Der Mann ohne Gesicht (1993)
57KDer Mann ohne Gesicht: Directed by Mel Gibson. With Mel Gibson, Nick Stahl, Margaret Whitton, Fay Masterson. Chuck wants to leave home but can’t make the grade for boarding school. Then he finds out the disfigured recluse living nearby is an ex-teacher.
“Mel Gibson gives one of his best performances as the disfigured ex-teacher who takes a troubled young boy (Nick Stahl) under his wing as tutor, mentor, and friend. while the idea of two outcasts, one an adult teacher and the other a young teen boy, forming a bond is not new, the story is still compelling. the suspicions surrounding Mcleod (gibson) and his past lead to new allegations. the allegations are answered when Mcleod asks Charles what he thinks about McLeodu0026#39;s past based on their relationship. McLeod forces Charles to think and judge based on his knowledge not on suspicion or hearsay. the final scene speaks volumes about what their relationship was and what it meant to each of them. this film ranks up there with u0026quot;a separate peaceu0026quot; and u0026quot;dead poetu0026#39;s societyu0026quot; as a teen awakening film.”
