Snow Arrives!  This morning I woke up and watched American Splendor. I had rented it last night but waited till today to actually watch it. I was originally wanting to rent Lost in Translation but they were out at Hollywood. American Splendor: While not anything that made me think "Wow, this is great" I did enjoy it while I lay tucked under the blankets waiting for it to start snowing. Its a story that really tackles the ugly feelings of bitter loneliness and what that does to a person's mental processes. The movie features Paul Giamatti who plays Harvey Pekar, as well as Harvey as himself. Its a bit odd to see the contrast of the portrayed Harvey with the real person. It does steal a little bit of the believability of the movie. The real Harvey has less of an aura of doom and gloom than the movie version. But that just may be the effect of time on the man. Overall I would suggest that you go out and pick it up if you like movies about quirky people living in a quirky world. I felt a little betrayed that everything "worked out" but relieved that it didn't go overboard. Things just go "good enough" for Harvey. And I think that's all he was shooting for. | |
