The Last Picture Show (Bogdanovich P.)
As the void that unravels the crash of a bomb, so the characters Bogdanovich Americans live their lives in the moment. They have lost the compass of the heart, the sense of true, chasing the greatest sin: the fatuous love. It is a succession of mistakes, wrong choices, made by young people and paid now as an adult. Choices of love. Love? Where is the love in these pseudo-marriages? Organized and planned as best?
There was no policy in those "choices": Become husband or wife for convenience, to hurry, for fear to be alone or to a desire to look like the others, but never listening to his heart, ever. So where is the love?
Bogdanovich's America is that of disgruntled housewives frustrated and disillusioned, disinterested and uncaring husbands who do not have no time to accompany their wives to the doctor, where everyone is made for her, neighbors and yet miles away , in their retreat. Where is the communication or the simple pleasure of standing in silence next to each other?
"on this team lacks foundation" ruling a man in one of the last bars. Yeah, that's true, there were no backing tracks, lacking the heart to those couples, and his absence now pay with unhappiness, loneliness, with regret, the desire to go back.
The bomb was talking about has left a void somewhere, now I can see it, gutted and withered equality Union = Love, transforming it into a coherent whole, Marriage: institution created to establish, stress, mark, give prominence to the bond of happiness, but is now only a shell, a barrier under which these men and women seeking refuge from reality by living in deception, making a shield with it, placing it as a facade. But you know, a side not there is only one, it's easy to turn and to discover the truth. Truth that there is no hope to find complete happiness in that void, however what you find in a sea of \u200b\u200blies? The only pure
was Sam the Lion, the only one he has not soiled in that bath of lies. He loved a girl, were perfect, is completed, but nothing came of it, she was already married, he had already linked to that bond of pure hypocrisy.
Bogdanovich portrays the America of yesterday - which, alas, although to a lesser extent also in that goes well today - Maverick liege of an obligation, a duty, a word created for love, but now his tomb, which has established only one thing: unhappiness. There will wander discontented and tormenting his characters, into the vortex of a cyclone that swept away any remaining innocence, purity. Sam is dead and with his love, now you are giving the last performance.
cast the show: the beautiful
Cibyll Shepherd, a young Jeff Bridges , the wonderful test Cloris Leachman - rightly awarded the Oscar - the dreamy Ellen Burstyn? But most of all to Ben Johnson phenomenal the Lion, was the least the Oscar. Now I have an incredible desire to read the novel.
