Hesher – Second wind after despair
Sometimes you need to retreat into yourself and watch a couple of high-quality and touching films.This movie was "Hesher"
I, as a fan of metal, noticed the cover of this film, it was stylized under the logo of Metallica (and the music of this group was in the film), and it hooked me, because rockers are people with deep souls, and I expected something more than just drama from this film
.Critics have great disagreements about this film: some believe that this film is immoral and is capable of humiliating any vulnerable person, others, on the contrary, believed that it is capable of giving inspiration to even the most despairing person, I am inclined to the second type of critics.
From the very beginning of the film, I was touched by the small, sad boy
Yes, exactly, it was T.J.I thought Primescratchcardscasino.co.uk that the film would be about the difficult and unbearable life of this guy, I thought so until the moment I saw Hesher.Hesher fit into my consciousness as a man who doesn’t care about anyone, lives for his own pleasure, and removes everyone who prevented him from living at full speed.
A guy, a Rocker, who destroyed everything in his path, who has only one packed van, in which he spent most of his time, his guitar (which he sometimes played, although it was not very often in the film) and he had another whim – he loved to burn, and he also often broke into private property and had fun there, although this is not about that now.
The life of TJ’s family went awry after the death of his mother, his father cannot cope with the death of his wife, he spends all his time on the couch, staring at the four available TV channels. He decides to go to a meeting of survivors of the tragedy, which will not help the situation much; this oppressive atmosphere of the film is partly based on him.
Hesher is a strange shaggy dude who declared that he would live with the boy, threatening him with the murder of both him and his family, even though Hesher himself understood that he could not do that. TJ tells his father and grandmother that this is his friend, and that he supposedly came to “wash his clothes,” although in fact, he came there to live. Hesher, more or less pleasantly treated the grandmother of the family – Madeline Forney
Madeline was a sweet and caring elderly woman who really wanted to get her son out of depression, after the death of his wife, she took care of T.J.After Hesher arrived, he also tried to give her every attention, because he understood what their family did not understand, which is what he told them at the end of the film.Also, one of the featured persons (as I thought) was Nicole.
Nikoli – was shown in the film as a mysterious person, the screenwriter presented her as – a Poor, Lonely girl, Working in a supermarket, and trying to somehow earn money for her living (even though she had not been given a promotion for a long time)
TJ – met her, during another attempt at beatings, she wanted to protect TJ, in response she offered to let him down, in her old car. TJ did not reciprocate her feelings, without even saying goodbye (everything turned out badly in his life, he was very closed).
At the end of the film I realized that when everything seems lost, someone has to give you a kick in the ass. This kick turned out to be Hesher. Aggressive, rude, immoral… But it was he who opened their eyes to life. After all, life is also unfair, but you need to live on. You had to appreciate what you had, and not regret later about what you lost and did not appreciate.This film will make everyone understand that they need to appreciate what tomorrow may no longer exist
