For fear that anyone who is moving away from this thought that “the best man” is all about the spectacle luride of the fall of a famous figure of grace, I assure you that it is only half. The biopic is even more interested in the famous return of Robbie Williams, turning his life and his career in several years – not necessarily by the will alone, but by healing and the redeemer power of rehabilitation. For director Michael Gracey, it played a fairly important role in what is happening during the chaos of the Knebworth Festival:
“The idea of fighting is something that I think we all know, and you have an idea of this disgust for self-relief and this self-judge through all the performances it does. Still blocks in the audience, looking at disgust. .
Where “Better Man” shines most is in his representation of a concert that begins to live and fun … Only to transform into a painful battle in the mind of Robbie Williams, culminating in a dark moment when he kills Horribly an attacker revealed to be like a child himself. For Gracey, this sudden low point had its roots in a therapeutic approach to the real world for those in detoxification cure. As he explained:
“And obviously, it stops quite brutal when he kills his younger self, which is based on rehabilitation and one of the techniques where they show you a photo of your youngest at the age of five or six years , and say essentially, “would you do what you do to this little boy? And of course, people are like:” No, I love this kid. And they say to themselves: “Well, it’s you.” “”
