#4 – Never stop trying: I would have given up day one. But towards the end of the movie, when Eleanor asks what he’s going to do, he says, pay back that debt, and get on with his life. He went from being down a few hundred bucks, to being down thousands and thousands of dollars. When confronted, he sets all of their pots on fire. #5 – Learn from life’s experiences: I loved Shia’s character – and just how all in he was, and in all the wrong directions! He is working at a crab shack and is stealing crab from a competitor’s pots. Zak did what he had to do to figure this life thing out. And yet, Zak overcomes by figuring out a way to escape, through bars, into the night, in nothing by his tighty whities. #6 – Be flexible when life throws you a curve ball: two years Zak has been trapped in an old folks home. They do their own thing and don’t apologize to anyone about it. These three individuals are the epitome of counter-cultural. And Eleanor is a widow who spends her life caring for those that are sick and dying. #7 – Walk your own path – do your own thing: if these three characters are characteristic of anything, it is that they do their own thing.
Which brings me to the first life lesson that I learned from from Peanut Butter Falcon: And Tyler too! I mean, he sounds like he doesn’t at first, but he obviously does. It was interesting to see how Eleanor just innately cares passionately about Zak. But even in the midst of that glorious optimism, this trio is saying something important about the larger values of life. Instead of everything going wrong, everything is going right.
#BUTTER FALCON MOVIE#
Now, the movie is giving them the brightest, and most positive way life could be breaking for them. So from one, we quickly go to two, and finally a threesome. Eventually the duo are joined by Eleanor after she finally tracks the duo down. And the two mismatched misfits just cut and run from their respective lives. After Zak jams, he encounters a fellow named Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) who happens to be a dirt poor crabber, and boatman. So, the movie is about a fairly fantastic guy named Zak (Zachary Gottsagen) who happens to have Down Syndrome, and it’s about his escaping from an old folks home. But truth be told, I would have thought 50 Shades would have single-handedly nuked her career.īut that is all irrelevant to the larger point I want to make here.
I thought she was good in Bad Times at the El Royale as well. Oh, and Dakota Johnson too…she and Shia had a pretty compelling magnetismic thing going that needed to work quickly as they didn’t have a ton of time on the screen together.
McEnroe – but I don’t know if I was sold like I was here. But we’ll have to see? I think I did really enjoy Borg vs.

I’m hopeful that it isn’t just the brilliance of the role, and that he too has come full circle. He has perfectly shed the horrific Indiana Jones stuff of nightmares, and now we have a completely re-socialized and revitalized bona fide brilliant actor on our hands here. If not quite the bayou mysticism of Beasts of the Southern Wild, the film crafts its own distinctive world – a wetland badlands with its own deeply etched moral codes and systems of enforcing them.I absolutely adored Peanut Butter Falcon. There’s a moment when he’s gazing at Eleanor from under the frayed brim of a baseball cap with such a naked, vulnerable expression that it’s as if he’s falling in love and getting his heart broken all at once.Įqually impressive is the sense of place that Nilson and Schwartz evoke. Stinging, raw and sinking into a deep, swampy sadness, LaBeouf is tremendous.
#BUTTER FALCON PATCH#
The one person who sees his potential is Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a fisherman adrift who finds himself at war with the white-trash crab fishers who muscled in on his patch after his brother died.
On his trail is Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a well-meaning volunteer who, like everyone else, tends to underestimate Zak. Zak busts out of a care home in order to chase his ambition of attending the wrestling school of his hero, the Salt Water Redneck.
