Storyline

Perry Roberts is about to graduate from a prestigious private college. The son of a corrupt Congressman, Perry has lost faith in all the things he held true - his family, girlfriend, and the American Dream. He finds himself emotionally bereft and depressed. In search of self-discovery, Perry meets Giovanni, an art student with an unrealized gift, Giovanni is Perry's polar opposite. Raised by abusive parents and placed into a series of foster homes, Giovanni is brooding and nihilistic. He lives in an altered state full of drugs and sex, capped by a deadly game with a gun and a single bullet! Perry sees Gio as a free spirit, incorruptible and impervious to the pressures of society. Gio believes Perry to be a spoiled rich boy dabbling in existential angst. Perry needs Gio to believe that his pain is real, while Giovanni implores Perry to play his game of Russian roulette to prove the validity of his suffering.

User Reviews

Very disappointing...

I stumbled upon lost dream after looking for movies with an actress called katie stuart who is in this movie. After reading the storyline i thought this could be quite an interesting movie. I was wrong. The lead character (perry played by michael welch)plays a bit of a tortured soul and i was thinking this could be similar to the fantastic prozac nation made in 2002.Perry was someone that i could really relate to in the fact that he is always picking out what is wrong with humanity and is always asking questions there aren't really answers to and nothing really seems to make him happy. The thing is though i haven't had a privileged life and hot girlfriend(katie stuart) amongst other things. This is really where perry loses all his sympathy from the viewer and myself as he just comes off as a whiny annoying little boy who acts like his lollipop was taken once as a child and he's never got over it. Giovanni like most viewers see him for what he is but perry feels like he isn't really seeing him at all and he's not the rich silver spoon kid everyone thinks he is.The movie goes at a snails pace,under uses the two female characters in the movie and his father who he is supposed to be so disillusioned over yet he never even appears in the film!! All i can say is at least i was glad with the ending. Although anyone with half a brain probably would have worked it out after 30 minutes or so if not sooner.
