The Fanatic (2019)

Introduction
"The Fanatic" is a psychological thriller movie released in 2019. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson and written by Fred Durst, the motion picture stars John Travolta and Devon Sawa. The film was criticized for its heavy-handed portrayal of autism spectrum disorders and the stalker trope, however Travolta's performance was usually popular.

Plot Summary
The movie rotates around Moose (John Travolta), an autistic guy who is a dedicated fan of movie stars. Regardless of his dedication to his idol, action movie star Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa), Moose lacks the social abilities to approach him appropriately, resulting in uncomfortable and aggravating encounters. When Moose gets a book signed by Hunter, he ends up being incredibly disturbed when Hunter refuses to personalize the signature and shuts down their encounter quickly due to an individual matter.

Continued Obsession
Undeterred and sustained by his strong enthusiasm, Moose continues to attempt and get near to Hunter. He utilizes an app supplied by his paparazzi pal, Leah (Ana Golja), to locate Hunter's home in Hollywood Hills. His preliminary attempts to approach Hunter here are also rebuffed, causing an escalating series of occasions that push him even more into fixation and erratic behavior.

Tilt towards Violence
Moose's thirst for personal interaction takes a turn when he burglarizes Hunter's house throughout a journey the actor takes. He enjoys his time checking out the star's private area, too carried away to understand his actions are inappropriate. His activities in Hunter's place intensify from safe to terrible, and ultimately, the distressed fan begins to perform violent actions. When Hunter returns all of a sudden, Moose knocks him out and ties him up, refusing to launch him till he receives the interaction he craves.

Climax
In spite of Hunter trying to totally free himself, Moose remains undisturbed until Hunter's maid, Dora (Marta Gonzalez Rodin), finds them. In the taking place struggle, Moose inadvertently eliminates her, scary him and marking a climactic point in the motion picture. When the authorities are alerted of Dora's missing report by her son and appear at Hunter's home, Moose leaves a seriously maimed Hunter and manages to leave.

Ending
The motion picture concludes with Leah telling the story as a part of her graphic novel, explaining how Moose was forgotten and limped back into obscurity, while Hunter, despite the fact that physically and mentally scarred, never stopped shining in his splendor as a super star.

Total Review
The Fanatic looks into the dangers of obsessive behavior and how fandom can often cross the line into invasion and violence. It faces audiences with the uncomfortable truth of stalking and fascination fueled by celeb culture. While the narrative is stuffed with stress and thriller aspects, the film's portrayal of autism spectrum conditions has actually undergone criticism. Despite the combined evaluations, John Travolta's devoted performance as Moose stood out, demonstrating his versatility and depth as a star.
