Réalisé par Daniel Mann6.250%38%6.1
Willard est un jeune homme plutôt asocial, sans amis, vivant avec une mère envahissante dans une vieille demeure, humilié par son patron dans une entreprise au sein de laquelle aucun des employés ne le respecte. Alors qu'un jour il quitte furieux un repas d'anniversaire, il va tomber nez à nez avec un rat dans une partie calme de son jardin. Après s'être montré incapable de se débarrasser des rats qui vivent là, il va se lier d'amitié avec l'un d'entre eux qu'il va surnommer Socrate. Willard va par la suite utiliser une véritable armée de rats pour se venger de ses humiliations, mais une confrontation entre lui et un des rats, Ben, va également survenir...
Willard Notations et commentaires
- maryvasilakakos20 juin 2025Utterly brilliant movie making without today's pretentiousness and PC preaching. The young man mistreated by all the adults around him finds friendship with a creature most of us abhor and despise. Beauty and the Beast tales have nothing on Willard. Alienation and loneliness find companionship with a "monster". Brilliantly metaphorical movie, the metaphor presented so simply that most critics miss the whole point of the movie and babble literal nonsense about it. The young Bruce Davison is scintillating in the role, creating emotional nuance and ambiguity and a promise of what he's capable of in complex character roles. Loved rediscovering the movie here.
- Yuri and yaoi lover 4 life !!2 août 2025holy shit
- Stairwaytothestars7 août 2025How can you not like a movie with a charismatic and dashing rat named Ben? He was so convincing playing a rat that he starred in his own sequel, called Ben, that included a mega hit song about him and performed by Michael Jackson! This song went on to win a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar, and that is amazing! Unfortunately, Ben is no longer with us, but he is safe now from all the traps and thriving in Rat Heaven in his mansion made of cheese. I love you Ben and I will see you someday in Paradise! 🐀
