Father's Day Clip from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's DON JON
Over the weekend Joseph Gordon-Levitt released this great Father's Day clip for his upcoming film, Don Jon. The clip features Jon introducing his new girlfriend, Barabara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), to his dad played by Tony Danza. The clip came along with the following note:
Where do guys learn to treat girls like things? From their buddies? From the media? From Porn? Perhaps from their dad?
This was a great film. Some of you might enjoy it, others might find it offensive, but I recommend checking it out. It opens in theaters on September 27th. You can read our review of the film here, and watch our video review here.
Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old-fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she’s determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old-fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
