Match Point (2005), dir. Woody Allen

[mrmossmichael]

It's been ten years since @disney and @pixar: Cars 2 came out on June-18-2011 and let me tell ya: that's an AWESOME movie I've ever watched, I honestly do NOT care what the hating trolls says. It's about the racecar named Lightning McQueen (@owenwilson_official) and his tow-truck buddy, Mater (@gitrdonegram), who have had their share of adventures together but nothing like what they experience when they head overseas for the first-ever World Grand Prix. While Lightning has his eye on the road to the championship, Mater takes a detour to international espionage when he meets British master spy Finn McMissile (@michael_caine_official) and stunning spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell (@emortimer). #10years #disney #pixar #cars2 #racecar #lightningmcqueen #owenwilson #towtruck #mater #larrythecableguy #worldgrandprix #championship #masterspy #finnmcmissile #michaelcaine #holleyshiftwell #emilymortimer https://www.instagram.com/p/CRW5jOEF1O8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thoughts : Shutter Island (2010)

Of the numerous Martin Scorsese films that I’ve yet to see, Shutter Island has remained at the top of that list for quite some time.  Oddly enough, I’ve revisited a number of Scorsese’s other films since the release of Shutter Island, but for some reason, things never aligned personally in the right ways to drive me towards a viewing, even with ample opportunities.  After some coaxing from some close friends, however, I jumped into it, and I’ll be the first to admit that I messed up waiting so long to partake in this film.

The Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, located on the remote Shutter Island in the Boston Harbor, finds itself under investigation by U.S. Marshal Edward “Teddy” Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) for the escape of patient Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer).  The team docks on the island just as a storm arrives, sending their investigation immediately forward.  While examining Soldano’s room, Teddy finds a strange note, but his every attempt to interview staff and patients or investigate further is met with the resistance of Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley) and Dr. Jeremiah Naehring (Max von Sydow).  As the storm grows in intensity, Teddy and Chuck find themselves stranded on the island with no other choice but to investigate further, but as the investigation unfolds, Teddy begins to unravel a mystery bigger than any he intended for.

One of the many tools in the Scorsese toolkit is suspense, which he often infuses into other genres to great effect.  It makes sense, therefore, that his take on a purely suspense-driven narrative would be rich with multiple levels of interconnected mystery, be it a missing patient from an asylum in isolation, a secondary agenda in the form of a manhunt, or the mystery presented to the viewer of inconsistencies that make you question the validity of the reality you’re presented with.  Though based on a book, the narrative in the film is still presented in such a manner that the eventual turns are not obvious, which leads to a very bittersweet but satisfying payoff in the film’s final moments.

Shutter Island paints its picture with some of the most beautifully symbolic, poetic and stunning takes on post-traumatic stress and psychosis that I can recollect.  While each memory or key figure in Teddy’s life are given their own moments of reflection, many of these elements often blend with one another, and with reality, in very surreal (yet somehow direct) manners.

The use of German Expressionism and hyperreality help set the look and tone of the film, with chiaroscuro lighting, cavernous passageways and stairwells, skewed angles and shifts between rich and desaturated looks immediately putting viewers into an uneasy state of mind.  Costuming sets an easy to read visual hierarchy, with levels of madness or awareness immediately communicated by a business suit, nurse or orderly uniform, patient or prisoner uniform, or even nudity for the worst of the worst.  The military sequences are extremely well done, with their soft look juxtaposing the harsh reality the soldiers experienced, and how that display of inhumanity felt like a fall from grace into darkness.

Leonardo DiCaprio does some of the best subtle work of his career, capitalizing on the disjointed nature of the picture to counterbalance against the entirety of his belief, all the while letting the cracks show that make us question how in tune he truly is with the events going on around him.  Michelle Williams uses a soft, haunting approach to play off of DiCaprio’s manic nature, while Mark Ruffalo cleverly satellites around DiCaprio with hollow affirmations and odd expositional interjections laid out flatly.  Ben Kingsley and Max von Sydow both bring the stature and weight of their historic screen presences to their roles, which in turn sets them up as monumental figures in a world where character is often unclear.  Patricia Clarkson is a lightning rod of energy in her brief performance, serving as a sort of grounding element and centering point for DiCaprio’s character arc.  Ted Levine and John Carroll Lynch both use their imposing statures to their benefit, but each mirrors their respective leadership figure in very unique ways.  Elias Koteas, Robin Bartlett, Christopher Denham, Emily Mortimer and Jackie Earle Haley stand out in their roles as patients and inmates.

Some films make you feel foolish for taking so long to get around to them, and Shutter Island will certainly stand as a shining example of one of these films in my history.  It is the best Michelle Williams performance of her long career that I’ve seen, and for my money’s worth, it’s possibly the finest DiCaprio and Scorsese connection to date.

Newsroom Fandom...

Hi there, soooo I haven’t been on Tumblr in a while and to be honest, I’m old and don’t really quite get how this works....but I’ve recently introduced my girlfriend to Newsroom and it got me inspired.

I’m sad to say the fandom has had a lull on AO3 and FFN. I check for/read fics everyday and have written a few of my own. I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in set up a round robin or a role playing scenario of some sort.

I’d be happy to brainstorm with anyone interested. I don’t care how many people—1, 10... I really only care that it’s Will and Mac, because that’s my OTP.

Thanks ya’ll!

WIG REVIEW: MARY POPPINS RETURNS

Ok so first off: I saw this movie with my daughter (her first movie in a theater) and I highly recommend seeing it with a toddler because your enjoyment of it will improve by like 100x but also you’ll have to deal with a toddler who is afraid of animated wolves on bowls (and also figurative ones played by Colin Firth). Still, this is a kids movie for kids and my kid liked it. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WIGS? Let’s discuss. 

Let it be known that in preparation for seeing this movie, I showed the original Mary Poppins to my daughter and have now viewed it approximately 300 times. Clearly the filmmakers of the sequel did the same because they basically made a remake of it. I once coined a term for sequels that are just a rehashing of the original but with new actors - a repeatquel. This movie is the definition of repeatquel (also please make “repeatquel” happen you guys!) 

Emily Blunt is perfectly (or should I say “practically perfectly” - omg I’ve seen Mary Poppins so many times ugh) cast as Mary Poppins, an ageless sorceress who travels by umbrella or kite (depending) and can also travel between real or animated life (depending) and can speak to dogs and doesn’t explain anything. She is a supreme weirdo masquerading as a daycare employee and honestly she’s all of our lifegoals, amiright? 

There are few people who would want to take on this role and immediately be compared to DAME JULIE ANDREWS but Blunt pulls it off. Though she is basically supposed to be the same age as Julie Andrews in the first film, time has elapsed for everyone else and we’re now dealing with Michael Banks’ kids in the 30s. Michael Banks is now played by a mustached Ben Whishaw who has the very best hair in life anyway and Jane Banks is now Emily Mortimer in a very acceptable 30s bob. 

Also her hat and pants game is EVERYTHING.

Also national (American and UK) treasure Julie Walters is now the Banks maid, Ellen in a nice old lady wig. 

Clearly this production was MADE OF MONEY and for the most part, the wigs reflect this. Blunt’s 1930s fingerwave lewk is not to be trifled with and her olde timey Gibson girl lewk in this animated fever dream section is also pretty good. Also in this repeatquel, sidewalk drawings are now bowls. GO WITH IT.

Within this animated bowl fever dream, there is a section with dancing penguins and a vaudeville-like show which allows Lin-Manuel Miranda to rap (as contractually obligated?) and gives Blunt this blunt bob. This wig is better than anything sported by Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago currently. So. Good.

OH AND MERYL STREEP IS IN IT. 

I see what they’re trying to do here with this wig but.....um......I don’t know if it is succeeding in the way intended. The cut is very Theda Bera but the color is pure Lady Gaga mid-A Star Is Born which is to say: TRASH. Also I’m sure this wig cost about 200x what Lady Gaga’s cost. Also this whole song was very bizarre but I think Meryl Streep now has the right to sing whatever song in whatever wig she wants always. I’m sure it’s in her contract. 

I cannot say a negative word about Dick Van Dyke. His whole lewk is magic and my reaction to this whole part of the movie is basically the same as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s face here. But also I cried. 

OH ALSO EFFING ANGELA LANSBURY IS IN THE END! This role was written for DAME JULIE ANDREWS but she was busy making Aquaman (YES REALLY) and I will take Dame Jessica Fletcher any day of the week. The hat is really doing the work for the wig here. 

In the end, much like the film: practically perfect wigwurq!

VERDICT: WURQS
