| DVD REVIEW : SORRY, HATERS
|
|
Sorry, Haters.
Robin Wright Penn is probably the best actress in America. She is always in these way out sorts of movies like Home at The End of The World and I often wonder why? Well, she is married to Sean Penn.
I can't figure out how this movie slipped by any of us who love movies; it is a very good flick even if I do say so myself, especially in light of the whole issue of terrorism.
The story: Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn) gets in a cab with Syrian cabdriver Ashade (Abdellatif Kechiche). Her destination is the "burbs" where she "keys" that we later find out is her former nanny's car who stole her child and husband or so she says.
Ashade, you guessed it, is a Muslim and during the various encounters comes to believe that Phoebe can help him with a personal crisis involving his brother and sister-in-law and possibly the Department of Homeland Security.
Ashade's brother, in a typical post 9-11 world, got caught in a "suspected" terrorist plot and was deported back to Syria. Ashade supports his sister-in-law who is in the country illegally and her baby.
Ashade is a sensitive type who struggles to understand this American, Phoebe. Phoebe offers to help Ashade and suggest "they do some damage."
This is a multi-level story and to recount it in a review would be to give much of it away. Plus, it is too complicated. It deals with terrorism, Phoebe's hatred of all that is American among her many psychological problems, and Ashade struggles in a post 9-11 world. Both of them are "headed for trouble,"
but see the movie to found out more.
To watch this movie and get the full effect, watch it with about a dozen friends who really are concerned with the whole issue of terrorism and the way we are handling it. Invite friends over who are thinkers, who don't blindly just go along with the status quo. See the movie and then have a "round table." Order two or three pizzas, a sixpack or so, and don't be in a hurry.
Trust me. This is a three parachutes movie. Don't miss it.
Three parachutes. KT
