Gordon-Levitt's performance as a sage metalhead is surprisingly one of his best.
The journey of transitioning from a breakout child star to a “serious” actor is never an easy one. Some “formerly adorable” younger performers have trouble transitioning into the more mature, serious roles, as they must prove themselves in a completely new and different style of acting. The challenge is even greater for young actors that were as overexposed as Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Metalhead Stoner Helps a Young Boy Mourn Hesher centers on the struggling young boy T.J. , who struggles to connect with his father Paul in the wake of his mother’s death. Paul isn’t an abusive father by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s had a hard time moving on since his wife’s departure. He’s utterly disengaged from any sort of normal human interaction other than therapeutic group circles he forces T.J. to attend each week with him.
There are certain moments where Hesher feels like he’s prompting T.J. to make decisions. The time he spends with his new mentor prevents him from attending group therapy with his father, resulting in a tense argument between the two. It’s clear that T.J. understood that the miserable grieving sessions weren’t doing his father any good, and his misadventure with Hesher simply gave him the opportunity to finally admit that it wasn’t the right path for either of them.
T.J. is infuriated when Nicole and Hesher have an affair, but again, this is something he would have had to learn for himself eventually. Nicole is sweet and enjoys spending time with him, but she doesn’t need to occupy the traditional role of either his mother or romantic partner. A similar revelation occurs when T.J. attempts to trade in money for a stolen car to give to the foreman Larry . Larry refuses to take T.J.
