Movie Reviews of Late Bloomer
Movie Review: An extraordinary uncomfortable film
Summary: 5 Stars
Late Bloomer, is a film that many people have described as being interesting, but not for everyone. I'd agree to that full heartedly. But, what I'd add is for the people that enjoy films that respect the actors in allowing them to explore a fantasy. Here, is a film about a handicap man (who is truly handicap) going on a killing spree. It's also a film about taking a person that most people in the world would consider to be helpless and in away empowering him to take charge. He gets to be just one of the guys. It happens that one of the guys is a mass murder, but it's his way it helps him let out his anger towards the world and join society.
When I first picked up this film I was interested, because the idea of a person in a wheelchair killing people sounded funny. But, by the end of the film I wasn't laughing, but completely fascinated by this character and what he had become in a society that sees him as nothing, but a wheelchair.
In the end I give this film a full 5 stars, after watching this film, I can't stop thinking about and it's been 3 month since I've seen it. It's a good slow film that explores the relationship between a handicap person and their environment.
Also, if you are interest in film on the subject of handicap people that are done extremely well check out "Oasis" a South Korea masterpiece. One of the most depressing and beautiful films I've ever seen.
