In the early 1950’s,
Peter Appleton is a young screenwriter in Hollywood. His life and career then
fall apart, as he is accused of having communist ties. After a night of drinking,
he gets into a car accident. His car crashes into the river, and Peter drifts
off, banging his head along the way. He is found on the beach by and old man
and his dog, near the little town of Lawson, California. In town, he is
mistaken for Luke Trimble, a local young man who went missing during the war.
This movie has its charm. The aspect of the movie theatre and of cinema makes me very nostalgic. There is a lot of sweetness in The Majestic, and the acting is pretty good. The movie is a little too long though, as the story takes many detours. The point is a little heavily made in the end, but, overall, it is a decent movie for what it is.
