We have often written on this blog and in recent years, on film. We talked or BERGMAN ANTONIONI , two great masters of cinema history. I would add, the "existentialist cinema" with the caution that there is, to express the existence of an "existentialist cinema."
There are other directors, other artists after two demiurges uncommon.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button directed by David Fincher with Brad Pitt in the title role and Cate Blanchett defies critical taste.
But after reflection, I thought that this slow film inspired by the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a huge reflection on love , immortality of love , the ephemeral and lightweight of a human life, of love as perhaps the long process of maturity that leads both be love to meet single in a life after the mistakes of youth narcissistic, the mistakes of youth in search of love Big Love, a youth who suffer from the contradictions in his torn between the game of love and his quest for happiness deep.
This huge reflection is spiked with a story and facts that stimulate our invraissemblables vraissemblable intelligence to find what lies beyond these facts ... Then reread the previous paragraph (in bold).
ago, on the other side of the scale, the most stunning scenes that cinema can create today. An example. It is already late in the life of Benjamin, the man to reverse the biological clock. And suddenly, after an ellipse of two to three years, here in the shadows: young Brad Pitt. Not as young today as young in Thelma and Louise, there eighteen years. It is a technological feat, but dedicated to romance, leaving any room for magic tragic that such a youth causes at this stage of history - Benjamin himself is terrified.
It was a good movie to bear fruit for some real opportunities dizzying false offered by digital technology. Brad Pitt to give back to his adolescent face ... Maybe, but why bother? David Fincher's film transcends by its lyricism, any effect gadget. The news of Francis Scott Fitzgerald seems to have waited for decades in the majors cartons that to better inspire today this majestic epic.
In the original text I once read, the old man is born with, therefore, size and intellect of an adult. The film offers an extremely clever variant: the baby Button, born at New Orleans in 1918, has wrinkled skin, but also characteristics and therefore the size of a normal newborn. In other words, the film further complicates the finding of Fitzgerald, layering multiple ages on Benjamin.In the nursing home, another successful innovation of the screenplay, directed by her adoptive mother when he grows up, it looks like other residents in his white hair, his glasses and his crutches, but, as tall as three apples, it plays to lead soldiers. Impossible, however, know when the actor Brad Pitt is involved or how precisely the composition of this hybrid creature. The superposition
old / young is extended throughout the narrative, the expressive power of multiplying each mutation physical and mental health. Around age 20, when he still has more or less the appearance of senile gnome, Benjamin discovers a sexual energy that has baffled amazement at the brothel on the corner: this is indeed puberty, but irradiating the body of a senior. Under his supernatural tale trappings, the film is so haunting echo and the flickering of the current pyramid, the widespread denial of biological fate.
Hollywood in particular, more than ever the capital of youth without end, for better or for worse, is the heart of his madness with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The couple's romantic film, Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt, she and her older chronologically, in reverse, the screen goes all stages of the cool to decline, or vice versa. This is troubling, as they undergo edits evoke those made elsewhere, and quietly, in other films, on both photos, by simply refusing the passage of time. For the stars, only authorizes the fiction, strictly speaking, aging.
Finally comes the moment when the two characters, old girl and the old old man, have the same age, that of love . The actors are so natural to, maskless digital fine idea carnal chapter coincides with the unveiling of the true flesh of interpreters ... But already the counters will start again in opposite directions. Benjamin Button, this is not the myth of eternal youth . Surreal sophistication of the argument leads to the familiar experience any of the ephemeral and lost. And this is how a blockbuster high-tech managed to bring forth such a great melodrama, melancholy heartbreaking farewell.
Another film in which the talents of three performers allows the film to escape the theatrical context that could threaten: La Maison du Lac , a film I had seen in 1981 at age 16 and I've seen pleased this year with a mature man of 44 years. Film by Mark Rydell from a screenplay by Ernest Thompson from his play.
Norman Thayer Jr.
and his wife, Ethel, returning once again to Golden Pond to spend the summer. Norman, who will soon be 80 years, awaiting the arrival of Chelsea, their daughter. When she arrives, he shows, as always, bitter to it ... The film is a sensitive study of the relationship between a father and daughter, La Maison du Lac allows Jane Fonda to play against his father, Henry. " I told my father in the film, she said, all these things I had never dared to say in life, bits of sentences that were hidden deep within me and do you always keep the memory of those who gave you life. "The entire film rests on the exceptional relations that bind the one hand, Jane Fonda's father, the other the husband Katharine Hepburn Henry Fonda, mingling relationships filial affection, friendship and nostalgia for years gone.
