Review of Hesher (2010) by Ryan W — 15 Oct 2011
Wow....
What a hell of a ride. Throughout the whole movie, I'm sitting there trying to figure out the character, "Hesher" and you no what I came up with? Not a damn thing. But maybe that's what makes Hesher so great, what makes him what he is, what makes him so fucking interesting. He's unpredictable, you never know what the hell he's going to do next. Played amazingly by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hesher is one of the most rememberable characters in movie history, by far.
The movie itself mixes with a dark comedy feel, that can some times become quite strange and depressing. You'll sit there trying to figure out what the moral of this movie is, what message it's trying to get out. This can become hard to understand. But if you sit there and think of it for a while, you might just figure out it's about life, in a very strange, crude, dramatic, depressing, fucked up kind of a way.
"Life is like walking in the rain, you can run and take cover, or you can just get wet.".
Thumbs up for originality, great performances from all cast members, and one hell of a crazy character that will never leave my mind. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
