The Great/Depressing Depression
Given that we often hear a rather idealized version of the Great Depression – it seems like some people go so far as to treat it as the “good old days” – it’s important to understand just what things were like back then. Hector Babenco’s ultra-downer “Ironweed” does that. Jack Nicholson plays drifter Francis Phelan, who returns to his home town (where he hasn’t been in years) and traipses around it, seeing the poverty prevalent throughout the Depression. He deals with his own demons and sees whether or not he can start up a new life. But he can’t escape the reality of the status quo, or of his own past.

Watching this movie, you may feel like you’ve just been drug through a gutter. But one must wonder how much better things are nowadays. For how terrible the Depression was, it helped our country understand not only abject poverty, but what caused the Depression. In this era of air-heads slacking off and using as many resources as possible, I wonder whether or not we might be headed towards a new kind of Depression. If so, then the movie warned us.

Anyway, I recommend this movie, but understand that it’s a total downer. Also starring Meryl Streep, Carroll Baker, Michael O’Keefe, Diane Venora, Fred Gwynne, Tom Waits and Nathan Lane.

tour de force
If you wonder why Meryl Streep and Jack Nicolson became famous as superstars, this movie will demonstrate why. These two people probably provide enough acting genius in this movie to blow out a major cineplex. Tom Waits also turns in a suprisingly good performance. If you want to see what two mature master actors can do with a rather depressing story, set in a world grimier then Cannery Row and with out the genius of Steinbecks’ writing, but nevertheless excellent, rent or buy this film. It is a masterpiece.
