Amok He Was A Quiet Man

He Was a Quiet Man

He seemed like such a prissy guy.. He pretty much kept to himself...

A troubled loner, Bob Maconel, imagines blowing upwards the tower in Los Angeles where he works. He takes a revolver to his office intent on killing colleagues, and then himself. At habitation, he holds conversations with his fish, who encourage him to do it. His supervisor picks on him. As he's screwing his courage to the sticking place, he drops a bullet; while on the floor looking for information technology, some other colleague does exactly what Bob has been planning. Bob emerges a hero and the one colleague he likes, a woman with a bright grinning, is severely wounded. Can Bob help her through despair and find himself and joy in life? Or, equally everyone says, is this impossible for a man like him?

I like to throw things into the trash from a distance. I feel similar I'm really proficient at it, too. I take made so many spectacular shots into the trash tin over the years that if I was in the NBA and the garbage was the net, I'd exist a Hall of Famer. Yet, every single fourth dimension I accept a shot and someone else is watching, I miss. Everybody has seen me throw things towards the trash can, completely miss, and heedlessly walk over to throw it away like a bowwow. Christian Slater in this movie is me believing in myself and making that perfect shot when nobody is around to notice it, yet everyone will e'er remember all the times I missed earlier and all of his bad performances.
After it concluded I have nothing to...really talk most. Well it's trying to be unique and tries to be clever, just in reality it'south not.

Well yeah, most people don't even know this film exists then I'll just say information technology's not that good? Yeah I think that'south plenty
Dearest films with unreliable narrators, and He Was a Quiet Human being is a fine example. Shot through the fractured psyche of Christian Slater's Bob, you're never quite sure what'southward reality and what's the fabricated fiction his sorry and lonely heed has created. It goes off on surrealistic flights of fancy; he is berated by his pet fish or envisions himself blowing up his function building. The interim is superb, with two terrific performances from ii unlikely sources in Slater (mired in DTV hell for too long) and Elisha Cuthbert, showing heretofore unseen range. A sad look into the mind of a recluse, but looking for some human contact. Next time y'all meet that weird quiet guy at work sitting alone for tiffin, maybe go and talk to him. Merely in case..
Elephant past the manner of Juno with American Beauty's soundtrack... is only good in theory.
I of the most tragic and all besides common incidents to happen in America is when someone, for some reason or some other, decides to get a gun, become to their part, and shoot upwardly the place. This kind of incident is the basis for the motion picture He Was A Quiet Man.

It's about Bob, a "quiet homo" played by Christian Slater, who is alienated from and constantly bullied by his colleagues at the office. He decides to take a gun and shoot upward the place until someone "beats him to the punch" to say the least. Later on shooting the gunman himself, Bob unwittingly becomes a hero to the public. This motion-picture show tackles a quite controversial subject quite well in my…
July 2017: Flounder'due south Scavenger Hunt #6
TASK #26: A film with an unreliable narrator!

Featuring one of the underrated Christian Slater's accented best performances, He Was A Quiet Human being is a tragic, darkly comic, compelling, well-written and directed, beautifully acted story most a troubled loner and his existence pulled to the depths of insanity.
I bet Sam Esmail saw this and thought, "I could do it amend."
Christian Slater as an incel office worker who'southward planning to go postal (and kill every motherfucking last ane of his part colleagues, except the beautiful secretary), but something e'er gets in the way. After 5 minutes this seems similar it'due south going to exist all too predictable and platitude, but then it starts to surprise me; and who'd have thought, the plot keeps taking left turns throughout. Cinematically this is very rudimentary stuff, frankly it looks like crap. Information technology has the look of digital before digital became practiced - like and then many low upkeep films from the early 2000s. Merely the of import thing is the story, and at the very least this is engagingly erratic.
Part Space from the perspective of Milton, but with college dramatic aspirations. That could well be the pitch this flick, recounting the events that befall a dissatisfied worker after he shoots a crazed gunman with the weapon he intended to utilize for much the same purposes himself. There's potential aplenty in the story, but author/director Cappello never finds a fashion to really mine the idea for anything other than stupid sense of humor and a childish view of the world. To endeavor large CGI set pieces—our protagonist fantasises about his workplace exploding—on a meagre contained upkeep is an admirable pursuit, but no corporeality of goodwill can overlook the agonising cheapness of the graphics hither offered. Indulging in the kind of nauseatingly quirky…
The starting time time I watched this I rated information technology higher. I'1000 not the type to re-scout 1/2 star movies. I inappreciably e'er give that rating out.

Tries to re-create beats from loner thrillers, and adds a couple twists in an attempt to brand it unique... Epically fails.

In that location's a few scenes where he can talk to his goldfish... I would say that'southward a steal from The Voices, but this moving picture really came out kickoff. At least at that place'due south a point too it in The Voices, and they show him as a disturbed schizophrenic... Hither they virtually immediately drib the goldfish scrap, and don't bear upon schizophrenia at all.

This has some Love Object vibes also, every bit the atomic number 82 is an office drone obsessed with a female co-worker, merely it doesn't even come close to being as good.

I hateful I don't even really care to write more. This shit sucked.
"I now know why you're such a tranquility human"

Christian Slater playing a creepy loser...gee what a surprise. Seriously though, he annoys the crap out of me and his grapheme is Uber creepy hither.

If y'all could probably guessed, I only watched this because of Cuthbert and I'thou done my picture show quest of hers (at least the ones I ain/are currently streaming).

After The Girl Adjacent Door, I experience like she may wanted to avoid beingness typecast as "that hot girl" so she decided to star in more contained movies and I wish her motion-picture show career would've been better.

I'm glad she's plant tv set shows, because I definitely want to check out The Ranch, Happy Endings, and 24.

This movie sucked though.
Surrealistic and imaginative. Definitely deserves more views and praise than information technology's got.
