A character study of a flawed man

Rating: 3/10 (25 July 2014)

I went into this film knowing nothing about it apart from its synopsis thinking that this would turn out to be a good film, and for the first 15-20 minutes it looked that way. However, the longer this film went on, the more apparent it became that the central character was essentially a ''man child" who takes the literature he reads too literally. Throughout the film, he makes countless of irresponsible and reckless decisions that go against what the film portrays him to believe making it more difficult to relate or sympathize with him. His actions mirrored that of a teenager and its worrying that the majority of the public see him as an inspiration. And the irony to how this film ends! This is essentially a character study of a man who is ignorant, destructive and bratty.
Simply put. If you want to be seriously vexed after watching the most misguided 2 and a half hours of film ever put together, by all means watch this. It puzzles me how this is in the top 250 list.
