Movie Reviews of The Year That Trembled
Movie Review: I have been thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
A very well made independant film!!!!! And two of my favourite subjects rolled into one: Vietnam and Jonathan Brandis!!! Well done!!! I phrase Jonathan Brandis' performance. he was really good. I wish he had been given the oppotunity to take his career forward. I have for the past few months been thinking about Jonathan Brandis and his tragic death. I received news of his death on my birthday. 'What a way to turn 20? finding out that my teen idol who I admired both as a crush, role model and older brother had taken his life.' I thought at the time. 'Is if I didn't have enough issues to deal with.'
It's sad. There have been speculations that he was depressed about his career, if that was the case, I feel if he had just held on and been patient, his time would have come. I have noticed that the peek of most acting careers seems to take place when actors are in their late twenties, early thirties. Look at Matt Damon for example. He was only 27 at the time when he became popular and that was just after Good Will Hunting. I think after the release of the movie that he did with Harvey Keitel might have opened a few doors for him if he had held on.
It's funny. It's been nearly four years since his death, so many great movies have come out and when I focus on a particular character, I always think to myself: 'God, Jonathan Brandis would have been great in that role.'
No offence to the actors who have played these roles, but I think he would have been great as the scarecrow/Jonathan Craine in Batman Begins, Ryan Reynolds' role in Smokin Aces and believe it or not, I feel he would have blowin people away of Thomas Gabriel (The cyber terrorist villain) in Die Hard 4.0. It would have been a huge contrast to his role as Lucas on seaquest. It's weird since I've seen Die Hard 4.0., I have been thinking about Jonathan Brandis.
I always felt he was very good as a villain. He always had that chilling, sadistic and seductive nature as a villain, not to mention he always had that sexy voice. I mean can you remember him in Aladdin and Fall Into Darkness? God that voice of his always brought a chill down my spine.
I still mourn his tragic death. What is worse is that no one will ever know why he did it and what was going through his mind. Something that angers me to this day about his death is that various articles were published quoting that his friends said that Jonathan talked about killing himself, that he was lonely and drank heavily. I feel sorry for his parents, they had enough to deal with losing their son, let alone hearing all that rubbish about him. He was their child for god sake. Whether is true or not I firmly believe you don't say things like that about your friends, especially if they have died under tragic circumstances. My heart goes out to his parents, family and friends. I especially feel for his parents.

It's really creepy, I have just seen Fall Into Darkness, Bad Girls and The Year That Trembled and it seems to me that these films seem to foreshadow his untimely and tragic death, especially when he remarks in The Year That Trembled: 'I could die now.' How's that for irony?
