P.D

This makes the list of one of the craziest movies I have ever seen, and not in a good way. My father and I were lured into the film thinking it was about the journey and the path to success and the struggles made along the way in the bodybuilding sport being that we're followers and work out. The film really has very little if any at all to do with bodybuilding and feels like a spit in the face and an absolute disgrace to the sport... among other things I explain later on. It follows a deeply disturbed, clearly VERY mentally ill and psychotic individual who happens to be an amateur competitor who has dreams of making it into the sport professionally. He descends into pure madness and gets increasingly more depraved and insane as the film goes on. The film tries to make you feel bad for him, but a lot of the stuff he does comes across as more as 'wow, this guy needs to get sent to a psych ward before he murders someone' type of concern. Which he almost does kill people in the film. The way the story flows it really doesn't make sense and doesn't add or connect to anything truly meaningful, just feels like you're watching some poor soul lose himself and go to the lowest of lows in the pits of hell for no real reason, just watching somebody suffer. He has this weird extreme incel type behavior he exhibits in the movie which makes him even more unrelatable. He looks up to a professional bodybuilder throughout the movie that's played by Mike O' Hearn that he wants to meet someday, and when he finally does, you think he's about to save him from his madness... and then takes a steep heel faced turn into something really distasteful that him and Mike does together that absolutely had zero purpose to be put in the film. I was pretty much done with the movie after that and was about ready to just walk out. I don't get what this movie was trying to portray. And to be honest, I felt this was portraying people of color specifically men in a negative outrageous stereotype, which doesn't make sense given the writer himself is a man of color! Why would you want to portray that on film of your own people. The writer himself is also clearly uneducated or dare I say biased about bodybuilding, a lot of the things the character does is tied to himself and has nothing to do with the sport at all. And I'm disappointed in Mike O' Hearn, Breon Ansley and the rest of the actual bodybuilders in this film who clearly pursued this just for money knowing how the sport has done good for them. I also believe these reviews are paid or whatever because the rest of the theater around me were shocked at what they were seeing. Please don't make anymore movies Elijah Bynum!!!
