Mad City (1997)

I love a final confrontation in which a muscular hero blows the villain into a thousand pieces but sometimes I want more. Although the story Mad City tells is pretty obvious and you've likely seen it done before, probably better, it still works. It's a thriller whose solution to the final conflict can't be found at the end of a gun barrel, and a critique of broadcast news. It's tight and intense.

Max (Dusting Hoffman) is a has-been TV reporter who witnesses a disgruntled employee (John Travolta) take a group of schoolchildren hostage inside a museum. Literally in the middle of the biggest story the town's ever seen, Max begins influencing the gunman to his advantage.

There are a lot of individual pieces to keep track of and they’re all moving independently but also influencing each other. Max is not a likable character at first. He has little empathy for those around him, he's bitter and ruthless. Say what you will about his tactics and the way he not only endangers lives but arguably makes the hostage situation worse, he's an expert at what he does. You keep your eyes fixed on him because he knows the ins and outs of the TV reporting business. He always asks the right questions, knows where to put the camera, who to interview and what to do to make this “simple” hostage situation into a layered story. His character arc is predictable and obvious but entertaining and there's more to him than it seems at first.

While the strange game of chess is being played inside the museum, a lot is taking place outside. Everyone reporting the story is trying to act nice. They’re all pretending to be professionals, but the news people are snakes. Max isn't the only one who will embrace underhanded tactics, cut deals, fudge facts, or destroy someone's life to get the scoop. Though characters approach the realm of cartoon villainy, you can see and understand how they validate their actions. You’ve got Max trying to do one thing within. You’ve got the reporters on the outside taking a completely different approach because they don’t know the situation like the people on the front line do.

As time passes, the situation gets intense. The machinations of Max and the other reports keep you intrigued, as do the unveiling of the characters' true personalities. The plot compels you to keep watching. Have we seen scenarios like this before? Yes. That doesn’t make it less enticing. As the plot continues, your attitude towards the players will keep changing. Are you siding against Max? For a time, but that will change. Then you may suddenly find yourself on team Sam, then against him, and so forth.

Why anyone decided to call this film Mad City, I've no idea. It's neither memorable nor particularly evocative of the plot. While down the line I think anyone who sees this film will find a better version of it somewhere, in the meantime, it works. (On DVD, February 19, 2015)

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.

#Repost @justafanoffilm with @repostsaveapp ・・・ 15 years ago today, "The Hills Have Eyes" was released in Canada, the UK, Ireland, and the US (March 10, 2006). .
