Cine: Tony

Ni hace falta decirlo, David Beckham es una figura icónica del fútbol mundial: jugador del Manchester United, del Real Madrid, de Los Angeles Galaxy, del Milan, del Paris St. Germain y, por supuesto, de la Selección Nacional inglesa, lo suyo fue siempre el más alto perfil; además, se casó con Victoria Adams, miembro de las Spice Girls. Pero para Jess (Parminder Nagra) es mucho más: es una inspiración, una pasión y una obsesión. Ama al fútbol y persigue el sueño de convertirse en una jugadora profesional. Sus dotes naturales, que le permiten unirse a partidos amateurs con los chicos del barrio, la llevan al radar de un equipo de chicas, acompañada de su nueva mejor amiga, Juliette (Keira Knightley) y comandado por Joe (Jonathan Rhys-Myers). El problema es que su nuevo hobby no es del agrado de su familia hindú, por lo que el esfuerzo requerido para cumplir sus objetivos será supremo.

Tony (Ameet Chana) es el mejor amigo de Jess. Un muchacho sensible y fiel cuya cercanía con la chica es tanta que muchos aventuran que entre ellos hay una relación que excede la mera amistad. Aunque sí se profesan un gran afecto y respeto, lo cierto es que la realidad indica otra cosa: a Tony, según se lo confiesa, también le gusta Beckham, aunque no sólo como jugador.

Esta es prácticamente la única escena utilizada para confirmar su homosexualidad, algo que el muchacho, proveniente de la misma comunidad de su amiga, oculta a su familia. A lo largo de todo el metraje de "Bend It Like Beckham" (o "Jugando con el destino", según su título latinoamericano, o "Quiero ser como Beckham", de acuerdo con su denominación española), la directora Gurinder Chadha juega con la idea social de que, para quienes conocen las aficiones de Jess y Juliette, todas las jugadoras de fútbol son lesbianas. Chadha indaga en cuestiones como el feminismo, la cultura hindú, las opresiones sociales y los prejuicios de una manera divertida y amena, apta para todos los públicos, logrando una obra que, sin buscárselo, ha alcanzado un lugar destacado entre las películas que conjugan romance y deporte.

Review : Bird Box (2018)

This holiday season, my timeline on Facebook blew up with talk of the new Netflix original offering, Bird Box.  With so much buzz going on, and my ability to go catch Vice or The Favourite on the low level, I figured I’d be part of the buzzing masses and check out Bird Box for myself. 

Malorie Hayes (Sandra Bullock), an artist dealing with a single pregnancy, is on a routine check-up with her older sister Jessica (Sarah Paulson).  The pair are aware of a mysterious suicidal epidemic that has manifested in two countries, but are shocked nonetheless once the epidemic hits their location.  In the ensuing chaos, Jessica is killed, and Malorie is rescued by Tom (Trevante Rhodes), a stranger.  Tom, along with police officer Lucy (Rosa Salazar), make their way into a home owned by Greg (B.D. Wong), who is hosting numerous survivors : Douglas (John Malkovich), whose wife died in an effort to help Malorie, along with Charlie (Lil’ Rel Howery), Felix (Colson Baker), Cheryl (Jackie Weaver), and fellow expecting mother Olympia (Danielle Macdonald).  As the group attempts to assess the threat and survive, they must not only navigate the danger outside of their doors, but the threat that they pose to one another.

The way that the film sets out the immediate rules and stakes at what is probably the most harrowing moment of the film is highly effective, as it allows you to watch the characters learn and become stronger, increasing your emotional investment.  The fear of an unknown and undefined threat taking control of you and those close to you is a unique choice for protagonist, but it also makes anyone a possible enemy.  With such high stakes and unidentifiable danger, the reserve of the characters is put to test, displaying the notion of ‘desperate times call for desperate measures’, and even with best efforts, the threat continues to find a way in.  I have to give it up for Netflix, as they’ve really put a lot of money behind science-fiction dramas, an apparent niche production market for them.

Malorie Hayes is effectively portrayed as an independent spirit put into the ultimate role of responsibility : a new mother in a survivalist situation.  As mentioned before, the threat is undefined, but putting a spiritual/mythic spin on it makes part of each character’s battle a personal one, as if inner-demons are in the mix.  The fact that media is part of the way the threat travels may or may not be a dig at social media and how it’s effecting us as a society.  I did find the use of GPS questionable, but maybe with it being a satellite-based system, I can let that slide.  Watching Malorie step up to the altruistic plate is interesting because of the fierceness she brings, but it is very much on her own terms, as she refuses to name the kids anything more than Boy or Girl.  On a personal note, Douglas got a big chuckle out of me with his ‘making the end of the world great again’ statement, both due to its timeliness and its very logical ‘better them than us’ mentality.

In terms of production value, the visual representation of the madness taking over worked very well for me, as well as the later representation of barely visible pursuing darkness.  The vast, diverse ensemble cast came together and interacts with one another very well, providing lots of emotional and social dynamics to take in.  When this is put next to the fact that many characters poised to be important are swiftly removed, choosing characters to get behind becomes an emotional process.  Malorie becoming a physical embodiment of motherhood tenants works well for the narrative, as ‘do as I say’, keeping children on a tether and the overly protective nature of motherhood become vital aspects of survival.  Using the birds as a symbol for hope echoes the similar biblical symbology quite well.   

Sandra Bullock displays all of the versatility we’ve come to know and love from her, but more importantly, she brings a sense of validation to the entire affair.  Trevante Rhodes brings the brooding sense of strength through solitude that makes a leading man, showing promise that he could possibly handle bigger roles in theatrical releases in the near future.  John Malkovich does all that he can to portray himself as despicable and unlikeable without becoming a caricature.  Lil’ Rel Howery continues his streak of playing truthful in horror films, bringing a sensible and realistic approach that grounds any situation.  Danielle Macdonald balances an innocent nature with a dangerous naiveté that seems slightly connected to motherly instincts kicking in.  Tom Hollander ushers in new doom with such sinister sweetness that it terrifies to the bone.  Appearances by Jacki Weaver, Colson Baker, Rosa Salazar, Sarah Paulson, B.D. Wong, Happy Anderson, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and David Dastmalchain round things out.

Slowly but surely, Netflix is becoming a viable alternative to the modern day box office.  I’m still not convinced that Bird Box would have been a hit as a theatrical run, but if it garners more interest from the public that what’s currently in theaters, I think they can consider that a win.

#Elementary Live Tweet: 6x21 Whatever Remains, However Improbable "How far would you go for YOUR partner, folks?"

221Brownstone + 221A Baker Street

The official Season 6 Joan Watson action figure will come with surgical mask and hairnet...

When we thought this really was the end... we decided we simply had to see the bees again.

How far would you go for YOUR partner, folks?

How amazing are Jonny and @LucyLiu?

This Lord's problem is another case from canon.  Google away!  [The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor]

This is one of my favorite songs.  I've listened to the Stone Roses A LOT while writing Elementary over the last six years.

Case of the week

A very special thank you to the incredible Desmond Harrington.  Season 6 wouldn't have been the same without you!!

Agent Malick is, of course, played by the remarkable @parmindernagra  We were so lucky to have her join us!

Jeff King has the missing square

Denny is played by Dan Butler, an actor I adore.  Fun fact: He also acted in my first produced hour of television, playing an alien named "Steth" on Star Trek Voyager.

.@JeffreyPaulKing I forget -- who killed Michael?

Uh-oh.  Not the name you were expecting, right??

Ooh.  BIG scene here, folks.

I love the music in this scene so much.  So dark, so intense, so perfect.  Thank you Sean Callery!!

["I think there are certain crimes which the law cannot touch and which therefore, to some extent, justify private revenge."]  This is a quote from canon.

Behind the scenes

Hey everyone.  Rob Doherty here.  Thanks so much for joining me and Jeff.

A confession... when this episode was written... we thought it was the series finale.

It was the 13th episode of last season.  We didn't know if there would be more, and we didn't want to risk not having a true end for the show.  So we tried to wrap everything up in our 12th and 13th episodes.

And then 8 more were added.  And so we tried to come up with stories that would fit BETWEEN numbers 11 and 12.  So if you're wondering why Michael had to disappear for a while... now you know!

That was a special cameo by George The Dog, loyal friend of the amazing director of this Elementary episode (and many others), Christine Moore.

This garage was FREEZING.  I was there that day.

That guy was loosely based on my Dad, who I'm pretty sure would help me dispose of a serial killer's body if I asked.

Jeff and I are exactly where we belong tonight.  WITH YOU.  So thanks for joining us.

Jeff and I will be signing off in a moment... but just to be perfectly clear... Elementary WILL RETURN.  We're already filming episodes.

And that's a wrap for Season 6.   We can't thank you enough for spending your Mondays with us.  We don't last this long without you.

Until the next time... we're more than just partners.  We're people who love Sherlock and Joan and Gregson and Bell.  Good night!!!

Season 7

[Lin, Alfredo, Ms. Hudson, Kitty] I can guarantee the return of at least ONE of them.  Maybe we'll see more before all is said and done...

[Gregson, Bell] Absolutely!!  We do this together, or not at all.

[Kitty in London?] Ain't tellin'!  But wouldn't that be amazing?  Ophelia is the absolute best.

[NYPD or Scotland Yard?] Why not both?  :)

England is hard to beat.

[Will Joan become a mother?] An excellent question.  It's something we'll address in the season premiere.

[Will Sherlock become a father?] Isn't Sherlock sorta Clyde's father??

We'll have you crying again before you know it.  :)

[Jamie Moriarty] You never know...
