American Trash

I really like this movie. It is a very good movie. It is a very captivating movie. I have watched this movie twice now. I would watch it a lot more if it was on a streaming app. I love Robert LaSardo. He's a great actor and great director. This is a very emotional movie. I highly recommend everyone check it out and at least watch it once. This movie shows how cruel the world can be and how emotional we can get from it. It's sad that this kind of stuff really happens in today's society. It also shows how someone suffers from ptsd. I give it eight stars. Hopefully a lot more people will check it out.

The story involves a veteran with ptsd that has been trying to cope since his time in service, he meets a girl which quickly becomes what he feels is his other half, a tragic incident happens to her leaving the man in a peril state.

Robert LaSardo takes a different path in a more dramatic approach showing his character is going through more than what is met. The environment is very well shot heightening the mood and setting for the characters, very well shot camera work and cinematography. The cast is well placed for such a dire situation when it primarily focus on one character.

Robert's character goes through various feelings such as connecting,spirituality, seeking an inner sanctum of self salvation, carrying a burden and not when or how to rid of it even when you try to get the right support.

It can also teach us that even a consequence needs to be paid rather than learning to accept and improve on self character. Sometimes a painters self aggression needs to use the brush and paint his reflection in a different perspective, in a different form. Fans of Robert LaSardo's work will see a deeper side of his character and notice that everyone can become their worst enemy, everyone can become the monster they didn't know could be, everyone can repent and find the light of solitude.

It is worth watching to feel and to exercise the meaning of "righteousness " this feeling I would call a two sided shade of grey that anyone can relate to.

First I may say it was a pleasure to chat with Robert Lasardo himself, after seeing him in a lot of my fav films .., American Thrash , was a different type of film o seen Robert do, he showed a different range of acting , dept in his character Milles, , a very gritty feeling the movie set you in, shows the very down side of Los Angeles, and for Robert directoraldebut , it was a hit ...for me .. Not to spoil anything but was a great ending sequence to this movie , , also this movie shows love, hope , in this storm of humanity .. Realize have more to say , this movie also shows the individual struggles of these characters.

Robert LaSardo not only delivered an exceptional performance but as a storyteller, he knocked it out the park! They don't make movies like this anymore and the tragic story he has written resonates on a very deep level. This is a love story and delves deep into humanity, our environment and the psychology of ptsd. The cast did a great job supporting this story and the production value is very high considering the low budget this film had. The score is haunting and brings you back to a time long ago. If you haven't seen this film you should, it's an emotional ride that will leave you stunned. I adored this film and I highly recommend it!

We are all connected, every one of us - and this film shows us that throughout the story. Grief and stress change us from the inside out, and in American Trash we see this with Milles and grow to understand his psyche and the massive love hidden deep down inside, especially for Melissa.

So much of life is out of our control, but love wins. We make choices every day and these choices shape our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Both fear and love battle it out in this story and the moments captured are deep and true.

Robert, keep directing and writing. It was an honor being a part of this film.
