The Chumscrubber, the name of a video game, the film also reflects the topic of adolescence. The neglect between children and parents, the indifference of the adult world is chilling. Even under the same roof, they don't know what's going on inside their child's closed door. A mother thought her son was shutting herself in a room, but it was empty and her son had been kidnapped for two days; a mother only heard the loud music coming from the room, but did not know that her son was destroying inside. smashed everything; another mother was in the garden chatting with guests at a party, not knowing that her son was hanging his young life on ropes in the next room. These kids are forgotten, no one cares what they are doing, thinking, existing or not.
The cast and soundtrack are great. HP went to two, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs. RF is a bit mysterious in it, and there is a little magical color on his body. The watermark he stepped on is a dolphin. There is also a young Berlin actor LOU TAYLOR PUCCI, Trini in The Matrix plays Jamie's mother, Mahon in Prison Break plays his father, and the film who plays Jamie's younger brother looks like Macaulay King. Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson also plays RF's fiancee in it, which is very beautiful.
The soundtrack is strong, featuring James Horner from Titanic and Braveheart.
This film develops in several lines, so although Jamie is the protagonist, there are not many scenes, and the performance is OK. What I remember more deeply is the wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, which is fascinating. Of course, there are also emotional changes. At the beginning of the film, he saw his friend hang himself in shock, confusion, and overwhelmed, so he walked out of the door and said "Goodbye, Mrs. Johnson" to the deceased's mother.



This is a very strong group movie.

The Chumscrubber quotes

  • Officer Lou Bratley: Okay - so, now, you want to tell me about this fight at the mall?

    Dean Stiffle: No. Not really, no.

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: Dean, make an effort for me, please. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for all this, officer.

    Officer Lou Bratley: I'm all ears.

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: Dean?

    Dean Stiffle: ...The guy at the mall was Billy. He and the other two forced me to steal drugs from my friend, Troy.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Troy? Who's this Troy?

    Dean Stiffle: Troy Johnson. He's dead.

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: He committed suicide, sir.

    Officer Lou Bratley: I don't understand.

    Dean Stiffle: I told them no, so to force me to do it, they kidnapped my brother.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Wait a minute, are you kidding me? You got a son who's kidnapped?

    Dean Stiffle: No, wait a second, listen. They got the wrong kid. And they said if I didn't get the stuff from Troy, they were going to kill him.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Oh, you just said Troy, who's dead.

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: He is, officer. Dean...?

    Dean Stiffle: So I did it, only Charlie - my little brother, Charlie, switched the drugs on me. And I wound up with a bag of my mom's Veggie Force.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Veggie Force?

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: It's this vitamin line she hocks.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Veggie Force! I know that stuff. Right, I know, Veggie Force, right. Okay. Yeah... you wouldn't happen to know if they make a weight gainer for kids?

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: I can check I guess.

    Dean Stiffle: ...Anyway, that's why we got in a fight. Cause he wouldn't let the kid go.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Which kid?

    Dean Stiffle: The kid who was kidnapped.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Okay. I think I understand. You were fighting at the mall with a guy who's kidnapping and drug smuggling with a guy who killed himself.

    Dean Stiffle: ...Yeah.

  • Officer Lou Bratley: Well, that's great Dean, you know? Only there doesn't happen to be any reports around here of any missing kids, so how do you explain that?

    Dean Stiffle: I can't... I can't explain that.

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: [Interrupting] Officer, can I...?

    Officer Lou Bratley: Well, I mean, what's his name? This missing kid, this kidnapped kid, what's his name?

    Dean Stiffle: He's called Charley.

    Officer Lou Bratley: Charley what?

    Dean Stiffle: Charley Br...

    Dr. Bill Stiffle: [Interrupting again] Officer Bratley, could you step outside a minute, please? I'd like to talk to you in private.

    Dean Stiffle: ...O-Officer Bratley?
