The Peanut Butter Falcon (花生醬獵鷹的願望) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Zack Gottsagen, and Dakota Johnson. The supporting cast include John Hawkes, Bruce Dern, Jon Bernthal, and Thomas Haden Church. Peanut Butter Falcon was the highest grossing independent film of 2019.
Shia plays Tyler, a fisherman of sorts who's having a hard time in life after the death of his brother. Zak, played by Zack Gottsagen, has down syndrome and is currently living in a elderly hospice type place. Tyler lights a fire to rival fisherman and is now on the run. Zak successfully escapes his confines and hides on Tyler's boat. They eventually make a bond and go on the run together. Zak is looking for a professional wrestling school in Florida. They are in Georgia. Eleanor, played by Dakota Johnson, was responsible for Zak and is sent looking for him. Eventually, all three meet up and go on the same adventure.
This was one of my favorite films of 2019. I saw a trailer and it looked super interesting. I was not disappointed. The acting was very endearing and the setting they were in was quite interesting. Being a Los Angeles native, seeing that part of the Georgia was quite interesting.
Shia and Zack had such a good bound in the movie that it was quite easy to follow their adventure.
In the description, it was mentioned that this was a modern Huckleberry Finn retelling. Having read Finn 30 plus years ago, I didn't remember the concept, but go figure.
I caught this film via T-Mobile Tuesday Redbox promo.
