I spoke to several people living with autism I know in my personal life about the portrayal of autism in the film, but still thought it was important to include a clip from someone who is part of the community.

"I can't talk too long, I gotta poo"
Moose, The Fanatic (2019)
👏👏👏👏
The dialog is more articulate than I would expect from Durst.
I had watched Chris Stuckmann's hilariosity review of this film and can't believe this movie exists 😂 I think it'll unfortunately become a cult film as it seems so bad its good. It was recently added to Netflix and I'm waiting for a night where I have nothing else to watch to watch it.
bri bri
He has my favorite one.
It’s the closest to how I felt when first watching it.
I was sitting there the whole time saying the same thing "I can't believe this exists"
The hilariousity was amazing, I had to watch it after!
I think Rob Zombie has the talent to have made this a good film. I have never been a Fred Durst / Limp Bizkit fan. I applaud you for delving into actual autism versus that portrayed in this and other lacklustre films.
Thanks David, as I said the issue isn't that Moose is living with a spectrum disorder - the issue is that that's the only background (justification as Travolta says) that the character is given.
I will not lie I saw/heard Limp Biskit the first time at sports and music festival in 1998. I was not a fan of Fred's.
Rob Zombie is such a hack he would have made this even worse. That would have been quite a feat but he could have done it.
John travolta’s son who passed away Jett had autism
Interesting he never said this in the interview I watched, thanks for the tip!
@@spookyastronauts yeah Emma he did he had epileptic seizure. Did you know that Sylvester Stallone has a son with autism.
That's really sad
Considering that Travolta is a Scientologist, that is just horrifying.
Monty R well that explains why he didn’t have any problem taking the role...
I'm glad you mentioned Eminem because he happened to have written one of the worst lyrics to a song I've ever heard
"You got buns, I got Asperger's"
Oh god
I personally can't stand Emime. I know many think he is a God but to me he is just a bullying who puts everyone down who doesn't feel like he does. Sorry not sorry. I don't like hateful, negative people!
Is it weird that.... I liked "The Fanatic"? I have autism myself and I wasn't offended myself by the movie. Moose was also insane-not just autistic but that's 100% obvious.
Glad you enjoyed it! I wish they gave him more story, so we could figure his backstory out
I love the way you break down the material you cover. Keep making great content!
Thank you so much
That’s very disappointing. They could have just done a stalker fan film w/o putting the character on the spectrum. Though kind of ironic that Devon is now playing the character being stalked
Love the video! I actually laughed when you brought up Stan and how it has the same actor 😂 and showed the movie and video side by side.
Haha thanks Kayla
great video Emma. glad you addressed the autism aspect of it - and thanks for the youtube recommendation. I'll check out your friends' channel.
Thank you Kristina !
You're great at what you do, Emma. Thanks for another thoughtful, objective review.
Thanks for watching Pete!
My boyfriend has Asperger's, so hearing from Dan's point of view was interesting. I'll have to check out his channel.
This movie seems kind of interesting, even though it wasn't your fav. Seems like Travolta really tried hard to build this character.
I haven’t seen this film yet, but am curious to check it out. I so appreciate that you brought in Dan to provide the perspective of someone on the spectrum.
Thanks Mia
I'll check this movie out when I can get a good deal on it. Love stalker movies.
Awesome video, as always. Thank you 😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks Boyd, always nice to see your name pop up in my comments
How do I love every one of your videos 👏
Thank you Pooka ! :D
Really great review!!
Thanks Benny
I could not agree with you more. That is all. Good review.
nice the fanatic [2019] film horror movie review !!!
Now we need a Jonathan Davis directed horror film !
for sure!
He probably could pull it off. Have you watched his music videos?!
@@FayeBush381 Which ones has he directed? I've seen a bunch of Korn videos but I don't know which ones he directed.
@@anthonywheeler2082 he has produced many of them as well as other short films. I was just saying he has a good eye for film and how it works.
@@FayeBush381 That sounds cool. Thanks for the info!
I would add that, not uncommonly, Moose's character would have other underlying disorders as well. Unfortunately, a lot of "secondary" disorders are mistaken as just another part of the spectrum, but rather Asperger's can sometimes exasperate those conditions, when triggered.
It's a dangerously common mistake to make and one that the media has no problem running with, whenever someone does turn violent. The other problem with being on the spectrum, is that different aspects of it are expressed at varying degrees and can share similarities with other disorders, too, which makes it hard to differentiate between them, like a messy Venn diagram.
So, when they want to push a news story at nauseating speeds, nuance and understanding is thrown out the window and it just feels like they are more ready to incite a witch hunt, rather than try to earnestly understand and educate people.
What this movie would have needed, is some way of indicating that Moose had other issues, without taking people out of the story, because it does just paint a picture that people on the spectrum are just inherently dangerous, if left unchecked.
On that note, it's also hard to tell whether he had any coping support growing up (given the character's age, I doubt it) or at which point support may have fell through... The movie leaves a lot of questions that have little to nothing to do with the story.
Travolta’s portrayal of the Moose character deserves better reporting than the same-same criticism that most seem to have settled on. Not an easy role at all. And though Youd never catch me listening to Limp Bizkit, the direction of Durst here is fine for a rookie, good pacing. Interesting enough viewing I thought.
finally i have cuaght up with her videos :), it's been so long since i watch her channel and finally got up to here XD. Love this movie myself and it was really fun. I recommend you watch the 2000 movie Blood: The Last Vampire :).
hi!
@@spookyastronauts hi
A lot of people with this condition don't have anyone and it drives them even more crazy until they snap. They have a much higher suicide rate than homicide rate so imo, the blame is partly on society failing to give them the support they need.
Cool review
Thanks!
What's going to happen now is that everyone gets this confused with the Joe Spinell/Caroline Munro grindhouse classic The Fanatic from 1982 (aka The Last Horror Film, it was already getting confused with The Last Horror Movie from 2003).
I think they will figure out what's what very quickly!
Bottom of the list it goes. Thanks Em.
haha!
Travolta's son,Jett,also autism too&passed away about 10yrs ago now when he was 16. After seizure when they're on vacation.
Yes other people have said this in the comments
I didn't like this movie but i did appreciate Travolta's commitment to the role. Break stuff!
Same right
How did you watch this? I can’t find it anywhere in Australia?
It was given to me
It's so bad, it's a masterpiece! It will become a cult classic!
really?
😳 OMG!!! I fell in love with this movie...I’ve seen it over a dozen times in a few days. I was mesmerized by the story. You are right I identified as being a fan and just wanting the AUTOGRAPH! If he would of gotten it he would of backed off. Not that I would do what he did but all in all the celebrity was a bad guy. Remember the main characters are Moose and Hunter.
Totally respect your opinion, but didn't you feel like the film didn't really go anywhere? If you like stalker films I recommend Der Fan !
Hi!! OMG I love you. I hear you-Yeah it didn’t go anywhere cause for me it seemed more like a statement. Instead of cat n mouse games it was a Hunter n Moose games turned upside down or back to front.
Its not a bad movie, it has so many problems but its watchable. Travolta's acting is well....fascinating. Off course there are better movies that dealt with stalker fans but hey you get see Travolta wearing a Jason mask trying to scare Eminem's number one fan Stan.
I felt like the whole film lacked any tension, glad you enjoyed it though!
Thanks Emma for your thoughts on this horrible movieI can't believe you took the time to do a review on this
Haha yeah I was a little late. Just a reminder I prefer my comments on my content not my looks. I appreciate you watching and commenting though
As soon as the movie ended I had to ask wtf I had just watched
Hahaha
Bizarre movie, like watching a car crash...Travolta was interesting. But my guilty pleasure of the year goes to The Intruder...crazy Dennis Quaid alone rocks the house :-D
yass car crash is the right discription
I have Asperger syndrome and I've met celebrities.
I do not know and can't in any way comment about the spectrum aspect. But, as a movie it makes Ed Wood's films look like Kubrick's!
😂😂😂
On the list of terrible/bonkers films of 2019 that you kind of have to see, this is one, the other is Serenity.
haha!
Fred Durst is still a waaaaay better director than Rob Zombie
“I’m a biscuit fan”. May god have mercy on your soul. 😉
:P
Well you know I'm autistic I will have to look at this one yeah I have many trates of autism I have many friends too I like to think of it as tattoo which is why I had one on me. I too I'm happy with my reality. 😊 I will also give Dan's channel I look for sure.
I had you in mind when making this Ross, that's why I wanted to make sure I covered the issue with care
@@spookyastronauts oh you did Emma for sure.
I didnt mean to watch the whole movie but thought it wss ok. For the longest time i was thinking Devon Sawa was Anthony Michael Hall lol
Hahahaha
John Travolta must have a heart of gold or be on the strong green stuff to do sh*t like this!!! 😂😂😂😏😏😏😏😏
I believe if Fred Durst would have done his homework on this subject, this film wouldn't be the laughing stock that it is now.
I think he needed to tweak the script so something actually happened haha or that it all took place on one night so it wasnt so much back and forth
I've heard this is really bad Travolta needs another Pulp fiction moment
Im not a fan of Pulp Fiction XD
I hate Fred Durst and hate his music - but I liked this movie!
Moose is a nutcase.
This film will go down as the most insane performance ever, by a once A Level Star.
Moose is just a dumpster of different psychiatric extremes, and intelligence levels, written for the scene at hand.
It just becomes a comedy.
I think that would go to his role in battlefield earth
Im Moose THE REAL Moose and I am not on the spectrum Travolta played that Moose is a over zealots fan
What about that very first line? lol
Gotta poo
@@spookyastronauts Ya gotta love it! LOL Poppycock!
This role was not problematic, it was absolutely hilarious. This movie was so unfathomably awful that it became a cinematic masterpiece. It's on the same level as The Room and The Happening and I was laughing from start to finish. The shameless Limp Bizkit advertisement in the movie was also the most hilariously in your face and on the nose scene that I've ever witnessed.
I never thought I’d see a movie starring Travolta that could be any more unintentionally hilarious than Battlefield Earth...I did not think that was possible... but then, along came The Fanatic. 😂
This movie was awkward and kinda awesome
I had seen this one It was a okay film not my favorite maybe 2 across the board.
2/10? or 2/5?
spookyastronauts i am going to go to 2/10 across the board
The statement that Durst gives about why the main character has autism comes off as really ableist. Really the whole tired "crazy character is crazy cause mental disorder" is such a tired trope already (Note i have Aspergers myself)
What statement did he give? I missed that!
@@spookyastronauts the one you quoted where he said the character was justified cause of his autism
@@spookyastronauts also my bad after watching this video again i realized it was from John Travolta and not Fred Durst
This girl is the best thing to come out of Australia since Emilie DeRaven! Love this channel, love girls knowledgeable about horror movies!
“The way they portray it, is a bit problematic.”
Uuuuuuuuuuh “a bit problematic”? His son Jett had autism, died of a seizure, and John Travolta based Moose off his late son. It’s more than problematic. It’s offensive and soooo fucking wrong.
Hey! Hope you’re well.
From what I know Moose wasn’t written based on his son since it was written many years ago and had nothing to do with Travolta.
Are you saying that it’s not problematic or worse than that? I can’t tell by that comment. I would think that would make it worse? Given that he’s a psycho killer in this film.
spookyastronauts I meant as in it’s worse than problematic. Like, waaaay worse. And I thought Moose was based on John Travolta’s son Jett because that’s what I’ve been hearing from people who saw the film.
- Hung up on certain details, and missing the big picture ... Which the big picture is that one way or the other, he doesn't understand society's rules. There are *plenty* of people, I've seen, like that .. Whether they have autism, or not.
I had no idea it was supposed to be a horror film. I thought it was fucking hilarious! Political correctness be damned, this is 2019's "The Room"! The movie had a 23 million dollar budget and made 3,153 USD from 52 cinemas! I found out about this movie from yourmoviesucksdotorg and Chris Stuckman last month.
I don't think its a PC issue, just a representation issue. I think people get them confused a lot.
@@spookyastronauts no it's not a PC issue. I just thought I'd include that bit so people don't think I'm having a laugh at the disabled. Fred Durst and his company Mother Fucking Cinema (MFC) provided all the laughs.
So bad it’s sorta good 👍🏻
oh not for me haha
spookyastronauts haha John travoltas a legend in this lol
how is a stalker/fanatic movie a horror movie?
I mean watch it and you find out, unless you want spoilers? Jason Voorhees shows up... also would you not say Misery is horror?
spookyastronauts oh I’ve heard. People get killed in ‘fan’ type of movies, doesn’t make them automatically horror. Crime/drama/thrillers yes but horror, I don’t think so. Similar movies aren’t to me. Would you consider One Hour Photo, The Fan, Fear, Swimfan, Play Misty For Me, The Gift and so on Horror? Stalkers, obsessed fans/people do disturbing things in these movies but doesn’t automatically make them a horror movie. So theres a hockey mask, and. No I wouldn’t call Misery a horror, psychological drama/thriller.
I agree.. but Have you seen the movie? It was marketed as a Fred durst horror movie? I’m not just making it up
spookyastronauts no but haven’t seen the trailer either but from what I’ve heard it doesn’t sound like a horror movie at all. How did you watch it? Is it on streaming in Australia?
I was given it, not streaming. But just letting you know it's horror to me.. I guess it's one of those ones you can see it either way. But so many movies it's up to your own interpretation. Like what makes Neon Demon, Sleep Tight or Maniac horror? Is it blood? is it violence? Some horror movies aren't even scary. To me the vibe is very horror film and it talks a lot about horror movies within the film. hope this makes sense, you are welcome to your own opinion as always and love your comments.
Thumbs up if you’re a Bizkit fan too!
HELLYAH
You're beautiful
Travolta,rest in peace..nic cage has never,or ever do a worse movie.this is one big pile of shittttttt!robp
Nic Cage WOULD NEVER! XP
Whenever I hear the word “problematic”, from anyone, I cringe.
Okay thanks for the feedback
