Mike's Movie Reviews #4: Hollywoodland
Movie ReviewsSo I just finished watching this movie, and I am very impressed. Depressed and Impressed. I was never really interested in learning about George Reeves' life until now, but it seems like he might have been a fairly tragic figure.
It's hard to think about the man who played Superman without some amount of transference from the character itself and it must have been that very fact that contributed to the events that ended his life.
Overall, I would say that this movie is very good, very sad, and definitely worth watching. I don't know how accurate the movie's portrayal of events is, but then again, I don't really care. All I know is that the movie was engrossing and gave me the impression that tale being told was one that some people were genuinely interested in. Maybe I'm wrong here, but Superman is a very American character, and the end of George Reeves seems to be very American. Sad and self-made.
