Reader Reviews
This review is from: Thinner (VHS Tape)
Thinner is one of those extreme short novels by Richard Bachman, a.k.a. Stephen King. The film is well done, faithful and definitely full of rhythm, even if the format (length) makes the chase a little bit short. It reveals how perverted our society is. A judge, a lawyer and a chief of police conspiring to save the skin of the lawyer in a road accident where he was entirely responsible and under the influence of the alcohol and overeating of a celebration. But there is a moral in this society, even if it comes from the gypsies, one of the ethnic groups that is most severely and racistly rejected. And this justice if a justice of curses and God. When a rejected group is the victim of an injustice, God, even if it is a sombre and unidentified God, gives them the power to impose their justice through curses that reveal the real nature of the good local notabilities of the city, society. The lawyer will die by losing weight, the judge will become a scaly lizard and the chief of police with just rot away and finally shoot himself. They die by the very attribute of their professions: the lawyer fattens on the crimes of society, the judge is basking in the sun of his power to pronounce life or death sentences unchallenged, even if he needs a jury from time to time, and the police chief can do what he wants because he has the absolute power of firearms in his hands. But the film reveals,like the novel, the cynical ugliness of a wife who causes the death of the old gypsy woman for the satisfaction of her personal sexual pleasure, the famous Clinton's cigar, a long time before any White House caper on the subject. When she finds out that she can no longer dominate her husband, she will just cast him away with the help of the family doctor, her lover, into an asylum, called clinic. Nice middle class family morality. But the end is even more gruesome. The lawyer will try to revert the curse, and will succeed with the help of the maffia, quite natural fiends, but he will kill his wife and kill his daughter with the same stone. Bachman, as opposed to King, will push the gruesomeness to the end of its craziness and kill the lawyer, a suicide this time, and the family doctor, a real vengeance this time, as the punch line. Gypsy justice is definitely pungent and tasteful. We would like that kind of justice to be just a little bit more present in our life to get rid of all the hypocritical bigots that govern us.
