Robert Pattinson documentary fails to accurately document
Weekly ‘Flix Fix takes the legwork out of wading through thousands of film choices on Netflix, bringing you the most truly bizarre, quirky and outright amazing gems instant streaming has to offer.
The film “Robsessed,” an E! TV special, focuses on Robert Pattinson’s life at the tender age of 23.
The movie highlights the stellar rise to fame after Pattinson’s awkward modeling career.
A new level of obsession was reached when it comes to the Twilight heartthrob and living embodiment of Edward Cullen who, according to the movie, has “finger-licking good hair.”
“Robsessed” brings together an eclectic group of insightful outsiders to comment on tidbits from magazine interviews and Wikipedia. Let the misinformation abound.
If you are in love with Robert Pattinson, this film is not for you. In theory it seems great, but it will probably tell you everything you already know.
The film plays like a glorified PowerPoint as they flash numerous pictures of Pattinson interjected with the opinions of British tabloid writers, the writer of his biography, and his first acting coach. Apparently, the coach is the closest to Pattinson one can get without the other Twilighters.
The film even takes to the streets and talks to locals from Pattinson’s hometown where local residents said he seemed like a nice boy.
The best part of the film is the absurd use of the color magenta. It is used as a transition between pictures, a backdrop for black-and-white cutouts of Pattinson and other celebrities like Daniel Radcliffe, Reese Witherspoon and Kristen Stewart, as well as the color of choice for all titles.
“Robsessed” is as charming as the man himself if only because of the copious British accents. The viewer wonders, had Americans made this, would it have been as delectable and nourishing to the mind as a Twinkie or the man of the hour himself? The mind reels and so does this film.
If you are Rob-curious and ready to become “Robsessed” in an hour, this cinema gem is for you as long as you are ready for magenta highlights of Pattinson’s “smoldering” features in black-and-white with no actual clips of him talking.
This film is like watching Pattinson through a window with binoculars. It will tease you and taunt you like no other but Pattinson can.
Watch this film and put the “obsessed” back into “Robsessed.”
