Review of The Machinist (2004) by Mrpajamas — 08 May 2021
The Machinist is a mysterious film and in my eyes a very good film. We follow the life of Trevor Reznik, who I have to work with machines, and he doesn't seem to like the job. So you can feel that aversion to it, but at the same time he knows that he has to do the job.
I do not know how to describe it. I liked the atmosphere in this film, which was underlined by Christian Bale, who plays the main character here. Absolutely phenomenal figure, emaciated to the bone. Bale really went crazy here, but on the other hand, he probably did what he wanted to do, to create a quality mysterious film that gets to a completely different level after an unnamed bald man appears, but I won't spoil it anymore.
Overall, the film is mysterious and so mysterious, but after watching it is quite clear how it is, even if it is not and you have to think about it, or find an explanation on the Internet. For me, a good film that I recommend.
