Broson

Post by Gob »

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172570/

In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.

See it!

I thought from the title that this thread was something to do with incest in NZ... :D
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Oi. Gobby. Fix your thread title. (putz!)

Bronson was a corker of a movie. Not a person I would every want to get on the wrong side of.
Bah!

Just plain odd. It was interesting though the movie assumes you're somewhat familiar with Bronsons antics already. I also think the films narrative devices were applied a little sloppily.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I love Tom Hardy, one of my all time favourite actors.

I loved this film, it has some clever and surreal moments and great cinematography.

Following seeing the movie I bought some of "Bronson's" books.

I wish I hadn't...

"Solitary fitness", of them all that's the most interesting, but it's still written by a psycho..
