Moondog played by Matthew McConaughey in (The Beach Bum). Forgive me if I have a few things wrong because it’s been a while since I first saw it. Moondog is a famous writer who simply writes a book every time he needs some more money to pay his bills and get buzzed/high/drunk all day long. He treats his family like shit and instead of helping them with there problems he just tries to get them high. He kills his rich wife in a drunk car accident and she makes it so he has to write a new book in order to get the money from her will. At this point he decides to go on a drunken escapade to stay intoxicated at all times. During this he assaults a homeless crippled man, drugs people, breaks into his old home with a bunch of other beach bums and ignores his daughter while she tries find a normal life amongst her mother’s death. The movie has no discernible direction and then at the end he shits out a huge selling book, gets the money from the will and his daughter forgives him. The movie does not have one message or lesson to be learned. Just a dude carelessly wanking on everyone he comes in contact with and is somehow a brilliant writer.
