#DAHMER 2002 TRAILER SERIAL#

I'm sure his remorse decreased over the years, but I don't ever visualize a serial killer feeling shame about his victims. But one scene that caught me completely by surprise was when young Jeffrey cringing when cutting up one of his victim's bodies and eventually bursting into tears. The director mentioned it wasn't his intention to give backstory on Dahmer's life, and instead make it an emotional drama, but it would've made the film more interesting. Though I found the film fascinating and thought-provoking, I still wish I could've learned a little more about what drove Dahmer to madness. Talented, underrated actor Bruce Davison makes a few appearances as Dahmer's father, also doing an incredible job the 10 minutes-or-so he's on screen.

I kept trying to recall where I saw him before, since his face looked very familiar, and then I checked his filmography and found out he was in "National Lampoon's Senior Trip." Of course, this movie gave him a much better opportunity at showing off his acting abilities. Jeremy Renner does an incredible job at playing Dahmer, expressing a laundry list of emotions with his face and body language alone. And towards the end, the lighting becomes much darker, as Dahmer becomes more evil. Jeffrey's room is lit completely red, giving it almost a hell-ish appearance. Once I watched it a second time, the story became much more clear to me, but others watching it for the first time might get confused as well. He still looked like he was in his twenties, so I had no hint of his aging. I personally didn't think slapping facial hair on him made him look much older. But after watching the featurette and watching it a second time with the commentary, I realized that the movie was bouncing back and forth from Jeffrey in his later years to Jeffrey in his earlier years. When I first watched the film, I had the impression that the whole movie was about young Jeffrey Dahmer and the story was told in a linear fashion.

One thing I must criticize is the use of flashbacks. There's a long history of guys slipping roofies into women's drinks to get them in the sack, so Dahmer was no different from any horny heterosexual guy, only he took it many steps further. It's interesting to find out this can happen among homosexuals as well. But his perversions took him so far that he'd walk into a gay bar and slip roofies into guys' drinks (which is shown in an extended montage), take them to the back and have sex with them as they're helpless and passed out. And he wasn't brilliantly sociable, so he didn't have an easy time making friends or getting guys to go out with him, or have sex with him for that matter. He felt his homosexuality served as a handicap in his society. What I did get a sense of was his alienation and shyness. From the looks of things, he had a pretty well-to-do upbringing. Not every serial killer commits murder because he was abused as a child. While watching the film, I said to myself, "How come we don't learn much about his family life?" Maybe his family life had nothing to do with choosing to be that way. I can't say I relate to him that much, other than being lonely and an only child, but that didn't stop me from seeing how he was as a human being. I learned a lot about Dahmer that I never knew previously.

There's no use showing us what we already know. And the movie doesn't try to shock us with gory details of these grisly occurrences, because that's not its intention. We don't what drove Dahmer to madness, and what led up to the subsequent rapes, murders and eventual cannibalism. We all know about the crimes that Dahmer committed. But this movie was not made to portray him as a hero, nor a villain. Like everybody, I believe that what Jeffrey Dahmer did was wrong, and I feel sorry for all the families who lost sons and other relatives due to him. Ripley" (a great film) focusing on a psychopath, but that's because Tom Ripley is a fictional character. There weren't too many complaints about "The Talented Mr. Films like this always have the immediate handicap of focusing not only on an evil, psychotic main character, but focusing on an evil, psychotic main character who we all know. This is a very well-made film that was put together on a very low budget.

People seem really disgusted by the film, but the only thing that disgusts me are the negative reviews.
