The illness of fame

Fame is a goal for a lot of people who
admire the famous ones who are on the screens, tv and gossip
magazines. What does people think? Where do they wanna go? What do
they expect? Became part of it, feel the same. Brandon Cronenberg
goes to the limits of these kind of thoughts and in his first film,
Antiviral, shows to the spectators what could happen in future.
The obsession to feel the same of
famous people make they, in the future, wish to get the same illness
of their idols. Syd works in a famous clinic that grant this pleasure
to their patients. But he jad the same problem.The idea is original,
the film os well directed with influence of the director's father and David Lynch. A cold atmosphere, even strange it could said. But maybe this
plays a bad effect on the film, the spectator doesn't get involve,
only with this hard shots close to the body and the effects of the
medical methods and illness.
How knows, maybe thats the goal of
Cronenberg but when one leaves the theatre feels a certain feeling
that indeference. Good porpose, good intentions, but that's all. Not
far away. That's not bad. It's a first movie. Now the people have to
judge and the director have to show them if he got more to offer with
his own style.
