a5c7b9f00b A young man who was sentenced to seven years in prison for robbing a post office ends up spending three decades in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter-ego, Charles Bronson.
In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to seven years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.
This is the first time I have seen this film but I truly believe it is a near-masterpiece. I am not exaggerating, it's my honest opinion. I wasn't expecting this film to be quite so good, but the comparisons to A Clockwork Orange ring true. Sure, it is notoriginalthat film was; it is also fairly lacking in plot compared to some films. However this film is excellently made, with great camera-work, a brilliant score and an amazing performance by Tom Hardy. It is near-impossible to sympathise with Charlie Bronsona character but I don't think that was the point. Maybe with a little more length in the film his character could have been explored a little more. However I would whole-heartedly recommend this film to anyone with an interest in film, I believe it is vastly underrated and under-appreciated.
I was in no rush to see yet another glamorisation of another over the hill criminal, But I was shockingly surprised and confused at what I had just experiencedthe credits rolled. The film definitely deserved another look.<br/><br/>I have now seen Bronson a number of times and think it is master class piece of film making. Tom Hardys' portrayalBronson is excellent and captivating. I hardly recognised him from his roleHandsome Bob in Rock'n'Rolla. I found myself hanging of every word.<br/><br/>While yes it is not acceptable to glamorise "Britains' most expensive prisoner", there was no glamour, what I saw was a portrayal of a below intelligence, misguided and confused individual.<br/><br/>This is not a prison movie, this is not a gangster movie, this is a movie into the inner psyche of a mad man.<br/><br/>I constantly keep hearing comparisons to Clockwork Orange and yes there are similaritiesclassical music plays a large part of the soundtrack. The craziness of the Clockwork Orange is also present in Bronson. But the character portrayed immediately reminded me of Chopper. The use of the Walker Brothers tune "The Electrician" at the start of the film was devastating and definitely warns you of what you are about to witness.<br/><br/>This is not glamour and this is not Hollywood, this is dark, disturbed and very unsettling. A must see, Excellent.
Bronson owes a little or a lot to Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange," but if that's a crime I wish more people would commit it.
