Don Jon (2013)

Making a movie out of an idea can be pretty tough, cause you have to bend all other elements around that idea. DON JON is one of such films.It mirrors most of the teens (also adults) virtual life and their fantasies too( much like mine DC's Robin having his way with MARVEL's Black Widow. sorry banner).It kind wanna think about the generation's influence towards porn and their mental,physical and moral health which is gonna affect.It a kind of movie where you wanna watch with friends but to hell with SJ i think every single one gonna end up alone with a High definition copy of this movie. shake it out guys.cheers

Every open minded girl or woman must see this movie. Excellent directing and the characters are great. -1 for finishing the movie in a soft and somehow moral way, it wasn't necessary in my opinion. I loved the Don Jon from first half of the movie.A must see

Joseph Gordon-Levitt excels with his directorial debut and shows that he is equally as strong behind the cameras as he is in front of the cameras. Don Jon is a movie about a New jersey bartender called Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Leviit) who portrays a universal image for men as porn lovers. Also starring alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore who give performances just as strong as the main actor. This movie stuck out to me in one major way, the power to portray how both men and women's perceptions of relationships are deceived by porn and romance movies. Men who watch porn expect women to be like the female porn stars they engage so much time into. In this respect, men automatically decide that all females in this world act like porn stars, which is not the case. When their hopes and dreams of a 'perfect' woman turn out to be false they are automatically let down and don't think that woman is for them. The same can be said for women, who expect a relationship with a man to be that from typical romance movies, romantic, perfect and unbreakable. When these standards are not met by the man and woman in a relationship, it breaks down due to the deception from these romance movies and pornography. Overall Don Jon gives a realistic perspective on modern day relationships, with strong acting, directing and narrative on top. Don't be drawn away from this movie because it is cast under romance as it's nothing like the genre it claims to be. Any moviegoer should see this movie, especially with your other partner as it may say a lot about your relationship and provide ways in which you can improve upon it.

I have mixed feelings about a movie. The film actually reflects our real life: the guy who addicted to porn because it is easy, accessible and acceptable, the girl, who is shallow, egoistic and think only about herself only. Jon's sister represents most of the people who cannot abandon their phones for five minutes. Jon's parent's demonstrates life of couple after thirty years of marriage: TV and arguments. Also, the movie touches religion, some people think that if they go to church, donate money and confess, all their sins will disappear. I think, it is not a comedy, it is a tragedy movie. It just shows how people are degrading. It made me really upset. At the end they show that there is hope. But it is like a thin thread that can pull main character from his problems.
