Good Biopic, A Bit Long
An unprecedented look inside the private world of J.D. Salinger, the reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye.I didn’t know very much about J. D. Salinger, and frankly was not a huge fan of “Catcher” (though perhaps I should revisit it). That being said, this was an interesting look at a literary giant. I loved the WWII aspects, and I had no idea about Oona O’Neill; her relationship with Chaplin is legendary, but Salinger, too? The film’s biggest weakness is that it could probably be trimmed by a good thirty minutes. Much of the running time is focused on actors commenting on Salinger and his work. I understand that they provide a name to help ell the documentary, but their opinions dob’t really have any value if they never met the man.
Impressive breadth
My Friday Video recommendation: Saw this recently and I was impressed. I’m not sure if it was the film or if it was the story of his life (which I did not know). I suppose, for either reason, my liking it was a nod to the filmmaker. What is most impressive about this film is its breadth. It takes you from his youth, through his service in WW II and after and it weaves his life and the writing together, all in the context of the history of the 20th century. It does a really good job of putting you into the mood of the moment as it moves you along, letting your thoughts and feelings evolve as you discover more and more as it happened. It also seemed to take you on a mental journey similar to what people must have thought of him over the years; from when he was fresh and just published–what a sensation–and how that must have changed over the years as we learn more about the man and who & what he is inside. The filmmakers talked with hundreds of people–people of stature and those from his personal life–and shot hours and hours of interviews and conversations to put it together. The film does not adore him and it does not vilify him; or perhaps it does both. I could have lived without some of the “dramatic reenactments,” but I suppose they filled the visual scene while the narrative unspooled. If you have read “the book” and ever wanted to learn more, or if you have an interest in Salinger, I do recommend this.
