MOVIE REVIEW
A Film Called REVO-LOU-TION
BY Stephen McCrory
REVO-LOU-TION, the highly acclaimed and much anticipated hit of the year is soon to be on the big screen. Designed to create catharsis via a uniquely structured story, and a powerful climactic scene never before experienced in a motion picture, audiences are journeying with LOU as he transforms from a violent, extreme stutterer into a great, powerful communicator.
Hundreds of have left REVO-LOU-TION screenings having had life altering transformations. Instantaneous transformations created through identification with LOU, whose Oscar caliber performance by Bret Carr, audiences hang onto as they journey through his near death psychological awakening.
Bret Carr (director and lead role) stars as a stuttering Lou Benedetti takes you through a whirlwind of emotions that will have you grabbing for the tissues as he plays a gentle man in a fighters body…a man to whom even the simplest sentence is the greatest challenge…who becomes the heavyweight champion of the word.
REVO-LOU-TION asks the question ‘’How radically would it change your life, if you could stop reliving the drama of your childhood in your current relationships hoping to get the love that was not there?’’ Through a process of spiritual enfoldment balancing comedic and heartwarming events, protagonist Lou Benedetti shows us why one must confront their darkest moment in order to find their light. The beauty this movie, is that it portrays the step by step transformation of a man.
The idea for REVO-LOU-TION “the transformation of LOU BENEDETTI” comes when Bret shared an instantaneous transformation he made in his own life with Quinn Redeker, writer of five-time Oscar Winner “The Deer Hunter”. Bret enrolled Quinn with the thought that if Quinn could duplicate the Russian roulette scene from the “The Deer Hunter” in a version of Bret’s experience, that it might liberate as many lives as did the “The Deer Hunter”. Quinn was on. The first several years of ongoing production were financially realized by Bret’s painting of dreams on individual grains of rice, an ancient Buddhist art, which he commercialized on the 3rd street promenade in Los Angeles. Having walked away from his post as vice president of the billion dollar holding company which controlled Arby’s, RC Cola, and other multinational corporations when only 18 years old, Bret chose to take the long road to craft a more soulful life and a contribution to society. soulful life and a contribution to society. His reward was being discovered by producer/writer Mary Helen Shashy who discovered Bret painting on the street in between shooting days, she visited the set the next day, and then jumped onboard to help finish the picture.
REVO-LOU-TION created an experience in this writer and the audience around me that inspired me to the depths of my being that I am bearing witness to the beginning of a movement as much as an Oscar caliber work of cinema art. Mark my words, REVO-LOU-TION will become the most groundbreaking, real life and heartfelt award winning movie that is going to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue. And within just a short period of time after it premieres, it will become cinema legend.
In its test run, the Principal of Cincinnati’s Felony Correctional facility, “Hillcrest”, walked out of the movie in tears, saying, “I’ve got a 147 of him (LOU) in there, just dying to get out. This movie is going to change their lives.” Principal Johnson, one month later, got REVO-LOU-TION approved by the state court to be the first film to be screened in that facility. And for every advanced online ticket purchased at www.areyoulou.com, a portion of the proceeds goes to The FOUNDATION FOR CONSCIOUS HUMANITY to send a Youth at Risk to see REVO-LOU-TION.Can I say more? Need I say more? A Knockout in the form of a perfect 10 for any heavyweight champion in every sense of the word.
