Chapter 27

Many who have seen this movie give it low marks. I think they have the subject confused with the quality of the product. This is a very good movie about a very pathetic person. It is not a pathetic movie. It IS creepy but not in the typical horror story sense. To me, it is creepier to think that there are perhaps thousands of people just like this guy wandering our cities at any given time.

This story is billed as a crime drama. It is clearly not a thriller because we all know how it ends. It is more autobiographical than anything. The main character himself does a chilling narration. The supporting characters are almost as sad as Chapman.

Jared Leto completely transforms into Chapman here. His performance is amazing.

This movie is only difficult to watch because the audience may feel uncomfortable in such close company with such a disturbed individual. That in itself is a testament to how well this movie was done. We feel as if we are right next to this guy during the whole show. His haunting narration gets into our head. Very well done indeed.

Watch this movie with someone remembers John Lennon and the Beatles.
