Savage grace synopsis
Unemployment, easy access to drugs and things like that contribute significantly to ruining young minds, which have seen no other way of life to compare with. Is it necessary for someone to die? That’s the question that will puzzle the viewer, and in some way, terrify us. As the story unfolds, the viewer will see the four of them stepping on a dangerous path with of no return. The couple still sticks together until the moment, when a double murder occurs for no apparent reasons. But she has been giving all her love to him and seems that has reached its limit as well. Indeed, Jason is madly in love with Elena. But that will reach its limit when he gets mad learning that Gabe is dating his girlfriend Elena. He appears to be able to maintain more or less some balance. And, to be honest, I truly hope it is Sasha Feldman’s brilliant interpretation of his character that makes us want to get close to Lucas and learn more. One can expect anything terrible to come from the two of them. The interesting and musical format of “Savage Youth” brings us closer to Jason’s and Lucas’ psychotic personalities. As a result of it, the course of the life of each and everyone in this story is about to be changed soon. Gabe (Tequan Richmond) and Mike (Mitchell Edwards) are just their neighbors who happen to hang out with the wrong people and be in a wrong place at a wrong time. However, they are pretty comfortable to befriend these guys. Elena and Stephanie are the complete opposite of Jason and Lucas. They both like music, rap, take drugs and live an insanely dangerous lifestyle. Jason (Will Brittain) and Lucas (Sasha Feldman) are best friends. The question is – whatever reason there is, can it be worth it? Of course, not! But those who have died will never get a chance to answer us back.
Maybe the reason is a girl, or maybe them being of color. The film is about teenagers who for whatever reason decide to kill two young men. The story told in “Savage Youth”, written and directed by Michael Curtis Johnson, is sadly inspired by true events that have occurred in his neighborhood. It should be respected by every living soul and none has the right to claim someone else’s life and take it away from them. That money can't buy happiness may be a cliché, but this story affirms it, at least for one very dysfunctional family that thought that it could.Being born, living and dying are the three natural parts of the cycle of life of the universe. Still, the film instructs us on how life can disintegrate for people with too much time on their hands and no sense of responsibility. The main problem is the script, and in particular the plot structure. The film's technical elements, including acting, are fine. Viewers must exercise patience to see where this slow, meandering story is leading. As is, the story comes across as disjointed and at times confusing. Though I'm not one for lots of exposition, some added dialogue could have helped the narrative to flow better. But because the plot spans 26 years, viewers must fill in the story gaps as best they can. "To say that one is tired of Paris is in fact to say that one is tired of life". At one point, Barbara, a socialite and former model, concedes a sense of apathy and boredom. We see them as they jet-set their way through Spain, Italy, and France, and hobnob with the rich and famous.
Snippets of their family life allow us to peek in at odd moments between 19. Curiously aloof and standoffish, the film suffers from an unfortunate structure. The plot ends with the shocking climax, in 1972. The film's plot begins in 1946 when Antony is a baby. Complex human relationships with a tendency toward destructive behavior form the premise of "Savage Grace", a true-life story of the Baekeland family, heir to the Bakelite plastic fortune. Yet, they manage to inflict unhappiness on each other in ways that test the limits of family love. Self-absorbed and shallow, the father Brooks (Stephen Dillane), the son Antony (Eddie Redmayne), and the mother Barbara (Julianne Moore) go about their lives with nary a care in the world. None of these rich, idle people induce much empathy.
