“Choke” is a Movie Based on a Book
27 Apr
The second movie based on a novel by the cult writer Chuck Palahniuk is a very unconventional story, but the film is not so unusual. Anyway if you like to watch movies online based on books don’t miss this one . Chuck Palahniuk’s “Choke” is a book that inspired the debut as a director of Clark Gregg, but all the fans of the great Portland’s writer were expecting something different. Gregg merely tells the story, but didn’t think about the very meaning of the story. In the book you can read about the need for everyone to put aside the superstructure imposed by society and start with the basics of humanity, but in the movie this concept is addressed here without conviction. The sensation you feel at the end of the movie is the same you can get at the end of the movie version of “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, the Douglas Adams’s cult novel. You can perceive that there are many narrative ideas never seen before but the hands of the director who took over the whole are too weak to shape the material and make something that is not a simple derivative.
