The fan - Il mito


The fan - Il mito

Trama:

Da un romanzo di Peter Abrahams: vite parallele di un campione di baseball (Snipes), da poco rientrato nei Giants col madornale ingaggio di 40 milioni di dollari, e di un suo fan, commesso viaggiatore di coltelli. Due, e complementari, i temi principali: l'analisi psico-sociologica del fanatismo sportivo, moderna forma dell'idolatria; il patologico bisogno di passare un quarto d'ora sotto i riflettori della pubblicità televisiva. Storia di un'ossessione, è un film artificioso e sforzato con una prima parte interessante, un'eccellente fotografia di Dariusz Wolski e un'interpretazione superba di De Niro.AUTORE LETTERARIO: Peter Abrahams

What was a pretty good 3/4, the last act was too ridiculous to take seriously. Still as a whole fine performances from both De Niro and Snipes even if neither were in top form, but at least appeared to be trying instead of phoning it in as both have done in the past decade or so. Also a testament, as I could never see the NFL doing this, for the MLB to allow licensing on their teams with a fan, albeit a psychopath (or is it sociopath?), being portrayed that way. **2.75/5**
