Bronson

Synopsis: In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.

All my life I wanted to be famous.

Want to know what I have done better

I had a vocation.

Only I did not know which one.

Not yet.

I could not play.

A sort of choice of nature ....

The film is based on real facts

How could I explain it?

I was raised normally,

My parents were decent ....

They were honest citizens.

Complied by society.

I went to school.

I tried not to disappoint them.

But some kids liked problems.

Son of a b*tch!

lot of problems.

Michael.

Mrs. Peterson I must tell you about the behavior ...

I was not wicked.

I was not evil "villain.

I still have my principles.

I took the first job that I should have fallen under the hands ...

Holds up potatoes,

Peterson.

I guess the situation

was not so bad.

Madam. Peterson?

We would like to talk to your son ...

Michael.

Michael Peterson?

That's me.

Ah. Before I forget, I came to the world as Michael Peterson

But I am known by my nickname:

Charles Bronson.

Who is my alter ego.

1974.

difficult time for the British youth.

No chance of love around.

However ...

You'll be out in four years.

Funny is not it?

I always wanted to be an actor.

Seven years ...

It's very long.

I'm not going to stand here and tell you ...

... You say ... That the prison is not a "folly".

No.

It would be wrong to represent me and I think enough things like this have already been made!

Not true!?

No.

You see, I do not see prison as a cage, a "box"

For me it was a hotel room

Do not understand wrong ...

For the majority of people ...

The prison is very hard.

With monotonous nightmare

for 24 hours a day.

Seven days a week.

365 days a year

nothing from a symbol of life.

breathing ... Hell.

But for me ...

The prison was a fun

where I could show other talents ...

improve my skills.

It's like a battlefield, you see?

It was an opportunity ...

... In a place where soon everyone will know my name.

What was there, Charlie?
