Napoleon Dynamite: What’s It REALLY About?

So, it’s been twenty years since the release of Jared Hess’ breakout debut comedy- Napoleon Dynamite. On paper, this is a movie about a dorky high-school kid in a rural Idaho town who helps his best friend run for class president while looking for love and dealing with his creepy uncle. But, if I believed that was all this movie was, I’d be talking about something else- but here we are. Now, this is a movie that most everybody has either seen or at the very least is familiar with. And, while I agree that not every movie has to be some deep and robust metaphor for life and the human condition, I do think that there is an interesting angle for Napoleon Dynamite that hasn’t necessarily been explored yet. So let’s dive into it right here! For more MOVIE NEWS, visit: #napoleondynamite #JonHeder
