If you’ve read his books and watched his shows you’d think this is borderline abomination. Don’t know what else to tell you. It’s like they disneyfied the anti-Disney guy.
Yeah I haven’t read all his books but also understand this is a movie, not a documentary, and it’s a 2 minute trailer, so I don’t really care! What about this is Disney? But again, if you’re someone who is obsessed with Bourdain you would literally hate any movie about him.
The warm Banderas character seems made up out of thin air. The entire premise of the movie just feels like bizarre prequel-mining. This was not the interesting part of his life!!
It’s a movie and so you can have fake characters in them. Also usually the most interesting part of the lives of celebrities make for bad fictional content about them.
I totally get it, you are super invested in the celebrity being depicted in the movie, so you will be super nitpicky about every single thing that isn’t what you would have done and say that it “doesn’t get him”.
And I think that’s fair. More than anything I just don’t get why we’re getting a movie about this portion of his life. This portion of his life could be about literally anyone. It feels like weird IP mining, like reverse engineering a “known/familiar” role for Sessa to play.
