The Beaver Review - Special Kind of Suffering

almost 4 years ago

When you fail to commit suicide and life turns to the heart of those around you that you cannot even communicate with people, you decide to retire and communicate with them through your beaver.
In Tragedy’s Brilliant movie Gibson brings us in the midst of some comic spots that will make us enjoy the movie.
This beaver will be with us in this film, who will control almost the movie.

The movie tries to convey to us that how depression can get you to a very traumatic condition and how this can affect those around you.

I hope you enjoy this review

The story

In a strange precedent, he spoke in a semi-disjointed family, where he turned depression and Walter into a person who does not hate everyone, as he does not budge from the sofa and drinks alcohol day and night.
Until his wife Meredith was full enough, she had to drive him out of the house, but his two young sons had a contradictory opinion about their father. The teenager Porter hated his father so much that he wanted to get rid of him in any way.
In contrast to his son Henry, who still loves his father, despite everything Walter was doing to him, he still loves him.

After all that miserable life, Walter tried to commit suicide!
As he lost hope from life, he tried to throw himself from the balcony, but he fell on the bed next to the beaver doll, which would have a prominent role in the movie after that.
Where the beaver told him to "wake up" and here the story begins ....

But the ray of light that came at the end of the dark tunnel was from Walter's wife Meredith after he was separated from his beaver
She managed to get her family back after all the differences that affected them.

But this came after many attempts she made and the rejection she met from Walter after his association with his beaver as he turned in some shots into a madman of compassion and depression. Walter made the life of his family a hell.

Although Walter's actions are horrific, they are embodied in a funny and entertaining way in most of the events of the story.

An impression of the movie

Movie"The Beaver" deals with a purely social problem, since how can depression dominate our lives in this way? Can we blame Walter for his depression? Are family ties weak in this way, to break up so easily?
Many questions we made the movie to ask ourselves.

The film could not be considered as a comic, despite the attitudes that we would find during it, from speaking beaver to the messages that Walter was sending.
Mel Gibson was able to embody a mental condition for millions of people around the world, as well as a family problem that is not simple.

The real problem remains here, should we treat the depressed patient as guilty, or should we attach him a little?
The real problem that Walter faced in my personal opinion is not depression per se but rather the knowledge of those around him that he has depression and dealt with it in this sense. This is what made Walter feel pity sometimes and crazy again.

I think that the most appropriate solution for treating a depressed person is to treat him naturally, and not to make him feel pity for him, and the psychiatrist may be a solution for some, but I do not see it as useful in many cases.

Photography

The film did not require much effort in photography, as all the scenes were natural, unlike the movie I reviewed earlier, "1917 Film", as it required a fictional effort from the team.
Despite this, photographers and the director presented some snapshots at some moments, from the rapid transition of the camera to zooming in on Walter and embodying his suffering.
Likewise, it required a professional beaver, especially in the balance between shots and camera transmission.

In the end

Amidst all these family troubles, Walter eventually recovered out of love for his young son after his great suffering.
Mel Gibson gave us a humorous act sometimes, but he portrayed grief and pain in a condition felt by millions around the world.
