1) Uhhhhhhh. I'll preface this post by saying I watched this with Bricker and I was actually paying attention tha whole time (Bricker said he was intrigued by this movie lol). So when I've been confused in the past because of my ADD, I really tried not to be here.
2) To say that this movie was slow and dragged out is a gross misstatement. Sean Penn takes his sweet time trying to hunt down the guy that tormented his dad. He's not really in any hurry and goofs around the whole movie. He broke back into a teacher's house to steal a picture of a boat, stared at a buffalo for a good 15 minutes, and then played ping pong with some dude he met at a diner. All of this was integral to the movie's plot lol.
3) And why did the movie have so many confusing underdeveloped subplots? There's the wierd woman at the house who's looking for a missing person that we never find out about. It's maybe the young girl's brother or something, but when Sean Penn finally decides to drop the goth look then the woman looks happy. That makes sense given that a bunch of people didn't like his goth look lol. And why did he drop the goth look? Just because he made that old guy stand naked in the cold? What good did that really do? And whatever happened to that coffeeshop guy he was trying to hook up with that girl?
4) And was it me or did Sean Penn really remind anyone of Edward Scissorhands and not Ursela and Phoebe's boyfriend from the hit tv show Friends?
This must be the place that Sean Penn's movies went down hill LOL.
