Review of Chappie (2015) by Jazzagenomad — 08 Mar 2015
I am a twenty-year-old male cinephile. Films like "Life is Beautiful" and "All Quiet on the Western Front" have brought a tear to my eye, but "Chappie" is the first movie to ever make me break down and cry.
It's a truly brilliant film; even its action sequences affirm the humanity of the movie's title character. Its refreshing, idealistic (and ultimately proper) view of human nature is something we sorely need in an era where nihilism dominates our culture.
It's a hopeful film and a wonderful one. It's also brilliantly written, acted, and shot. Don't believe the critics on this one. The cerebral could broadside them with a club and they'd still cast their bids for Oscar-bait trash.
"Chappie" is a magnificent exploration on what it means to grow as a human person. If you've even an inkling of hope or creativity in you, then this movie is for you.
