The Machinist

 

„If you were any thinner you wouldn´t exist“. Trevor didn´t sleep for a long time, for one year to be precise. That´s why is is not really aware of the real world, he is always tired and weak. He works in a factory of whatever machines. One day a college has an accident and loses his arm, it was Trevors fault, since then the others avoid being around him. Just before the accident happend he met Ivan, a strange guy with an ugly laughter. Ivan seems to appear around Trevor more often, he drives this red car, Trevor tries to catch Ivan, wants to find out what is going on. Why is there this scary paper on the frdge, who entered his appartment? And what is about the blood that runs out of the frige? He finds some saftey at Stevies place, a prostitute he visits regularly, who dreams of having a relationship with him. And then there is Marie, the waitress with the son. She is so very friendly. But he is sure, there is a plot going on, all against him. This movie is so scary, cold and weard. I had to stop watching it when I tried it the first time, because I was so afraid of what would happen next, what is real, who is good and bad. It took me a long time to see what is real, what is in Trevors head and what not, the story is very good made. And Christian Bale as Trevor is great. And very very thin.
