Review of Eban and Charley (2000) by Nathan D — 17 Aug 2010

I found out what Mr. Bean has been up to... Eban looks a lot like him.

My opinion... the older guy was a bit creepy how he seemed to stalk him and had other pictures of his presumed students. Its interesting how when a 30 year old and a 45 year old are together its not such a big deal...

Yet when someone is in a position of influence with someone else... relationships are not acceptable - other than my initial thoughts I think things progressed like in any other relationship really.

To add a personal twist on this - I am married to someone 7 years my senior and adopted someone 15 years my younger... he's 11 now and I'm 26. I found this movie creepy on that fact alone - so I'm not the best judge. My mom dated (she would be 46 now) someone who was a year younger than me actually for a time before she died - also a bit odd. For me if I was single the youngest I would date is 18 (who was mature enough to live on their own and out of school) the oldest 40.

The movie though was dry - and would be better suited for a philosophy / morals or sexuality class to anaylze it to provoke discussion. Not for its film content.
