(1982) The World According To Garp
DRAMA/ COMEDY
Based on John Irving's popular novel of the same name which is a chronically biography fictional account of a person named Garp, given from his mother which has a reason. From the time when he was just a baby, finding out later that he's a b a s t a r d son with no father figure, to showcasing his eccentric mother's weird outlook on things and life in general who unknowingly became a feminist, and started originally worked as certified nurse for the campus to help her son get the education that he needed. It's basically a movie about Garp played by Robin Williams escalating from being a nobody to becoming a writer to staying married to his longtime sweetheart. Intriguing, strange and somewhat engrossing, skipping pointless dramatic parts which always works, masterfully directed by George Roy Hill of "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid". Some the dialogue might've provide some meaning which is only convenient when shown on this film but that's probably how far it'd go. Nominated for two Oscars including one of Glenn Close for Best Actress in a supporting role and for john Lithgow for an actor for a supporting role.
