Ever since back then, Floyd has been hearing voices in his head, voices that eventually drive him to kill his noisy neighbour (Joshaway Kingsbury). Eventually, Floyd finds Johnny in a suitcase, and to his surprise Johnny starts to talk to Floyd - and he knows much more about Floyd than Floyd's comfortable with. But is Floyd now going completely insane, or could this be a first step back to his sanity ...<p> <p><b>Johnny</b>'s quite a fascinating film, as it doesn't tell its story in a straight line but uses a more associative approach to things, and at times jumps back and forth in its own timeline to create often unexpected relationships between its story elements - so much so that the film occasionally seems to re-interpret itself. But that's not done to merely confuse the viewer but actually gives a good insight into the main character's state of mind, letting one see his distorted view of reality. And John Charles Gerald the director gives John Charles Gerald the lead actor enough space to breathe life into his character, who succeeds in making Floyd a relatable oddball, and a solid center of a rather unusual and nevertheless enjoyable movie. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2021"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
