America is a dead fish? Harsh finish to an unnerving film.
Pretty scary film, with its only slightly veiled alignment with Bush’s environmental and immigration policies(contradiction in terms to be sure!), this uneven and fragmented film missed the mark in great film-making but hit it somewhat in its frightening depiction of the real power behind the powers that appear to be in charge in today’s politics.Cris Cooper’s character’s dysfunction with the English language was so very similar to Bush’s and really appeared pathetic in a man running for governor, but to his credit he didn’t say “nucular” one time but did have that same unfortunate impromptu speaking difficulty that Bush has when speaking off the cuff. Really embarrassing and hard to watch, just like with Bush.
Kris Kristofferson’s crusty, empire-building, power-mad, money-grubbing, Sagebrush-Rebellion character scared the hell out of me in the same way Dick Cheney does, as did R. Dreyfuss’ Karl Rove-like character. Both were excellent as the roles fit them well. Wayyyyyy creepy both, but even more scary to know that real people exist that are just exactly that way and are running our country!!!
The Huston family entry in this film was the loser protagonist, but a weak choice for the leading role due to his too-laid-back style and little boy, disingenuous big smile, plus his family’s obvious star-making push behind him. “Let’s get the boy a job” shouldn’t be the reason for casting movie leads. A more bulldogged, but younger James Woods or Richard Dreyfus-type lead would have been much more credible in the role, and probably would have saved the film. Darryl Hannah was very good in her small role as the slutty, trust-fund sister of the candidate, uselessly taking up space in life but apparently giving lots of men good times in the sack through the years.(On 2nd thought, maybe not so useless after all.)
Overall, this film made me sad and uncomfortable. Sad to know that it characterized so well the political attitudes in the American presidential office today, the very one that will make all of us suffer greatly until it is finally unseated. But, also sad that the film was not put together a bit better with the good actors and story it had. Then, it could have been as effective and as good as “Wag The Dog”.
Funny satire on Bush
A complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers. Sound familiar? It should as it is a story ripped from the headlines. Chris Cooper stars a a bumbling politician who is a tool of these interests in Silver City. Cooper could not a better impersonation of GW if her was in his skin.The real star of the film is Danny Houston of The Constant Gardener, who will be joining birthday girl, Kirsten Dunst later this year in Marie-Antoinette. He plays a failed reporter that stumbles on all the twists that start with a dead migrant.
Of course, we have the ever lovely Maria Bello and a great performance by Darryl Hannah. All in all an enjoyable satire.
