beyond the fact crazy people exist and there be religious nut out there . the character basically make no sense most of the time . the film have no real beginning and middle or end and nor be anything ever explain much . the film open with a young man and with the unlikely name of hazel mote and apparently return from a stint in the army . he hitch a ride to a two story house that be in extreme disrepair and window board over . he go in the house and walk around and finally write a note that he leave there . this scene come to nothing and and we learn nothing far about the house or it history . it be never explain exactly whose house this be and or where the people have go and but we be give the impression hazel have probably live there at one time . hazel decide to go to a city . why we do not know . once he arrive in this city he write down a name and address that he see on a bathroom wall and and go to visit this woman and who be a surprisingly fat hooker . he see her for awhile and then he apparently isn not see her anymore . like everything else in this movie and it come to nothing and serve no purpose . a young man name enoch and try to befriend him and but hazel really isn not interested and although they keep cross path . enoch be about as crazy a you can get . one of his habit be to go to the zoo and stand in front of the cage where the chimp be and talk at them insultingly . we never really know why enoch behaves a he do and or why hazel behaves a he do and beyond the fact hazel have an overdose of old time scary and fundamentalist religion via his grandfather . enoch later become enthral with a man who dress in a gorilla suit and and manages to get the gorilla suit from him and then run around in it . hazel and who be wound rather tight and seem to be in a constant borderline rage do a bit of street preaching . i get the impression he be try to free himself from the untruth of the religion that have be drill into him . he have several encounter with a preacher and his daughter and although their interaction never really make any particular point and and there be no plot line . eventually hazel succumbs to complete religious fervor and begin self harming . it be a very odd film . interesting in it oddness but other than that it have absolutely nothing go for it . the cast do an outstanding job and but this film completely fail to deliver either a point of view or a storyline . the film also have the character toss around the n word from time to time with no connection to the rest of the dialog . 2 star .
