Hesher (2010)

The plot: T.J is a young boy who lives with his father, Paul and grandmother, Madeleine. His mother died in a car crash. Paul is addicted  to pills so Madeleine is doing all housework. T.J is trying to buy his mother’s car back and when the car seller doesn’t give it to him, he gets angry and breaks a window of a house where a man called Hesher lives. (The house is not Hesher’s). Next day when T.J is coming home from school Hesher follows him and starts living there. T.J hates Hesher and tries to get him to move away but Hesher won’t leave. Hesher sets T.J’s bully’s car on fire and T.J is blamed for that. Hesher also ruins someone’s backyard and T.J is almost blamed for that too. Hesher becomes Madeleine’s friend and in her funeral he steals her coffin. T.j is really mad at Hesher and tells him to never come back. When Paul and T.J gets back home they see T.J’s mother’s car there and their roof has a painting that says ”Hesher was here” They seem really happy that Hesher is never coming back but they learned from him and they become closer.

Characters: Main character is T.J (Devin Brochu) who is a young boy and he is really depressed. Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is homeless person who moves in with T.J’s family. There aren’t any big names in Hesher except Natalie Portman but her character isn’t important in movie. other characters are T.J’s father, Paul, T.J’s grandmother Madeleine, school bully Dustin.

Soundtrack: Hesher’s soundtrack is really unique because Metallica doesn’t usually let use their music but when they saw the film and noticed how much Hesher reminded their former bassist Cliff Burton they gave permission to use their music. In a movie there is also one song from Motörhead.

Genre: Hesher is a drama but there is also a lot of black humor in it.

  1. That last comment about Metallica letting their music being used because the main character reminded them of their late band member is really interesting! I didn’t know that!
