Autistic college graduate who's fixated on film, specializes in the classics, dramas of all kinds, and Oscars history
The Big Picture From the beginning of his career, Caleb Landry Jones has been a dependable source of colorful characters who light up a scene. Since first appearing as one of the kids in the final scene of No Country For Old Men, he has moved on to be an important player in films ranging from X-Men: First Class to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and Get Out.
What Is 'Nitram' About? Nitram is a young man living in Tasmania, Australia, who has a severe case of bad vibes. He's a surly, rambunctious bloke who loves playing with firecrackers, trying to start his amateur lawnmowing business, and goading other people on with his behavior. His mother and father do their best to love and appreciate their son as he is, clearly having long submitted to the fact that their son will always be maladjusted.
Jones shows us things about Nitram that he couldn't verbalize by honing in on the mental limitations of the character, and how they manifest physically. The character of Nitram is based on the real-life Martin Bryant who, back in 1996, committed the deadliest mass murder in modern Australian history known as the Port Arthur massacre.
Nitram's Relationship With His Mother Is Key to the Film's Success Speaking of mother figures, the key to unlocking how the film works so devastatingly is in the relationship between Nitram and his mum, and the interplay that Jones has with Judy Davis. Unconditional motherly love is a concept usually taken at face value as a beautiful notion, but Davis's uncompromising performance suggests that it can also be an immense curse.
