Movie Review: Apparently it's deep to find beauty in Hustler
Summary: 1 Stars
I will start out with something positive: This was a very pretty film. Other than that, it has nothing to offer. The first mistake would be the idea that the self absorbed art student full of ennui makes a sensitive and deep protagonist. I find the fact that he believes that, as an artist, he "explores" the idea of beauty to be both hilarious and offensive when really all he does is look at T&A (that all conform to very standard ideals of beauty) for an hour and a half. His narration is at times painfully dull and and at others laughably bad in its attempt to be profound. It is just generally lazy writing: anyone who has gone past writing 101 will tell you that showing is always better than telling, and a movie full of exposition leads the viewer to feel no connection with any of the characters. There were also attempts at "humor" that were so badly paced and cliche that they are barely worth mentioning. I also was questioning whether or not his "power" to stop time was real throughout, and in the end it seems that it may have been. If it was, then the fact that he is literally going around and undressing women without their consent takes his character from harmless self indulgent angst to someone who commits sexual assault. Seeing as the women in this film are already merely props and catalysts for this character, I would not say I'm surprised, but I do find it morally repugnant. I mean, honestly, this is a movie that describes love as "wrapped in beauty and hidden away between the seconds of your life." That sounds like something Michael Scott would write. Ultimately, that's what this movie is: abstractions that don't mean anything thrown in between nude images of random women.
Also, if I was Sharon and showed up to that show at the end, I would have run away very far very fast. Creeptastic. And not actually all that good.
