One Hour Photo
Sy "The Photo Guy" Parrish (Robin Williams) imagines himself to be part
of the seemingly happy Yorkin family. He's obsessed with them and has
photos of the family through the years covering almost an entire wall in his
barren apartment. Sy's boss at the SavMart (Gary Cole) discovers discrepancies between the number of prints processed and the number paid for, and fires Sy. Before Sy's last day at work,
he discovers that Will Yorkin (Michael Vartan) has been cheating on his wife (Connie Nielsen) when When Yorkin's mistress (Erin Daniels) brings in film showing the two of them together. Sy punishes
the adulterers, confronting them in their hotel room and posing them for nude
photos at knifepoint, but doesn't hurt them. The police catch him. The whole
movie has been Sy telling the police what led up to the hotel room incident.
It turns out Sy's deep-seated problems stem from him being abused as a child,
possibly by someone in his family posing him in nude/sexual photos, similar
to how he posed Mr. Yorkin and his lover.
Thanks, Lisa E!
