English Summary:
The Man Without a Face is a 1993 American drama film starring and directed by Mel Gibson, in his directorial debut. The film is based on Isabelle Holland's 1972 novel of the same name. Gibson's direction received positive reviews from most critics.
In 1968, Justin McLeod has been living an isolated existence as a reclusive painter for the past seven years, following a car accident that left him disfigured on the right side of his face and chest by burns sustained in the post-crash fire.
Young Chuck Nordstadt endures a dysfunctional relationship with his sister and their widowed mother. One day, Chuck meets McLeod on a ferry. Chuck is both intrigued and slightly scared of him. Chuck needs a tutor to help him pass a military academy's entrance exam. Eventually, Chuck persuades McLeod to become his teacher. While he is initially baffled by McLeod's unorthodox methods, the two develop a close friendship.
Chuck keeps his daily meetings with McLeod a secret in order to avoid being scorned for associating with a disfigured man whose past is shrouded in mystery. No one knows much about McLeod and few people have ever made an effort to know him. As a result, McLeod has become the object of gossip, speculation, and suspicion.
Hungarian Summary:
Chuck elhatározza, hogy katona lesz, ám szinte folytonos harcot kell folytatnia a tervét keményen ellenző anyjával, illetve állandóan gúnyolódó féltestvérével. A fiú számára a döntés azzal jár, hogy szinte az egész nyarat végig kell tanulnia, ám mivel erre egyedül nem képes, segítség után néz: így ismerkedik össze a város szélén, teljesen magányosan élő, rejtélyes extanárral, Justin McLeoddal. A férfi körül borzasztó legendák keringenek, mivel egy évekkel ezelőtti szörnyű autóbalesetben a fél arca összeroncsolódott és így mindenkitől elzártan, "hamburgerképű"-ként a környék pedofíliát és tömeggyilkosságokat suttogó pletykái által elszigetelve kell élnie a mindennapjait. A kényszerűen egymásra találó, meg nem értett és a száműzött ember először csupán a tanulásra szorítkozó kapcsolata lassacskán túllépi a megszokott tanár-diák viszonyt és alakul át őszinte barátsággá, melyben Chuck és McLeod már nem magányosan, hanem egymást segítve néz szembe sérelmeikkel, sebeikkel és az őket megérteni képtelen környezetükkel...
