(No spoilers) Pretty simple and somewhat predictable story, could be summed up in a couple sentences. Ed Norton is fantastic as always, Evan Rachel Wood is always good too. Supporting cast are great actors, but minimally featured, with the focus mostly on the main actors, especially Ed Norton's character. The scenery is beautifully filmed, and the camera work is top notch. For such a simple movie with a small cast, it just works. Definitely worth a watch. One of Ed Norton's lesser known features.
I really enjoy this movie, the acting and cinematography. All of the characters are interesting and believable. The film is slow in the beginning. I enjoy the sound track and the sunny hills and valley. Boy meets girl. Girl have over protected father. It's very simple. That's why I like it so much. It has a twisted feel throughout the entire movie. I noticed that this movie bombed at the box office. I do not understand why? This movie also does not make sense until you get further in. ERW is so off the charts beautiful. So is the main character. There is a shot in the movie that uncovers Norton's shoulder tattoo, if your a music fan from the early 80's its a dead giveaway that the main character is not who he seems to be. I like the ending and the sadness they both feel towards questions unanswered.
When you watch the full movie (I know you wouldn't) you'll suffer from anger and anxiety, because after the first half the things won't go in your way. And during the second half, most probably you'll quit watching the movie or you'll break the screen. I think the director was confused himself, like he started a good story and in the middle he was confused how to end it. So the best way he could find was to let the hero die with the bullet of his girlfriend's father. And the good reason that was given to the father to kill his daughter's boyfriend at the end was the fact that the boyfriend accidentally shot his girlfriend, so the father has to seek revenge or something like that. I don't know what the director wanted to tell the people about Harlan. Was he trying to tell that Harlan was a psychopath or was he trying to tell that Harlan was an ambitious & able guy who made a big mistake and didn't want to or wasn't able to accept it. The director couldn't made that clear. Because he has shown a sudden unpredictable behavior of Harlan, so i considered him a psychopath in the second half of the movie.Although the first half of the movie was really interesting and worth watching. The way that Harlan fell in love with Tobe was fabulous. And later how Harlan tries to convince Tobe's father about his personality and how his fate picturizes him in front of Tobe's father was really an interesting stuff to watch. But later the director wasn't able to handle the story. All the good taste developed in the first half was vanished in the second half.Another confusing thing was that the girl 'Tobe' didn't want to go with her boyfriend when he asks him to leave his father. It's not the thing the she didn't trust him or she was afraid of him. It's not like that because the Director David Jacobson showed a huge amount of passion in their relationship in the first half. And then the sudden unpredictable and stupid act of Harlan made me out of my mind, what i mean is that no matter what happens nobody can shoot the one whom he loves. What kind of heart he has got. These kind of issues in the movie are not explained in a good fashion leaving tangling questions in people's minds.And at last at the ending quarter of the movie, Harlan wasn't ready to accept his mistake so he took a kid (Tobe's step brother) with him. What's the point in that? Such a stupid ending. I would say if David Jacobson had thought about the story in a fresh air and calm environment he would do a lot better.
