Heilpraxisnet- Movie Tip: „The Naked Man "- the organ man“

What happens if a therapist uses his manual skills not to heal the patient but to harm his fellow human beings? This is the theme of the film „The Naked Man“ or in the German translation „ The organ man“ to. The chiropractor trainee Edward Bliss is a father and has just reconciled with his parents when they are struck by a bloody robbery. Edward, who has not noticed that his pregnant wife Kim is still alive, is severely escaping from the crime scene.

He returns to his wrestling hall, which he had recently decided to leave at the request of his wife. He had fought as a wrestler in a skin-colored costume of organs, muscles and bones. Arrived in the hall, he enters the ring without being asked in his costume and combines his chiropractic skills with his wrestling skills to the detriment of all his colleagues, some of whom suffer severe physical injury, but sometimes only back pain. Towards the end of his performance, which is acclaimed by the public despite the brutality, he still gives a pathetic speech in which he advocates the treatment of the body as a whole (contradictory: reduction to the spine) and advises against drugs and alcohol distance to take.

After leaving the hall, he continues his mission to search for the murderers of his family and uses his skills again, for example, in a rocker pub to carry out bodily harm and explain his views. Director J. Todd Anderson, who has already contributed to the storyboards of the Coen brothers and the film „Fargo“ plays a small role is with „The organ man“ An absurd entertaining movie that succeeded the theme „Medicine without medication“ original and unconventional tackles. Right at the beginning, there is a dispute between Edward and his father, a pharmacist, about the topic of medication and the way in which Edward sets out his views, which are repeated in the film.

Anderson has taken up the subject of treatment or personal injury in a film that is somewhere between the Coens and Robert Rodriguez and is not a real highlight, but offers a guaranteed entertaining DVD evening. (tf, 02.02.2011)
