Young Adult: j’adore Charlize Theron

Jason Reitman has made ​​him do. In his fourth film, Young Adult , returns to show off a fabulous sense of humor based on a story so pathetic as real close and real. Certainly not be left out of the responsibility for the success of his film both its star, Charlize Theron, and its screenwriter, Diablo Cody, who certainly knows perfectly the psychology of the thirties and forties contemporary problems and trauma faced. Both also share credits as producers, as well as the director of the film.

As usual Jason Reitman gives us an absolutely delightful credit sequence that, if on one hand serves to introduce us to the film, also plays a role of identification with that generation that still used cassette tapes. The same sequence, complete with a prologue that precedes it, is enough to introduce Gary Mavis (Charlize Theron), a woman impulsive, unstable and crazy. A portrait in which the worst of Marvis is also the best of Marvis. And this is a maxim which serves for the whole movie because one of the virtues of the story is that the most fun is also the most pathetic, with all the strength that such a claim entails.

If the visual style of the entire film, and as in previous titles, is simple, does not make it simple, knowing exactly when and where to draw the attention, stopping or opening a detail level also opens only when Marvis their own psychological purpose. Because Marvis is smart and realizes what is happening, except that often prefer not to see or look away. Precise and almost mathematical, Reitman is not too lavish camera movements, except when he wants to highlight some emotion of the characters. I never laughed so much as with a zoom like that when you hear it on Marvis The Concept, the issue of Teenage Funclub, but not when driving, but later in the concert of the wife of Buddy (Patrick Wilson).

It seems that the whole discourse was supported precisely, not in that sequence, but the subjectivity that emerges from what he feels Marvis listening to that song that is obvious, do not feel the same as Buddy and his wife. The conclusion that Diablo Cody poses therein is, in fact, that only depends on the lens through which we see things we can overcome the traumas and problems that we put on the road. Because it does not matter that you live in a rural setting or in the big city, frustration and success will always be relative depending on how is your view on them, or your acceptance of the world where you live.

Patrick Wilson is justito in his character, but all other components of the cast are exceptional in their performances. Perhaps Patton Oswalt deserves special mention as it would have been easy for her character would have been a caricature with any other actor. A good dose of humor is seen in the actual inventor of the film as it relied on Elizabeth Reaser for the role of Beth, the mother and wife that Marvis would have liked to be. The joke is about the participation of the actress in The Twilight Saga, the subject of a subtle joke in the film. But he certainly deserves all the honors and this year's Oscar Charlize Theron, Meryl Streep well above or Rooney Mara. How? What is not nominated? I honestly do not understand why it is absolutely pathetic when you lie to herself and radiant and glowing when you have to deceive others. Note for the costume designer for three fabulous outfits the actress in each of the dates with Buddy. Irresistible as the movie itself.
