I’m not going to talk about the film as a film because, it seems to me, a pointless exercise. We all know the story. Painful, bitter, shattering. What we didn’t know, what we couldn’t even imagine is what was in Joe Paterno’s heart in mind. Now we have a plausible, profoundly human version of it, in Al Pacino’s eyes. I saw a decent man of his generation confronted by the new approach to decency. I saw in his eyes a sort of resignation, the kind of resignation suffered by the decent man who knows he’s guilty. Al Pacino is still breaking ground, still at the vanguard of his own profession. Hurrah !
Paterno yes, but the movie couldn’t decide where to go from there
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this. Focusing on a figure in a scandal that isn’t the perpetrator, a witness, and attorney or a victim seemed odd to me. There are so many different players in the Sandusky scandal and the movie attempts to peripherally include some of them, while omitting others. Yet even those included are there solely for background noise. I’m not even sure why they case the female reporter in the movie since her involvement wasn’t contemporaneous with Paterno’s. But I guess every movie needs a young female heroine.Acting was excellent, and I feel that that was Levinson’s whole purpose for the movie. One last crack at some award for both he and Pacino. But I just didn’t feel like I got anywhere. Even the ending seemed like a “oh crap we’re out of material, let’s throw something outrageous in at the end” moment. Thank goodness this was just an HBO movie and I didn’t pay anything at the box office.
