Poor Me! Typical
story of an over privileged Olympic athlete who gets everything and flushes it
down the toilet. This sad sack up and joins the military, gets shot down
and manages to get himself caught by the Japs! All of this after loosing
in the Olympic distance race. What a looser! Throughout the movie
he lands in the middle of the ocean without a responsibility in the world and
all the sushi he can eat. The cry baby in his raft dies, so there is one
less problem he has to deal with. Then after getting rescued by the
Japanese soldiers, gets set up in a resort like prison doing minimal chores
complete with clothing and friends. I don't think he should have
complained much, he basically had a personal trainer while serving his time at
the ranch. So why is this movie worthy you ask? Well, put Mrs. Pitt
behind the camera and anything is possible. In all reality this movie was
amazing! It was over hyped, so initially i thought it was going to suck
but it had me from the beginning and what a story of perseverance. Highly
recommended and if you watch American Horror Story, watch out for Dandy in the
raft, he is a real treat!
