note to the haters

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2008)

The consensus from the haters of this film was that the main character was crazy or selfish or stupid or whatever, and that the film portrayed him falsely. Well if you watched the movie and came away with that opinion, how exactly did the film mislead you? I felt that though his motives were intriguing, his quest became an obsession to the point of complete ignorance of his affect of the people in his life, past and present. Luckily, the film was descriptive and neutral enough for me to formulate that opinion.
I would worry if all viewers of the movie came away with the same opinion of Alex Supertramp. Then you'd know Penn was serving Kool-aid.
