Members -felipe- Posted August 30, 2007 Author Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 In the Valley of Elah Bottom Line: Another eloquent' date=' sobering assessment of the State of the Union from the director of "Crash." By Michael Rechtshaffen Aug 31, 2007 Paul Haggis has not only avoided the dreaded sophomore slump, butthe director and co-writer of the Oscar-winning "Crash" has returned with another bona-fide contender. Ostensibly a murder-mystery set against the backdrop of the war in Iraq, "In the Valley of Elah" is a deeply reflective, quietly powerful work that is as timely as it is moving. Further graced by an exceptional Tommy Lee Jones lead performance that would have to be considered one of the finest in the 60-year-old actor's career, the Warner Independent release is getting a little preliminary festival exposure at Venice and Toronto before opening in limited engagements on Sept. 14. Strong word-of-mouth should ensure that the film plays well into awards season. For those not up on their Old Testament, "In the Valley of Elah" refers to the place where David slew Goliath. It's an apt metaphor for the battle undertaken by Jones, as a grieving father fighting his way through a bureaucratic quagmire in search of the truth, and by the young men and women who are facing insurmountable odds of emerging physically and/or emotionally unscathed from an increasingly controversial conflict. Jones' Hank Deerfield is a former military MP who receives a call that his son, Mike (Jonathan Tucker, in flashbacks) has gone AWOL after returning from active duty in Iraq. When the elder Deerfield shows up in Albuquerque, N.M., to conduct his own personal investigation, it's subsequently discovered that his son has been a victim of foul play. In his efforts to find out what really happened, Hank initially butts heads with Emily Sanders (a no-nonsense Charlize Theron), a recently promoted police detective who is fighting a couple of battles of her own -- against the close-knit military brass, and for respect from her colleagues, who make unsubtle intimations about her relationship with her boss (Josh Brolin). As Hank stubbornly soldiers on, Emily eventually lends her support. As the two begin to piece together the events that led up to Mike's disappearance, Hank is also forced to take stock of his own belief system. In part an adaptation of a Playboy magazine article by Mark Boal called "Death and Dishonor," the Haggis version is an eloquently written portrait of a man clinging to logic during a time of confusion and turmoil. With equal amounts bravado, anguish and, ultimately, remorse filling the crevices of his world-weary visage, Jones never has been better; Theron also effectively portrays the multifaceted dimensions of a single mother and small-town detective whose tough exterior conceals a considerable amount of vulnerable self-doubt. Making the most of the few scenes she has, Susan Sarandon is affecting as Jones' dutiful wife, while Frances Fisher does likewise as a bartender who provides Jones with some valuable leads. Production values are equally accomplished, from cinematographer Roger Deakins' stirring visual compositions to production designer Laurence Bennett's tarnished Americana to Mark Isham's achingly poignant, string-laden score.

Members -felipe- Posted September 13, 2007 Author Members Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 By Aaron HillisIFC News [Photos: LAbove, Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee Jones in "In the Valley ofElah"; below, Paul Haggis, Warner Independent Pictures, 2007] The irony of Oscar-winning writer and director Paul Haggis("Crash," "Million Dollar Baby") making a U.S. military drama with anonpartisan approach is that he may be the most polarizing filmmakersince Michael Moore. Whether you find his to be the work of an astutehumanist or a middle-brow manipulator, "In the Valley of Elah" hascertainly grabbed people's attention, and it surely doesn't hurt thatHaggis has roped in a triple threat of award-winning actors. Tommy LeeJones plays retired Army sergeant Hank Deerfield, a Tennessee patriotand loving husband to Susan Sarandon, whose soldier son Mike hasreturned from Iraq. When Mike suddenly goes AWOL from the base, Hankheads to New Mexico to try to track down his boy with the help of alocal detective (Charlize Theron). I chatted with Haggis briefly aboutthe film and the fiery debates his work has inspired. It seems like everybody is making an Iraq film these days. What prompted yours? It was 2003 when I started researching ["In the Valley ofElah"], when I started looking at images online that were being postedby some of the troops in Iraq, and I found them really disturbing.These are kids, 18 or 19 years old, making their own home movies andputting them up there like our kids do on YouTube. They were gettingaround the Pentagon censors somehow, and you'd see them cut to somesong like "We Will Rock You" — the first few images would be fine, thestuff that we've seen on the nightly news: laser-guided missilesblowing up buildings, tanks rolling by, men shooting heavy machine gunsat enemies they can't see. And then this image came on of a young boy —who had obviously made the video — hugging a burnt corpse by the sideof the road, and putting a hat on it. I thought, "Wow." Just goofingoff like kids would do, but my god, what's happening here? Thatparticular video didn't last long online. [laughs] But I found more andmore of these pictures, and I started asking these questions: What'shappening to our men and women? Then in May of 2004, I found thisarticle by Mark Boal about a father who goes searching for his son whohad gone missing. I was so deeply moved that I knew I had to dosomething about it. What do you want audiences to take away from the film? I can't ever really guess that. What I try to do is posedifficult questions, and then hope people will talk about it. I don'tknow what the conclusions will come to, but I think [about] if we hadto face those pictures of the dead that our troops have to face everyday. — maybe we could make a better decision about whether this is ajust war or a corrupt endeavor. We can make up our own minds. We have a really wily government that has convinced us thatthese images are too disturbing to see, and we have a media that hasagreed because they think — correctly so — that you're not going to buytoothpaste after seeing a headless child on the news. So, we're justnot seeing these things, and that's wrong because we're making [other]men and women face these horrors. The reason we can't understand [theU.S. soldiers] when they come home and the reason they're having a lotof problems is because there's a huge disconnect between them and us.That's why I made a film that I hope is political without beingpartisan. It doesn't say, okay, you're smart for having opposed thiswar, or you're stupid for having supported the war. This is our sharedproblem. We're all in this, but now we have to see what's happening toour troops who are returning home with these terrible, terrible scarsand deep wounds that are just evident on their faces. We have to lookat what they're facing every day. Did you ever feel that you'd neglected any responsibility by not putting your personal point-of-view in the film? No, I have a responsibility to take myself out of it, I think.It's pretty easy to figure out where my leanings are. If you go online,you can find out I was demonstrating against the invasion ofAfghanistan, for chrissakes, so you can imagine how it was with Iraq. Ifelt that I'm too easy to dismiss; who wants to see that point of view?What you want to see, what I hoped, is the point of view of a man likeHank Deerfield, who we can all point to from the left or right and say,that's an American. We may not agree with his politics, but we knowthat proud man. I thought I should tell this story through his eyes,through the eyes of the G.I.s, the returning men and women who justwant to be heard. For all the research I did, and I talked to manyveterans who were active duty soldiers, they kept saying over and overthat we're not hearing what's happening over there. If we see what theysee, like WWII, that there are horrors, [maybe] it's worth it. Or wecan look at those same things, and say: "You know what? It's not worthit." But at least they're informed, and the truths are much moreinformative if, while they're in it, it's haunting them. What do you think about all the right-wing political bloggers who are up in arms about this movie without having seen it yet? I don't. There are always stupid people out there. Anyone whocriticizes before seeing it or reading the script is just a moron. Youdon't try to convince people who can't be convinced. They have apolitical agenda. They don't want to see what's going on. I would tellthem, don't talk to me. Don't see my movie. Just go find a veteran andask him or her what's going on, and listen. Don't try to judge fromyour own point of view. I tried not to judge these characters. I putmyself in their places, and I don't know what I'd do. I'm notinterested in what bad people do and the wrong decisions that are made.I'm interested in what good people do and the right decisions thathaunt them forever. If these people can put themselves in that sameplace and say, "Oh yes, well I would make the morally correctdecision," then they're horses' asses. Having written (and directed one of) back-to-back Best Picture Oscarwinners, do you feel pressure to keep the bar set high when approachingnew projects? I guess it's difficult for me to take meetings these days because myhead is so huge it's hard to get through the door. I have to make surethere are double doors so I can get in. [laughs] You just continue todo things you feel passionate about, and you use those Oscars andnominations to reassure people. This was really hard for me because in2003 and 2004, we had a president with an 80% approval rating.Democrats and Republicans alike were driving around with flags on theircars in Santa Monica, where I live, which is like the most liberalplace in America. [laughs] So it was not easy to get this film made.They look at those awards and go, "Well, we didn't understand 'Crash'and 'Million Dollar Baby,' and Clint's the only reason that succeeded,but okay. We don't understand this one either, but those films mademoney and awards, so maybe this one will make money, too." So I guessthat helps a lot. The hot debates surrounding "Crash" are suddenly being dug up again.What's your reaction to those accusations that "Crash" panders toliberal guilt by accusing its audience of being racist? Well, I like to disturb people. I think I succeeded because a lot ofpeople are really disturbed by what I do. That makes me feel great. Whowould want to do a film where everybody says, "Hey, nice job. I wonderwhat comes next?" If people are still disturbed by this two or threeyears later, I'm thrilled. I think the concern is more with the means than the content itself. If you had a particular point of view and an axe to grind, wouldyou necessarily always say, "I'm blank, this is what I feel, and thisis what I'm going to criticize"? You never hear things straight out.Someone will come up with all sorts of justification to why they hatethings. Oddly, 99% of the audience didn't hate ["Crash"] until it wonOscars, and then people were outraged, especially for me. Well, Ididn't vote! [laughs] I'm sorry, I never said it was the Best Pictureof the year. It's a ridiculous thing to judge one picture better thananother. I like the Oscars, don't get me wrong. I'd like to get more ofthem. People felt betrayed because they loved ["Brokeback Mountain"],and they felt outraged that I somehow boondoggled people into votingfor mine. Well, I left the country six weeks before because I couldn'tstand the P.R. machine. I went to hide and write. I'm a Canadian, Idon't promote myself; I don't like it. Of course it stings, but this is the business we have chosen. My job isnot to be liked, but to make films that are provocative. If I stopdoing that, then people should hate me. I would much rather be loved orhated than just go down the middle of the street and have people say,"Oh yeah, he's a nice filmmaker. He's okay." I think people will bevilifying me for all new things: it's too subtle, or whatever. Therewere two articles about "Crash" that I felt were just hysterical. Onewas an opinion piece in the Washington Times,I think, and it was called "Why the Left Hates 'Crash'". Then a monthbefore or after that, I can't remember which, another article in someliberal-ish rag was titled "Why the Right Hates 'Crash'". I knew I wasdoing something right.

Members ferreple Posted September 15, 2007 Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Calls for Charlize boycott 13/09/2007 22:46 - (SA) Cape Town - Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee Jones' latest movie In the Valley of Elah is to open in the US on Friday amid calls from some war supporters to boycott the actors as it is believed to be "anti-US" and "defaming US soldiers". The film, directed by Oscar-winning Crash filmmaker Paul Haggis, is based on a real 2003 case involving the stabbing death of Iraq war veteran Spc Richard Davis after he returned from battle. Surrounding the case were allegations the victim witnessed war-time atrocities, and the convicted perpetrators suffered from extreme stress disorders that were downplayed by officials. In the movie Tommy Lee Jones plays the role of a former military police investigator trying to find out why his son was brutally murdered, whereas Charlize Theron plays a police detective who helps in the investigation. 'Bin Laden cinema' According to a news report on Wednesday in USA Today, conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel labelled it "Bin Laden cinema" and called for a boycott of the actors. On her website she wrote: "the movie defames our troops as murderous, drug-addicted, prostitute-patronising thugs who torture wounded Iraqi civilians for fun and sport." The conservative NewsMax.com also categorised the movie as an "anti-war, anti-US flick". However, according to USA Today some military bloggers such as SgtStryker.com and PTSDcombat.blogspot.com, have praised it for highlighting issues that are front-and-centre in military communities. Jones told US Today he was not intimidated by the criticism, saying he is "so ready for a fight he doubts there'll be much of one". "The tactic of leading people into a war that doesn't make any sense by telling them they are under attack, and if they raise any objection they're unpatriotic, is a very old tactic. And it doesn't intimidate me," he said. Charlize Theron was quoted earlier as saying that she hoped the US troops in Iraq could return home soon. While promoting In The Valley of Elah at the Venice Film Festival, the Oscar-winning star told the BBC: "Nothing would give me more joy than to see them back in America. The soldiers are doing a very, very important job and it's a dangerous one. "Hopefully they can come back and be looked after, that's the least we can do for them."

Members Mr.max Posted December 14, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 bem eu gostei muito desse filme mais tem uma parte que eu achei muito interessante é quando ele bota aquela bandeira velha no final do filme . O cara fala "essa bandeira é bem antiga né" e o ator principal fala " não ela só estar gasta! Pelo menos o que eu entendi é que os estado unidos já estão cansado com aquela guerra sem fim. E que precisam de ajuda, pois fala que quando a bandeira esta alcontrária é por que algo aconteceu e a nação precisa de ajuda. pois bem eu vi e gostei muito e aconselho a todo a verem. E gente alguem fala com o busch para acabar com a quela guerra ridicula.Mr.max2008-05-10 21:13:51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
