Marwencol - Movie about toy collector... sort of

Newton Gimmick · 05-14-2011, 06:40 AM

The story that is presented in the trailer is that Mark Hogancamp, a former member of the US Navy, was brutally attacked one night in a bar by a gang of five guys. Mark was nearly beaten to death and suffered brain damage. He was in a coma for several days and it took him months to "recover". When he emerged, he had forgotten a lot of his past and eventually, turned to building a 1/6th scale world set in WWII, to help his recovery. It became his therapy.

I posted up a review of the movie. It's largely non-spoiler, but I do shed a bit more light on what the real meat of the movie is about. It's certainly not for everyone, but if you open your mind, you'll enjoy a very unique film about a unique man.
