The Trust (2016)

Nicolas Cage is an actor that either fits a role or doesn’t. When he’s ill-suited for a part, he nosedives the entire film. At first, it looks as though that’s what he’s doing in The Trust. His character is given all these weird quirks you assume weren’t there in the script. As time goes on, you’ll see. Though this black comedy isn’t overtly funny most of the time, it’s got a couple of dark turns that do make you smile. You won’t know where things are headed until it’s too late.

Police Sergeant David Waters (Elijah Wood) and his boss/friend Lieutenant Jim Stone (Cage) work in the evidence department. They’re police officers but their job is a lot of paperwork and reporting to people who don’t take them seriously. When Jim discovers the location of a hidden vault containing large amounts of cash, he asks David to help him steal it.

This is a heist movie with a simple plan. All the officers-turned-thieves need to do is drill a hole in the door of the safe from above. Slip a camera down to the lock mechanism and it’ll be easy to figure out what the combination is. Unfortunately for them, operations such as this never go the way they should, which is where the fun begins. These two are not idiots but they aren't good criminals. They’re the equivalent of people who have never played basketball before jumping into the NBA because they’ve "practiced" by watching some post-game discussions. They’re friends and co-workers. They’re close enough to trust each other but not close enough to know how the other will react when something unexpected happens.

If Cage is the wild card in this story, then Elijah Wood is the audience’s avatar. Together, they balance things well. You sympathize with David. You even want him to get away with the money because the people they do belong to… they’re thugs. Getting rich off this operation would be a win for you too, in a way. I think we all dream of suddenly happening upon a large wad of unexpected cash and getting to enjoy it by following all the advice we’ve received from mystery novels. That’s what he’s doing. As for Jim, he’s kind of sad in a way that makes him endearing. Crime probably shouldn’t pay but maybe it could just this one time? You keep wanting to give him a break because despite the things he does that are bad or wrong, he actually kind of has a knack for this type of operation. Seeing someone do something well, it’s captivating.

The Trust is the kind of movie you’ll stumble upon and be pleasantly surprised by. The ending’s a killer, the chemistry between Cage and Wood is terrific. You’ve got some laughs, some thrills and plenty of unexpected developments. It doesn’t quite leap off the screen and demand to be seen so you won’t hear a lot of people talk about it. This just means you’ll have to discover it for yourself. (On Blu-ray, April 5, 2020)

GOFUNDMES FOR LEWISTON SHOOTING VICTIMS

For those of you that DON'T know, Lewiston, Maine experienced a mass shooting on Wednesday. I am not from that part of the state, but the state is very tight knit. You're probably 3 degrees of separation from someone, maybe 5 or 6 if you're really pushing it. The suspect has not been taken into custody because they cannot find him.

These are 16 of the 18 confirmed deaths. 13 were injured. If you can donate, please donate. If you're in the state, go donate blood if you're eligible. UPDATE: suspect was found deceased. I think everyone is feeling an immense sense of relief at the news he cannot hurt another person. That being said, the community still has a lot of healing to do.

Notes:

Fantastic capture of this incredibly immersive and beautiful production. there is a bar in the bottom right corner of the screen that doesn't take away except for one moment where Gandalf and Frodo are talking on the stairs in act one, but overall I worked around it and you can always see Frodo and sometimes Gandalf. At points people are in the audience and I wasn't able to capture them but you can always hear them and I do my best to always try to make sure to capture anything in the audience that I could. Some washout and shakiness throughout.

Act 2 is perfect with no issues with my camera. Also the last US stop before a month break and then Mexico! Some washout and shakiness throughout.

[alatismeni-theitsa]

hello! i hope you’re having a wonderful day 💕 i wanted to ask if you know of, or have any literature or book recommendations that surround Ottoman Era Greece, The Revolution or the 19th century? i’ve been trying to find stuff but all that comes up is greek myth retellings it’s rather annoying 😭. if they have an english translated version that would also be superb! fiction or nonfiction i don’t mind, i’m just super keen to read and learn more about that era of Greek history many seem to overlook. Thank you so much! btw i love your blog so much.

Hello! Very sorry for being late to answer this but I was gathering books. While I have read historical articles and texts on the Revolution and the Ottoman period, they were in Greek. I will list here books I found in English, mostly by foreign authors. I checked them and they seem mostly fine (I usually try to avoid those with specific western agendas in the descriptions, and generally I am trying to show the most objective works. Please make sure to read more than one, so you can see multiple perspectives. I'm sure there will be biases here and there xD
