Everyone seems to know Joseph Gordon-Levitt these days. He
was a child actor in Angels in the Outfield. He was a teenage alien on TV in “3rd
Rock from the Sun” and he’s been in a string of successful films from the indie
hits “(500) Days of Summer” and “Looper” to big summer spectacles like “Inception”
and “The Dark Knight Rises.” But he has finally turned things around, quite
literally, but getting behind the camera for his directorial debut “Don Jon.”
And it’s about a guy who’s addicted to internet pornography. A hit at this year’s
Sundance Film Festival, “Don Jon” boasts fine performances from its dedicated
cast and a witty script by Gordon-Levitt as well.
Yes the subject of “Don Job” is pornography. And yes we see
a lot of it. Or at least however much porn an R-rating can get you, which
apparently is a lot in this case. But
the movie isn’t really about porn.
And you know what? It’s not a message movie about how porn is evil and will
ruin your life. This isn’t some kind of religiously conservative movie made by
Kirk Cameron. It’s actually a movie that is about the role of men and women in
society and a criticism of patriarchy and the objectification of women.
Gordon-Levitt plays
Jon. He’s a typical New Jersey “guido” type we’ve come to see in various media
outlets (i.e. “Jersey Shore”). He has a routine. He likes his apartment to be
neat and tidy, he loves his close-nit traditional family, his best guy friends,
loves working out, and loves the ladies. Oh and he loves porn. He loves the
fantasy it provides more than actual women. It only seems to become a problem
when he meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) at a night club. He doesn’t sleep
with her right away like he would with most women. She seems special; she also
plays hard to get. Eventually they start
an actual relationship. That means that after having sex, he must sneak away to
the fantasy world of his computer anyways. Things get really crazy when she
catches him watching one of his naughty videos. She’s disgusted. And she has
every right to be.
We’ve come to accept in society that pornography is degrading,
filthy, and for perverts. But I think it’s more complicated than that and so
does Gordon-Levitt. Yes pornography exists solely for men who objectify women. But
that happens in daily life as well. All the movies, TV shows, and advertisements
use women’s bodies for men to oogle. Gordon-Levitt even comments on male and
female roles when Barbara gets annoyed at Jon because he likes to clean his own
apartment. Apparently that’s a woman’s job.
Gordon-Levitt, who begins his film in a purposefully
formulaic way makes things interesting when he introduces Esther, a middle-aged
woman who Jon meets during his night school class. The film sets up Jon as a
man’s man, and Barbara as a woman’s woman and you expect a typical romantic
comedy set up. But as Barbara and Jon’s relationship begins to crumble because
of his addiction, Esther becomes more important to the film’s story than we’re
prepared to thing. Of course she must be important however since she’s played
(wonderfully) by Julianne Moore. It’s sort of strange story development, but
one what that is unexpected even if it feels not completely natural.
Gordon-Levitt knows the clichés and trappings that come to
romantic comedy territory. Is “Don Jon” actually a romantic comedy? I believe
it is. It is funny, but at times it feels real. The characters seem all too
realistic at times and therefore it gives it the dramatic weight missing from
similar films like this. It’s certainly not for everyone – it’s frank depictions
of sexuality is something not regularly seen by wide audiences but it has such
a fun time picking apart what you’ve come to expect from a movie like this
(even with hilariously game cameos from Anne Hathaway and Channing Tatum) that
you can’t help fall for “Don Jon.” It might make you feel a little icky inside,
but it’s an assured and bold film from a new talent I’m excited to watch develop
artistically. GRADE: B+

The adult scene lies about 30 mins to 1 hour. For that little size video, pornstars requires large number of hardwork to accomplish the world that might take about 15-48 hours. It is just a really tedious job. Best free porn sites
