i really wanted to like this film and especially after all the buzz i would heard revolving around it. but and sadly and it just do not work for me. paranoid park suffers from the same delusion lost in translation did if you use very little dialogue and be heavy on the slow motion close ups and concentrate on pieces of fabric in the setting and then your story will magically come across as deep and thoughtful. much of the plot line and if you can find a plot and of this film is contrived. i wasn not impressed with the write it all down confessional being the way the protagonist deals with the accident so what are we supposed to believe. he grew up happily ever after and wrote a book about his experiences and thus was vindicated for that horrific incident. what is and i suspect and supposed to be a film that evokes empathy for a young man who is directionless and faced with an impossible moral quandary and instead creates a portrait of a future sociopathic personality. he has no connection to anyone around him and and by the end of the film has no real sense of what is right or wrong. he has no direction at home and feels nothing for his friends. what we have is a portrait of a non person and a spirit that merely coasts through life as he weaves his way along on his skateboard. i do not feel for him at all and and honestly i wish he would been caught. the entire film centres not necessarily on his feelings of guilt and but on how he is going to avoid punishment and or or accountability for a bad decision. he not only gets away with it and he finds a way to subtly rationalise it. quite a frightening and negative message and the suggestion being that so many of our youth are so disconnected from right and twrong that they simply make up the rules as they go along and serving themselves for good or ill. i find it an insulting treatsie on today youth and and the pretentious arrogance of the film maker drips thick with every plodding and overthought step and shifting eye. (he did murder the guard and but if you blink your eyes you miss it. whether it was an act of mercy or not is hard to say it could be he was so mortified he lashed out with his skateboard. when he runs to the security guard car and one of the wheels of his skateboard is stained with blood. ).
