#T. C. Boyle

[davidhudson]

Happy 75th, T. C. Boyle.

[ulrichgebert]

Die postapokalyptische, aber farbenfrohe Leseliste:

Der schöne Antonio ist der Schwarm aller Frauen von Catania und gilt als großer Weiberheld, weshalb die Sizilianer automatisch davon ausgehen, daß er auch politischen Einfluss auf die Mächtigen im Mussolini-Staat hat. Bis sich herausstellt, daß es sich um einen schlimmen Fall von sexueller Hochstapelei handelt. Ein sizilianischer Klassiker von Antonio Brancati, der nicht so viel von seinen Landsleuten zu halten scheint.

Der brillante Rotherweird-Erfinder Andrew Caldecott entführt uns in ein zweiteiliges postapokalyptisches Abenteuer mit tollen Drogen, in denen Kunstwerke erlebt werden können, Figuren aus Alice im Wunderland, wunderbaren Steampunkt-Flugschiffen und allerlei schönen Erfindungen sonst. Zwei Clans/Firmen streiten um, das wenige, was von der Welt übrig ist und trotz prächtiger Schurken ist schwer zu sagen, wer die guten und wer die Bösen sind. Ist wieder ganz fabelhaft.

Wie es mit Ripley weitergeht: Er langweilt sich ein wenig auf seinem französischen Landsitz und stiftet spaßeshalber einen unbescholtenen Bekannten an, einen Auftragsmord zu übernehmen. Was soll er auch sonst machen?

Mungo Parks historische Afrikareisen, von denen zumindest die zweite als grandiosis gescheitert gewertet werden muss, bilden die Grundlage für T. C. Boyles mit den historischen Fakten relativ unbefangen umgehenden Roman Water Music. Es ist ein Buch von denkbar schlechtestem Geschmack und ist von widerlichen, schmutzigen Gedanken, und der Titel wird Händel sich im Grabe rumdrehen lassen, sagt Salman Rushdie. Das wollte ich schon lange mal wieder lesen, um zu schauen, ob es mir immer noch so gut gefällt. Tut es.

Im vierten Buch der Hitchhiker-Trilogie kehrt Arthur Dent unerwartet auf die im ersten Teil vernichtete Erde zurück. Die Delfine sind verschwunden und bedanken sich für all den Fisch: dafür erscheint Ford Prefects Artikel über die Erde endlich komplett im Reiseführer. Es ist wieder einmal alles sehr merkwürdig.

Und weil es ja schon 3 Bücher her war seit dem letzten postapokalyptischem Unrechtsstaat, las ich noch einmal Jasper Ffordes Shades of Grey (nicht zu verwechseln...). Hier bestimmt die Farbwahrnehmung den sozialen Status. Das ist auch sehr merkwürdig, dies und alle anderen Regelungen dürfen aber nicht hinterfragt werden, sonst kommt es zu schrecklichen Schwanattacken oder schlimmerem. Das musste ich jetzt doch etwas auffrischen, weil die außerordentlich langerwartete Fortsetzung nach 12 jahren nun tatsächlich erschienen ist:

Sie macht alles ein ganz kleines bisschen nachvollziehbarer. Ich kann es Ihnen jetzt trotzdem nicht sinnvoll zusammenfassen.

fwiw as i said in the previous post conversations with friends won me over very quickly (it's not quite 100% true that i can tell within a page if i'm going to like a book - topics of conversation, which i wound up really liking, had me sort of waffling throughout the first chapter until the first chapter's end was clarifying - but it is true that i typically pick up extremely quickly on whether i think a book is well-written and i have virtually never continued reading and changed my mind - and in the cases where i did, like to some extent topics of conversation, it's to my memory been a matter of some kind of unconventional style choice i wasn't sure about; conventionally written books give themselves away almost immediately to my ear) - but the line that made me involuntarily smile to myself on the subway and thus signaled that i was really all in was "I concluded that some kinds of reality have an unrealistic effect, which made me think of the theorist Jean Baudrillard, though I had never read his books and these were probably not the issues his writing addressed."

"In unserem Leben jenseits der Literatur ist das beste Happy End, das wir erhoffen können, der plötzliche Tod im Schlaf. Aber auf unserem von Konflikten und Niederlagen übersäten Weg gibt es gelegentlich Funken der Freude. Wir müssen sie wertschätzen."

Blue Skies (T. C. Boyle)

Wenn man sich gerade im kühlen Salzkammergut mit seinen gemäßigten Temperaturen aufhält, wo die Nächte und der Schatten noch kühl sind, die Wiesen grün, wo das Wasser die Felsen herabrieselt und die Seen fast noch zu kalt zum Schwimmen sind, dann glaubt man sich in einem Paradies auf Erden. Dieses haben längst auch Investoren entdeckt und so entstanden in den letzten Jahren überall…

i was wondering your opinion on moulin rouge!? it's the only baz luhrmann film i love, every other one feels so close to something i'd like but it just never quite gets there. i think it's because the musical-aspect of moulin rouge fits so well with his extravagant directing style that meshes together in a way that it just doesn't for some of his other films.

this was prompted by a rewatch of luhrmann's the great gatsby with dicaprio. there's a wonderful paraphrased quote about gatsby's smile going like "his smile was one of those rare smiles that you may come across 4 or 5 times in life...it faced - or seemed to face - the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor."

that immediately had me saying "that's ewan's smile to a T." obviously i'm shamelessly biased for only one of the two parties here, but i might've enjoyed the movie more if ewan had been gatsby... ewan's just so good at conveying adoration to the point of delusion and maybe i would've found the movie more convincing if i had felt that way about dicaprio's smile and acting lol.

sorry for the unprompted ramble

First of all, I welcome all unprompted rambles. They’re always welcome in my asks.

Second of all, I LOVE how you took the Gatsby smile and attributed it to Ewan because let’s be real, he has the true Gatsby smile. I also find it especially interesting that, in a way, Ewan lost Danny Boyle to Leonardo DiCaprio, but no matter how hard DiCaprio tries, the Gatsby smile is an Ewan smile, not a Leo smile. It kinda came full circle, didn’t it? Let’s just say I appreciate the comparison 😉.

Third of all, Moulin Rouge. That’s where I think I’ll go full on “unpopular opinion”.

A) I’m not into musicals, especially not ones made into movies, and so far I only ever really liked one - The Phantom of the Opera. Despite that, I think Moulin Rouge, if only looked at through the movie-musical lens, is in fact rather good. I’ll be honest here, I think it’s in the second place for me. So, 9/10.

B) I cannot stand “love at first” sight stories. I just cannot, in any way, feel anything for characters who say “I love you” within like a day since meeting each other. No matter how tragic their story might be, I’m just like “ok, so what, you don’t even know her, dude”. And so, I’m really very meh about Satine dying and Christian being all “the world is ending” about it. So, story wise, 3/10.

C) Despite the popular opinion, I think that Ewan and Nicole had very little chemistry in this movie. I know they like each other off screen and that people are into that, but as far as Christian and Satine go, I felt so indifferent it’s w e i r d, cause usually I’m not indifferent to any romantic pairs on screen… So, chemistry wise, 2/10.

D) I actually did not like his singing in this movie, lol. I think it was too clear and that he has sounded way better in, e.g. Velvet Goldmine or even the Hourglass video. Hell, he sounded WAY better in GDT’s Pinocchio. So, singing wise, 5/10 (he still sings well).

I think I’ve seen about 27 Ewan movies so far, and Moulin Rouge is second to last. It used to be in the last place, but then I had the displeasure of watching The Birthday Cake.

P.S. I also am automatically less into any movies where his hair is dyed black, because, come on, he should be on the blond-ginger spectrum.

To sum up, Moulin Rouge was still OK. I think in the general pool of all movies to have ever been created it’s somewhere in the middle. But when it comes to Ewan’s filmography - he can do way better.

Notorious (1946, Alfred Hitchcock)

25/01/2024

Notorious is a 1946 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

In 2001 the American Film Institute placed it 38th on its list of the 100 best thrillers and horror films of all time, and in 2002 it placed 86th on its list of the 100 best romantic films of all time. In 2006 the film was chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress.

Miami, Florida.

The next morning the stranger reveals his identity to Alicia: he is the secret agent T. R. Devlin and she contacted her on behalf of the United States Government, to ask her to participate in a mission to Brazil, aimed at unmasking a pro-Nazi plot. Alicia, in love and eager to redeem her family's honor, decides to accept and leaves with him for Rio de Janeiro.

The agent discovers that the cellar is where the uranium ore in wine bottles is hidden.

However, he can no longer bear the torment that the role he has taken on causes him and asks to be transferred to Spain.

David O. Selznick sold the screenplay, actors, and director to RKO for eight hundred thousand dollars and fifty percent of the profits.

David O. Selznick, during the filming of Spellbound, had proposed to Hitchcock a story entitled The Song of the Dragon by John Taintor Foote. A previous film had already been made from the story, Convoy, directed in 1927 by Joseph C. Boyle and Lothar Mendes (the latter uncredited).

Hitchcock was joined on the screenplay by Ben Hecht, who also wrote the screenplay on the previous film Spellbound.

Ingrid Bergman plays the female protagonist; it was a choice strongly desired by Hitchcock himself. The actress had just played the role of Dr. Constance Peterson in Spellbound and it was therefore her second collaboration with the British director; with Hitchcock she will get another leading role playing Lady Henrietta in the film Under Capricorn.

Cary Grant plays the male protagonist, the policeman Devlin, also, after Suspicion, in his second collaboration with Hitchcock, with whom he would work twice more in the following decade: in North by Northwest and To Catch a Thief.
