For Every Mood, There Is A Movie
|
One of the best I've seen in a long time. While filming is beautiful from the start, it took a little while for me to be sure I was really on board with the characters. Hackman is so prickly in the beginning, and Pacino's scarecrow solilique ("The scarecrow makes 'em laugh..") had me wondering. By the time they get thrown in the house of detentions, you're thinking what a nice guy Pacino is and how unreasonable is Hackman.. who ends up on a pigfarm. What a reverse the film suddenly takes after that! Suddenly, Hackman's stand-offish ways seem to make a little more sense!
But sure, Pacino was the charmer. Hackman was also interesting in his own loyalty and focused determination. One or two scenes may have been a bit over the top (Hackman strip-teasing in that greasy diner to show Pacino he's not gonna get in another fight?). Still, this movie was a real work of genius. It seems to teach something: Pacino's art of defusing a potential situation (the scarecrow) and Hackman's determination - or as it would manifest in his life (outside of his dreams) - too ready for a fight. The movie is a character study and a study of human nature. Both sides of the coin are represented in these two characters and I could respect the way it ended (remember the last scene? if I was gonna choose one scene to represent Hackman's character, that would be it!).
The substantial slice of their lives which the film gives us is enough to chew on. It's like the story has told us what it wanted to, and then it ends. Perhaps all the details have not been ironed out, but the essence, the "message", or something like that, has been given. Ending it where it did, while not answering all the questions pertaining to the specifics in their stories, leaves you to figure out what the real story is. |
