Desolate past, present and future portrayed in modern-day movies
BvCHEILADOWNEV
Movies of 1978 included assorted fads, biographical and historical sketches and a wide spectrum of comedies. The current fads included a renewed interest in science fiction, the adventures of ventures and nail-biting thrillers. The lives of Buffalo Bill and Sarah Bernhardt were relied in biographical movies. Mel Brooks took a step off the beaten track with his almost constant "Silent Movie," and some successful foreign comedies were critical successes.
According to the science-fiction films of 1976, the future is bleak. "The Man Who Fell To Earth" is a chilling picture about a catyred man, David Bowie, who comes to earth from another planet in search of water for his home planet. If he returns to his home planet he becomes comparable to a James Dean lost-boy myth. The movie is a tragic political allegory about the failures of society and their effect on man. "Logan's Run," another sci-fi-fi, says we will be living in opaque, hermetically sealed domes in the midst of devasation.
AS THE FLAMING Zeppelin came to a disasterous crash, so does the movie version, "Hindburgburg," a re-enactment of the famous tale and its personal taste and fails to pick up the extreme necessary for a disaster picture. Ignoring the happiness of the passengers below, the wreck and the blood behind leaves the audience in a state of emotional limbo.
"The Man Who Would Be King" is a farfetched adventure fantasy about two roughneck con man, Sean Connery and Michael Cain. The movie was inspired by the multilateral advertising drama Gene Shalt called it "flat-out entertainment with a headlong story and-bread-crunching action." An emotionally rich tale set in western-adventure story, "The Return of a Man Called Horse," with Richard Harris. The surge of elation comes from the spiritual rebirth of an Indian tribe. This story, set in Indian India, has a starting optimistic vision.
THRILLERS OF the year include John Schlesinger's "Marthon Man," which seems more intent on making people sick with excitement and suspense. The movie is also based on cross-cutting of the scenes takes away the suspense, and the only emotion left is revulsion at the brutality and general unpleasantness. "Killer Elite" is Sarn Amor, a former student who has been called claustrophobically excited. Peckingipah said it was "airless, an involuted corkscrew vision of the modern world." Brian de Palma's "Carrie" is a terrifying, lyrical thriller. The tone is very real, and in that it combines comedy, horror and tension.
Paul Newman re-enacts the life of Buffalo Bill in "Buffalo Bull and the Indians" with age lines of make-up and a white haircut. What is it sometimes used for, how it is sometimes fed by wish. This is not
about the differences between the white man and Indian; it is about their different dreams. "The Incredible Sarah" is a portrayal of the famed silent movie queen, Sarah Bernhardt, and is played well by Glenda Jackson.
"MIDWAY" is a movie about the world War II battle and stars Robert Mitchum and Charlton Heston. It is a noisy, flag-waving drama about a group of young soldiers during the battle and the consequences.
"Silent Movie" is another just-for-fun Mel Brooks flick with intermittently funny jokes and a fairly good plot. "Car Wash," a new movie about a dog, is equivalent of junk food. According to Pauline Kael "It has no more class than a Hosten Twickle and it, too, may make you gag a little." It is recommended for people high in quality films.
It seems the foreign comedy films have outdone the domestic ones this year. Francois Truffaut's "Small Change" is a poetic comedy about little children thats genuinely funny. It is a series of sketches of people in their own unexpected toughness. Their faces are vivid illustrations of the trusting innocence and transparency that adults lose.
In retrospect the year in film seems disheartening. A desolate future is seen in the science fiction films, a grim past in "Midway" and "Hindgenburg" and a confused present with "Killer Elite" and "Marathon Man."
