pathologic characters as movies i’ve watched

if your question is, “why didn’t you put x movie as y character?” the answer is probably, “because i don’t remember that movie”

Dirty Pretty Things

[kevrocksicehouse]

In the Maltese Falcon, Mary Astor was a grifter who worked in deception like a sculptor in clay. A few other women who made men play the sap:

Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve. D: Preston Sturges (1941).  She’s a con artist looking to fleece millionaire/ophiologist Henry Fonda until she realizes she’s in love with him. Then she tries to con him harder.

Glenne Headly in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. D: Frank Oz (1987). As an heiress targeted by rival con artists Michael Caine and Steve Martin, Headly is a perfect mark – but things aren’t always what they seem. If that’s a mild spoiler it’s worth it to see how she works.

Annette Bening in The Grifters. D: Stephen Frears (1990). She’s a down-on-her-luck con artist (her last partner went nuts) looking to come back by courting up-and-coming hustler John Cusack and crossing paths with his possessive racing tout mother in this dark story from a Jim Thompson novel.

Pam Grier in Jackie Brown. D: Quentin Tarantino (1997). Jackie is a flight attendant and part-time cash smuggler for a gun dealer (Samuel Jackson). When she gets busted and he thinks she’s a liability she has to con both him and the cops, with the help of a lovestruck bail bondsman (Robert Forster) in one of Tarantino’s most overlooked (and best) films.

Amy Adams in American Hustle. D: David O. Russell (2013). Adams is a grifter who poses as an English Aristocrat “Lady Edith Greensly.” When she and her partner/lover (Christian Bale) are caught by the FBI and blackmailed into helping with a sting operation to ensnare corrupt politicians. Luckily the agent running it (Bradley Cooper) is as dumb as he is unprincipled. Which is pretty dumb.

DIRTY PRETTY THINGS (2002)

Dirty Pretty Things 2002 yılında, The Queen filminin yönetmeni Stephen Frears tarafından yönetilmiş olan bir İngiltere yapımı dram, gerilim ve suç türünde film. Baş rollerde; 12 Years A Slave filminin yıldızı Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Davinci Code filminde rol almış olan Audrey Tautou ve Hotel Rwanda filminde rol almış olan Sophie Okonedo var. 

Konusuna gelince; olay bir otelde çalışan vizesiz ve vatandaşlık hakkı bulunmayan işçiler arasında geçmektedir. Otelin şefi bu işçilerden para kazanamaya çalışanları bularak düşük meblağlar ve  bir pasaport karşılığında onların organları almaktadır. Aynı otelde çalışan ve memleketinde doktorluk yapan Okwe’den artık onların işini yapmasını isteyince Okwe ve şef arasında tartışma yaşanacaktır. 

Sıkmadan ilerleyen, ilgi çekici ve bazı sebeplerden dolayı ülkelerinden kaçmak zorunda kalan gariban mülteci insanının başına gelen garip ve korkunç olayları bir nebze olsun aktarmayı başarmış olan bir filmdi. Fİlm için puanım 7.
