Film # 8 - Bright Lights, Big City
Bright Lights, Big City stars Michael J Fox who works as a fact-checker for a New York magazine in the mold of the New Yorker. Actually, that is neither his main vocation nor his calling, which are all night druggy parties and fiction-writing respectively. So what is this movie about? It turns out that our hero is suffering from the grief of his dead mother and his recent divorce and self medicating with drugs and hedonism. In the end, he decides to change and buys a bread and decides to sustain himself with more than instant gratification.
I remember reading the bits of the novel on which this movie is based. In my recollection not a bad book. But the movie is mediocre. One word: boring.
