I've probably seen this movie throughout my years starting at a very early age. Probably, too young to even be watching this film. I can't exactly imagine, what made me want to watch this film at an early age, but seeing it again as an adult, this movie was very interesting and took on an interesting subject with regards to feminism, gender re-assignment, and writing.
We start off by a very strong-willed woman played by Glenn Close raising her son Garp, on her own, at a young age. She never really imposes any sort of boundaries for her son and somehow that plays out throughout the film, in odd ways. At some point, Jenny becomes a writer that starts a feminist revolution, leaving Garp's dreams of becoming that kind of "successful" writer in the rear-view so to speak.
The movie tackles a lot of different social aspects of life in a way that is considered classic now. I really don't want to get into so many details about it other than, if you find yourself curious and interested in great acting by Robin and Glenn in the 80s, this is one to check out. Also Lithgow, plays an ex-football player who is living life as a transsexual in this film. Again, I don't know why I was watching this film at such a young age but I do give it props at this point now that I know what the movie is really about.
A review is defined as a critical evaluation or a retrospective view or survey. The goal of this review is to provide my own bias and thoughts to the many films I have seen over the span of my life and relate it to my experiences. I will try to keep it by review date but it will most likely be pretty random. I feel like I have seen a lot of films and let's see what I remember about them.
