The Disaster Artist
James Franco is an excellent actor and, from what we hear,
he is also a very intelligent man.
His work on 127 Hours has been formidable.
For his role in The Disaster Artist he has won the Golden
Globe.
It was for Best Performance of a Leading Actor in a Motion
Picture Comedy of Musical.
Gary Oldman has won the same prize in the Drama Category.
Both artists have a good chance of being nominated for an
Academy Award, one of these days.
Notwithstanding the fact that I appreciate, even admire
James Franco for some of his work- perhaps not The Interview- The Disaster
Artist did not appeal to me.
There are definitely many good moments.
In fact, it is very likely that I am wrong in saying that
this is not a great movie.
The humor is probably too absurd, maybe to subtle for this
viewer to enjoy it.
The Disaster Artist was this man who even showed up on stage
at the Golden Globes and who made an awful film many years ago.
It is based on a real story.
But I think I have been here before with Ed Wood, played by
Johnny Depp.
And besides, there are so many terrible movies these days-
Transformers, Avengers a the like- that the idea of watching a movie about a
bad movie sounds unappealing...to say the least.
The protagonist mumbles. Most of the time, I do not like
what I hear.
He keeps his age an absolute secret, like he is a prima
Donna.
And he actually is, very often acting like one.
But without the talent, the charisma, the singing ability.
When pressed, this anti hero says:
I am the same age as you
However, the interlocutor, played by the brother of James
Franco, is about twenty years younger.
There is also another mystery, concerning the origins...
Where are you from?
From the Big Easy man...
But this is another lie, the proof being the accent.
The production made by The Disaster Artist was...
Well, A...Disaster, what else?
But it became a cult movie.
And not just that, we now get to see a major motion picture
about the
Creator of that Disaster...
In many ways, Darkest Hour sounds like a better proposition.
Instead of watching a stupid, often arrogant individual, in
Darkest Hour we can admire one of the greatest men of all time...
Winston Churchill, who was also a...
Disaster Artist, but in the sense that he saved the world
from catastrophe, he did not create one...
