Joe Bell Review
Greetings again in the dark. Judging by his record, Mark Wahlberg is not the first guy to come to mind with a message film about tolerance and inclusion. On the other hand, he is completely identified as the father of Oregon with a racist problem when his son came out as gay. Director Marcus Green (MEN AND MEN, 2018) works with a script co-written by Diana Ossana and the late, Larry McMurtry, and although the film touches on some of the conflict topics, it does so in a playful way. regular audience. Mr. McMurtry passed away earlier this year, and the two writers co-hosted an Oscar with their screenplay game BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2015).
Wahlberg plays the role of Joe Bell, and the film is based on the true story of Bell's decision to cross America - from Oregon to New York City in honor of his son Jadin (best played by Reid Miller). Oregon was at home, but the Big Apple was where Jadin dreamed of living - a very welcoming place for him. We see the constant bullying that Jadin endured at school and the principal's reactions, and we also see home life: a father who tries to avoid this problem and a loving mother (Connie Britton) who is not an active woman. .
During his pilgrimage, Joe stops at schools and community centers to tell Jadin's story and to highlight the importance of kindness and tolerance. Of course, this is also the time for personal emotional cleansing for Joe ... the act of reconciliation, if you will. There is a twisted editing tool that should be miraculous, but there was no need to make it so - it would still work well. One of the best sequences happened when Joe crossed paths with the Sheriff of the small town played by Gary Sinise. Only a few annoying minutes allow a high-profile actor (Sinise) to play the role of a father presenting the burden of guilt.
The past few years have inspired many of us to confront our prejudices and ideologies, and this message film reminds us that homophobia still exists and often overwhelms the kindness of others. Jadin's story about the "circle of people who hate you" probably comes home to a lot of people.
