Description:
—Bubby is a demented man-child kept locked his entire life in a squalid apartment by his depraved mother. But when Bubby – who can only communicate by mimicking what others say and do – escapes into the outside, he soon discovers the wonders of sex, crime, rock & roll and pizza. Will this ‘mad bastard’ be destroyed by the realities of our cruel world, or does a higher calling ultimately await him in the most unlikely place of all?
—Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house he’s not entering middle age, by convincing him the air outside’s poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world
—Bubby is a nightmare of a feel good film. It begins with our boy Bubby as an abused, starved, manipulated man child who sees the world in colorless, abstract extremes of terror. He clings to moments of the rare affection with his horrifically bad mother, who then turns back onto him with viciousness and confinement. He is physically an adult, but emotionally and intellectually a compulsive, neglected idiot child beast at best, retarded by one of the worst mother characters in film history. Utterly panicked by his mother’s mysterious warnings of the outside world, which is to be feared and will kill you with poison. Eventually, through an extraordinary series of unforgettably nasty and undeservedly violent homeward events, he escapes and is forced to confront his fears and reality. Reality becomes bent around Bubby’s innocent and pantomimic experience with the world around him. He is both taken in to be cared for, and abused, always with guileless acceptance of the innate harshness of the world by our protagonist. He knows no judgment, and has nothing to measure his experiences to. Eventually, for lack of a better explanation, he becomes a rock star cult hero. Bubby is attributed with mastery of art and magnetism of which he knows nothing, but which is sucked up by a seething popular audience. The popular turn in his fortunes still don’t affect him at all, and he wanders around his world with the gaping comprehension of no more than a mirror. Human love and emotion eventually find him, and he grasps this in a very unconventional way which would find the “normal” man in the loony bin or prison, Bubby finds fulfillment, love, and redemption. Honestly, Bad Boy Bubby is the most disturbing feel good film I’ve ever seen. Further, the first 30 minutes are a great litmus test of whether or not your friend/lover/film buff can handle your appreciation for twisted art. Truly awesome
