Bigger Than Life
Schoolteacher and family man Ed Avery (James Mason) has been suffering bouts of severe pain and even blackouts. He becomes dangerously addicted to cortisone, transforming him from a mild-mannered man into a tyrannical, psychotic despot, exploring themes of addiction, the American nuclear family, and the dark side of the "miracle" drug era. Really enjoyed this film James Mason put on a great performance as Ed which we feel bad for his character cause of his illness but when he starts taking the cortisone drug he starts to become an a\*\*hole to his wife and son but at the same time he’s going through all the side effects that the cortisone does to him. James Mason not only starred in the film but also produced it. The film was directed by Nicholas Rey who directed “Rebel Without a Cause” which I also loved and enjoyed. I think this is a very underrated masterpiece of a film.
