646f9e108c A young man who was sentenced to seven years in prison for robbing a post office ends up spending three decades in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter-ego, Charles Bronson.
In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to seven years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.
A version (there are lots of changes) of the life and times of Michael Peterson, who changed his name to Charles Bronson during his stinta bare knuckles boxer. Bronson is knownboth England's most famous prisoner and its most expensive because of the damage he has inflicted on people and property.<br/><br/>I completely understand why attempts were made to ban this film. The Bronson of this film is supreme antihero, a take no prisoner sort of guy (in a manner of speaking) who liked to break heads. Its done in a manner that is quite humorous and in such away that even though he is doing terrible things you actually like the guy. The families of the men he's injured and took prisoner are upset that this monster is made into any sort of likable guy.<br/><br/>The filmit stands is a surreal look at the life of Bronson. He is telling us, the film audience,wellan audience in a theater his tale. It goes from his early life to the point where his artistic talent is realized (Bronson is an artist and a author of some repute). Things are often highly stylized with amped up support from a music soundtrack that uses everything from Pet Shop Boys to Wagner. This is Bronson's story and he's telling it and one can not help but be drawn in. Its masterful story telling.<br/><br/>The reason the film works at the high level (its one of the best films I've seen this year) is Tom Hardy who plays Bronson with a nod and wink and a sense of person. This is no performance this is Bronson incarnate. Its one of those performances where you watch and know that if there is any justice all of the awards will be his. Its the equivalent of Heath Ledger and Joker, Anthony Hopkins and Lechter, Yul Brenner and the King and I. Its an iconic role. Its a potentially superstar making role and I can't say a bad word about it. Trust me Hardy is great, its simply amazing to watch him for 95 minutes take the screen and hold it in a choking death grip.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this film. But be warned this is a film about a bad guy so there is tons of foul language, full frontal male nudity and more than its share of violence. It also has a wicked wicked sense of humor which takes a little bit of the edge off it.<br/><br/>See this film.
I noticed this movie being accredited'A Clockwork Orange for the 21st Century'. This may leave you with a high expectation that leaves you thinking, 'Post-Modern linguistics, stylistic persona's, and a scarily surreal maddening plot'. Unfortunately this isn't the case with Bronson.<br/><br/>I don't think I'm spoiling it for anyone to gather an idea of the true story dilemma of one man; a prisoner insisting to break the rules in any area he can (Thereby creating his alter ego, Charlie). However, personality alone cannot stretch into a wondrous piece of cinema. Most characters development beyond Mr. Bronson is fatigued with a sense of deja vu. The 'oh I figured this under the radar movie would excel against the Hollywood rubbish that we see today'. Far from it. Expect the expected, all dancing, all singing, slightly patronising imagery that is Bronson.<br/><br/>Let's suggest for a moment that this piece was aimed at being a purely 'sudo-intellectual-entertainment' concept. Well, it palesthere is a very minimal story to uphold, it's difficult to grasp the solitary moments,so quickhe is found in this confinement we are reminded of his future/past experiences. You're left with a grit like cinematic filming that has been seen in much better formats like 'Snatch'.<br/><br/>However, their are some good moments within the movie that could've be condensed into a much better 30 minute short film piece, if they weren't so concerned with trying to achieve the big bucks.
He's neither victim nor hero, but a man who, in every conceivable sense, belongs behind bars.
