The past can be a difficult thing to face, and in the documentary “BRATS”, Andrew McCarthy tackles his past head on.
Through interviews with other members of the “Brat Pack”, McCarthy explores the impact that being part of this group of super famous, but very young, movie stars had on their lives.
While some viewed being labeled part of the “Brat Pack” as a negative influence on their careers, others found it to be a positive experience.
It is interesting how the documentary serves to chronicle a journey towards acceptance of the past that I believe we all go through, particularly in middle age. With the films of the “Brat Pack” all having such an influence on Gen X, this doc is part nostalgia, part behind the scenes, within a truly emotional story of how the perceptions of others can frame our perceptions of ourselves.
Was Andrew McCarthy’s career derailed by being labeled a “Brat”, or was this all in his own head? Why have others like Rob Lowe and Demi Moore managed to have wildly successful careers despite being a part of this group? And more importantly, who declined to be a part of the documentary?
It was quite an enjoyable watch and I recommend checking it out - or just check out this episode for my “review”!
