Recovering physically and emotionally from tragedy...
“Stronger” is based on the true story of Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal), a guy waiting at the finish line of the Boston Marathon to cheer on his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Erin (Tatiana Maslany) when two explosions go off. He survives, but his legs are gone.<br /><br />We meet Jeff briefly the day before the Boston Marathon. He’s from a large family whose matriarch, Patty (Miranda Richardson), is a brash, tough-talking alcoholic. Jeff has commitment problems, whether seeing to a batch of roast chickens at the Costco where he works or deciding if he wants to spend his life with Erin. They’ve split up a few times. He spends much of his free time in a favorite bar with his pals, guzzling beer and shooting the breeze. He has charm, which serves him well, but he is a boy in a man’s body — immature, self-focused and, in many ways, irresponsible.<br /><br />The terrorist attack and its aftermath have a profound effect, as he must deal with an entirely new kind of daily existence. Patty initially takes the reins of his care, then drops them, and Erin moves into their small apartment to help out.<br /><br />Though director David Gordon Green doesn’t dwell on the initial carnage after the explosions, he does take us through the painful removal of the dressing from Jeff’s leg stumps, the difficult routine of taking a shower, and the tensions that arise because of his dependency.<br /><br />While he struggles with physical rehabilitation, the media and public portray him as a hero and poster boy for “Boston Strong.” He goes along with this for a while, encouraged by Patty, but eventually questions the label when all he did was lose his legs. Emotionally, he’s deteriorating, saved only by the dedication of Erin, who stays by his side despite his temper outbursts and breakdowns.<br /><br />Hollywood has often turned to stories about people undergoing difficulties in recovering from or overcoming disabilities, such as “The Miracle Worker,” “Mask,” “My Left Foot,” “Born on the Fourth of July” and “With a Song in My Heart.” “Stronger” fits fit into the same template, but because Bauman is not a famous person, emphasis is placed more on his family and environment. The film virtually drips of everything Boston— regional accents, the bar scene, the Red Sox and Fenway Park, the Bruins, and working class stereotypes. This is played to the hilt. We get it. It’s Boston.<br /><br />Gyllenhaal does an effective job as Bauman though he’s at least a decade older than Bauman was when the explosion changed his life forever. The actor worked with Bauman and observed how he transferred from car to wheelchair, how he put on his prosthetic legs, and how he performed everyday activities. Gyllenhaal’s legs have been digitally erased, giving his performance an amazing believability. This is a good example of how CGI can make possible story points beyond crumbling buildings, wide-scale devastation, and superhero exploits.<br /><br />Ms. Maslany (“Woman in Gold”) plays Erin as a forthright young woman who recognizes Jeff’s pain but undertakes the sacrifices to help him overcome it. She balances her performance, portraying tenderness, toughness, anger, or despair. Her Erin is sympathetic because of the family and career she’s left to dedicate herself to Jeff’s recovery. The tasks ahead will not be easy and will often require hard work and resolve.<br /><br />“Stronger,” rated R for language and brief injury images, is an honest film dealing with the grim reality of depression that lingers after physical pain has subsided. There’s no sugar coating here, but the film is inspirational in its forthrightness.<br /><br />Special features on the widescreen Blu-ray release include there 30-minute featurette, “Faith, Hope & Love: Becoming Stronger.” A digital HD copy is enclosed.
