2022-03-11 14:52:51 +0000 UTCDuring first light, I turn my dial to this absolute 💎 suggestion! My first time watching and I absolutely adored this movie. I've been a big Christian Slater fan for years. Totally dismayed with myself that I had not seen this before. An utter travesty of monumental proportions. Can I call myself a fan? Self-recriminations aside... So Much to dissect, which is difficult to do efficiently on just one viewing. Surprised to see that Christian was in a movie with Samantha Mathis before... •Broken Arrow. Their on-screen chemistry was good in that, but in this, oh my word. I could really relate to Mark's shyness in school. Nora is just the type of person I'd have been drawn to but unable to talk to as a teenager. "Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark." Just about sums up this film for me. Mark wasn't just railing against society for the sake of it, with the usual angst of that generation. It was incredibly sad that Malcolm killed himself. Obviously Mark had his Harry persona that helped him express himself. But that just fell away when he realised that this wasn't just another crank letter and call. He did really try to connect with Malcolm. And you could see it really ate him up inside that he thought he hadn't said the right things. He was just a teenager himself and we did have a school full of defective teachers. Apart from that one good teacher, who I think knew he was Harry. You know the way a good English teacher would from her students writings. Maybe there was more to that goodbye than was perhaps spelled out on screen. Mark was smart enough and brave enough to call out when he saw a problem. This was the only way he felt that he could be heard. He did in fact help to rock that boat and get his dad to affect that needed change. There's definitely an interesting argument for culpability. But I think it's on the kids themselves to be responsible for their own actions. I'm not sure Harry insighted them specifically on half the things they were doing. Only to be heard. Perhaps not always with the words of a more tempered from of expression. But no problem, then no required outlet for his indignant frustrations. 🤷🏻♂️ I agree, this has that perfect ending.... Something like... Walking off across a football field and 👊 pumping the air to a killer song from the 80's. (Wondering if you'll know that film ref.) (Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark... As that quote entered my mind, it made me recall another film.) •Renaissance Man
