Pecker is a fictional comedy-drama film that stars Edward Furlong as Pecker. Pecker is a movie about a photographer whose pictures of everyday life become an overnight sensation. Pecker is a photographer who lives in Baltimore and takes pictures of his out-of-the-ordinary family, friends, life and places throughout the city. One day he decides to host an art show (photography) in the deli where he works and this is where his life totally changes. As he is hosting the show he meets an art dealer from New York known as Rorey Wheeler. After Rorey buys one of Pecker's pieces, she invites him and his family to New York to help him get known in the art world. However, as soon as he becomes a sensation problems start to arise and his life takes a turn for the worst. His friends and neighbors become enraged with his photography and Pecker gains bad reputation among his neighbors. Nevertheless, the exposure to fame caused Pecker to get overwhelmed because he could not live the normal life he once lived, so he decides to turn down a big showcase at the Whitney Art Gallery and decides to makes things right.
Although this movie is fictional, I believe that there are many photographers that have gone through the same. Pecker is a photographer who becomes an overnight sensation and that's how many famous people have been discovered. Therefore, this movie is based on reality. It portrays the struggles that a photographer can go through when they photograph things that does not please the public.
In the photograph above Pecker is taking a picture of one of his subjects inside his mom's thrift store. This picture focuses on Pecker and the camera that he his taking pictures with. In this scene it seems that everything is blurred out and darkened except Pecker. This boldness creates the feeling that Pecker is the only important character in this scene and must be payed attention to. Although this movie may be funny to some viewers, it doesn't fail to convey the message that photography may not always be interpreted the same way as the photographer.
