Good acting of Jay Baruchel in overextended movie
I watched “The Trotsky” for Jay Baruchel and I’m not disappointed – his acting is great. He’s funny and smart at the same time and he can deliver these qualities in a pretty good way. This is a strong side of that movie but here’s a weak one – the scenario is too flat and too overextended.Idea is pretty simple, movie could be more hilarious and less pretentious but director lost that chance.
There isn’t a lot of political stuff because story focused mostly on one guy, his behavior and way of thinking, which is very well-played by Jay Baruchel.
For me, as Russian, all that pseudo-Soviet stuff in the movie is okay however there’s just a small bunch of real Soviet artifacts with no any meaning or explanation to watcher and I wonder if they can decode what all these songs or posters or what radio voiceovers mean.
Boredom or Apathy?
The Trotsky is a teen-comedy with a hint of Goodbye Lenin’s political satire and Charlie Bartlett’s humour/plot. Although some of the acting seems mediocre, I enjoyed the film.You don’t need to understand the biography of Leon Trotsky, it explains it in a subtle way that is enough to enjoy the film, but doing research beforehand might be a decent idea.
Don’t take this film too seriously, just enjoy it for what it is. It isn’t like a normal film, it’s sort of a modern teen-comedy about revolting against injustice, although the injustice is rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Well-done, worth watching, but only if you have an open mind and enjoy quirky films about adolescent injustice.
