A Better Place (2016)

Review by thegreatnaomitate

A Better Place

5/10

Understanding purpose and effects on others lives

So apparently I'm one of few that actually like this movie....

I don't find that odd as I'm normally the only one I know who like certain movies....

While I would consider this a B movie, I wouldn't see how this is a horrible movie. I'm sure it could have been done slightly better.... however....

I'm sure we can all relate to at least one character personally and know quite a few of the other characters in their circle....

This is the type of story that can happen in any town in any country.... while the "superpower" or "gift" of Jeremy's may not be for real, the message behind it is real.... What you do to the least of people you do to the most loved of people....

Everyone places value on relationships at different levels.... Your mom may be the best relationship you ever have.... your spouse may be the 2nd.... a bully negative value.... but what about the people you don't interact with on a regular basis but see or notice.... like the homeless man or the drug addict.... most people think they can get away with treating them badly because who cares about them? they are just trash.... In this town that was Jeremy.... and if you are willing to physically hurt someone because of a perception, then you are probably hurting the person closest to you just as bad but in a different way....

When movies aren't BLOCKBUSTERS they have to be appreciated in a different way....

If I could have his "gift" I would probably understand why at times I feel I'm mistreated.... the majority of the time it is misguided emotion....
