"What do we know? If I know what we know,
then I could tell you what we know, and if anyone else knows!"
~Jerry Fletcher
(Mel Gibson)
1997
Jerry Fletcher is crazy! Or is he? Yes, Yes, I know it's a Mel Gibson movie, and I do, of course agree with you, he's horrible, but it's also a Julia Roberts movie, and she's kinda amazing, don't you think? Plus the story is one fun ride, and I don't think I want a common racist and Trump boot licker dictating what I can enjoy. Come for the art, stay for the artists who work really hard to make the art great! Anyway, about the film. It's from 1997, and it takes a good hard look at the viability and dangers of conspiracy theories in general. Once again it's a movie who walks the line on whether or not some theories might sometimes be accurate, but ignored because lets face it, about 99.9% are total bullshit! But this movie is worth watching. Jerry Fletcher goes on quite an odyssey, and along for the ride is Alice Sutton, an employee with the Justice department, who Jerry is in love with from afar. The theory pulls her in and eventually makes her a reluctant partner but, as it turns out, she has a lot riding on it also. It's a good movie that will make your head spin, and is much more than a movie that dick is in. It's well worth a watch.
