I'm not a fan of the tragic theme-d films, the emotionally disturbed, the terminally ill, the cognitively challenged.
Dustin Hoffman began almost a genre with "Rainman."
Suddenly, we had DeNiro, Penn, and others stuttering, stammering, groping their way towards the Oscar Grail.
A noble fight against a personal tragedy.
I'd like to see someone that just gives up.
Period.
"Fuck it, I'm dead. Fuck the Fates or Gods that put me here."
At least it would have the flavor of novelty.
