What happens when you need to become great." In short, it's bullshit , unless you know how to tell really well. And Mr. director has not done so. But the film is just Rob, who plays the role more difficult, messy and real film, and that alone takes up the whole plot (the other two actors have the expressiveness of a wax figure). In the world of cinema is said that a great actor is distinguished by its ability to make it memorable every role she plays, even the most trivial in a mediocre film. As in this case.
You know the song 883, You Return? It looks like this:
The night is my wake All
thoughts slip away And even though
I must leave you
Remember, I love you
You know the song 883, You Return? It looks like this:
Do you remember that summer, running even though it was raining? They tried a bit 'all, what is not told, we had fun with the nonsense. This small district, there seemed immense. Then the streets gradually gave us away, and the reason seems strange, I can not even say, only you could see some time with those others around you who told me "A few nights go on to find"happens in the film pretty much the same thing, only in the space of six months, one of the three leaves in a college of the East, the other two remaining life are messing with drugs (and Julian, the character who plays Rob, even with large payables loans never repaid), and when Clay comes home for the Christmas holidays, is the utter mess and want to pick up and leave right away (and this will be the sub theme of the entire film). The plot is not much else to say, what happens is easily understood. However, if I'm standing here at a quarter to 5 to write there must be a reason, and is easily understood. I write about it because it upset me, despite my trained eye can not help but notice the lack of artistic direction generally. It may seem a paradox, or an exaggeration due to the fact that we recite Rob, but it is not. I see a hundred films a year, the space between genres, directors, actors, locations and ages. With such a step, only a few moments, the sequences that remain fixed in your mind and you will know that there unrivet impossible, for a variety of reasons, mental and emotional. And not only I say, there are dozens of critics and experts that have demonstrated. Because in the end the film are made more or less a large majority all the same way, and then you go to find the detail, detail, something that makes that particular magic moment, real, pure. It is not often, not always happens even in a certain way. Sometimes it is a look, others short, others a gesture. It can be a full performance or just a single moment. What matters is that, sometimes, it happens. Even in mediocre films like questo.Nella present case, Less Than Zero took me like a vice stomach interpretation of Rob (and no, has nothing to do I was predisposed to his character), which is so visceral, so pressing to reduce you almost stepped on a cloth, which is nothing less than what happens to her character on the screen. He made a mistake (caxxo, eighteen years who did not commit?), Has had to face alone, and made another, the father has thrown out, is full of debt and drugs, is alone and spends his nights on a bench in the park. Those who threaten it owes money. Attempts to react but, again, the rest of the world slams the door in his face. Is being blackmailed. It 'a little more than a doormat. He misses his two friends, who apart from some rare turn take their own business (and each other). It 's only. He smokes. He took refuge on a cliff overlooking the ocean and he stands there staring at the Pacific. When Clay is talking to him a moment, then turns around and makes him "I gotta go." Julian replies: "Always leaving, you!", But with a smile, as if to say "I understand." Just what the others are not with him, never willing to do so. He remains there to watch the sea. It 's probably be the most docile of the earth. This would be enough to make it clear why I did Julian the effect just described. The reason is simple, and is also the most banal that we can be. I identify myself in him, in all respects. Of course, I have a drug problem nor debt, can not sleep on the street and I live at home with my parents. But this is only the surface, it is only evidence of the character. Its essence, its peculiar feature, the clothes are a bit 'extra-large door that, in broken sentences that others do not ever end up saying, in solitude, tears hidden from the world, in typical wry smile who wants to laugh more often, just do not give him the chance; is restlessness, the desire, at times, to drop everything, lost in the continuing challenges to show others his kindness, his good intentions, despite often being exploited. Those are the true characteristics of Julian. The my features. That's why this film has upset me. Nothing more, nothing less . Although it seems heresy to say this is what Julian has the clearest vision of all life. It would take a share to make it clear, but Rob does not talk much in the film, let it be in his gestures, his looks. So I leave you with one of his screen-shot, and a phrase from the song as the credits run.
thoughts slip away And even though
I must leave you
Remember, I love you
