For this week, our pick certainly comes with mixed reviews. Some people loved the movie, while others despised it...we are definitely the latter. A phrase that we have used in the past, "a diamond in the rough", pertains to this week as well. This week we pick "Chapter 27".
"Chapter 27," tells the story of Mark David Chapman, the convicted killer of former Beatle John Lennon. Told from the perspective of the killer, and describing his love of the famous singer, until ultimately plotting and carrying out his heinous act. An unrecognizable Jared Leto plays Mark David Chapman, and does an excellent job showing the deranged mind of the character. Filmed in historic locations such as Strawberry Fields in New York City, and accurate accounts from eyewitnesses, bring out the special qualities in this movie.
As I have said earlier, this movie is a like or hate type of film. Some claim that it is to slow, I couldn't disagree anymore. There are almost no movies out there telling the story of the assassination of John Lennon. "Chapter 27" does a wonderful job showing Mark David Chapman's path of love to hate, and really demonstrates his isolation from society. It is more of a movie about the convicted killer than one of John Lennon. Take a chance on it, until next week happy viewing.
