A Film That Holds Water
|
| An interesting yet sad allegorical story set in the depression era by David Mamet. There is some truth simmering underneath a plausible plot. THE WATER ENGINE stars William H Macy as Charles Lang who invents an engine that runs entirely on water. When he tries to get get backers to help him patent the engine, he finds himself in a web of deceit,threats, betrayal and murder. There is no happy ending in this film because the minute he tries to reveal his invention, everything snowballs to less than positve results. Any help Lang tries to obtain, there seems to be a network of law enforcement to media (i.e. newspapers) that can't or won't help him. The point to the story is obvious as the power of the oil and auto industry are entities not to be reckoned with and that sometimes (or most of the time) the little man will lose to the big corporations. |
