MOVIES : 5 easy pieces
This was not the film I thought it was AT ALL! I thought it was this film about a bunch of guys transporting NitroGlycerine across a rain forest in an old truck; a masterpiece of suspense. Instead it was the story of a drifter (Jack Nicholson) who can't find a home in either the blue collar neighbourhoods he lives in at the beginning of the film, or the upper-middle class home he returns to in the second half.
It's a good film considering it doesn't really go anywhere, normally I hate this kind of film but there was something about this one (plus one momentous scene in which Jack actually acts!) that kept my attention and, while I can't bear Jack's character, I still wanted to know if he can overcome his hatred of himself and the world. (The only character that he likes is his sister, everyone else (including himself) he abhors or sees as a potential mate)
I am glad that I mixed this film up, it was well worth seeing
