Review of Hello Herman (2012) by Hunt K — 06 Mar 2013
Herman, a 16 years old teenager, from a middle class family, was proclaimed as "strange" by all his classmates because he was reserved and shy. He was, therefore, the perfect victim for all sorts of intimidation and bullying. Is that the reason why he committed the unthinkable? Or because his father left, his mother worked too much to pay the bills and his little sister died accidently? Does he play too much video game?
The truth is that this sort of situations could concern everybody and one day, you could be a part of the Karpman's drama triangle: the persecutor, the rescuer or the victim. But in this movie would you recognize each role of each character?
You will see that is not so easy because each character fit each role, the victim will become the persecutor and the persecutor the victim so how will you feel about this situation?
This mixture of feelings is highly used by the director of the movie Michelle Danner who tends to raise strong questions about ourselves and what we are capable to do.
