L'Homme de la rue Notations et commentaires
- K1t5un320 mai 2025I don't know why people say this show has this-or-that political vibes when it's more than obvious the theme of the show is about working together and being friends with your neighbor, that's it. The line that gets this show it's criticism is the tear down your fence line, which in modern political climate is a touchy subject. I get it, borders are vital to the survival of a nation, but that's not what this show was getting at and it's an unfair to hold it against the entire movie when there are much better themes in place, such as the power of a true grass-root movement to overthrow oligarchy and how billionaires manipulate grass-root movements to suit their own agendas. Now, if we actually rate Meet John Doe for what it truly is, without the shade cast on it, it's a bit of a sappy flick with some cheesy scenes, such as Cooper's make-believe baseball scene or the girl gets sick and faints into her love interest's arms trope, but the director integrates all the cheesy scenes to make it work for the story and the acting for silver screen is top notch making this an absolutely recommended movie, with one caveat... if you're sensitive to the suicide subject, I might tell you to give it a pass. The silver screen is a treasure trove of good stories brought to life and while this one is good, it's not a must watch. I honestly don't know how they got the producers to sign onto a script where the hook and pivotal climax is based upon the idea of suicide, but it was handled with care and weaved nicely into the story. With that, I say this is a solid 4/5 and a thumbs up!
