  • Darius Goes West: on a Hero's Quest
    Darius Goes West: On A Hero's Quest On a hero's quest; Filmmakers join a boy with muscular dystrophy on the trip of his life. by Karen Day Toward the end of "Darius Goes West," the young man who is the subject of the documentary states matter-of-factly, "People want to be me." Unless you are Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt or blind drunk, few of us could make this claim, but Darius is proved right by the cheering crowds waving at the wheelchair-bound teenager in this unexpected documentary. Equal parts "Animal House," and "Stand by Me," this buddy flick tells the story of 12 college-age students who contrive with great expectations and minuscule budget to take their friend from Georgia to Los Angeles to get his wheelchair customized on MTV's "Pimp My Ride." It's a comical and poignant tale. In the movie, playing at Laemmle Music Hall Theatre in Beverly Hills at 8 and 10 p.m. through Thursday as part of an Oscar bid, Darius rolls across the screen like a sonic boom with a smile, shattering the stereotype of disabled kids and embodying a genuine American idol with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease with a 100% mortality rate. To date the movie has won 20 "audience choice" awards at 25 film festivals. The film is a classic hero's tale stuffed into an RV with a dozen guys and their dirty socks. Granted, the Golden Fleece in this movie has been updated and equipped with "spinners" on the wheels and PlayStation 2, but Ulysses and Luke Skywalker have nothing on 15- year-old Darius Weems.
