El editor de libros (2016)

Es extraño cómo una película como El editor de libros, en cuyo reparto podemos encontrar a Jude Law, Colin Firth y Nicole Kidman ha tenido tan poco éxito. El tono y el ritmo de la película, así como tocar un tema tan poco de moda y alejado de la modernidad como la figura de los correctores en la literatura. Si además la trama se centra en Thomas Wolfe, un personaje nada atractivo para congeniar…

X-Men: První třída - když čtvrtý díl přebere nový režisér (Matthew Vaughn)

Žádná akční řežba. Žádné hloupé dialogy sesmolené někde na koleni a napsané na umaštěný papír. Matthew Vaughn se pustil do zfilmování populárního „marveláckého“ komiksu a stvořil bezpochyby ten nejlepší díl.

ear for eye

“specifics matter.”

“before i try to understand” i feel it is imperative to start this with the knowledge that i am a white, middle class – some could say privileged, i tend to stray from that can of worms – twenty-year-old female. all of this has, undoubtedly, but more importantly i feel – subconsciously – altered my perspective of what i had heard was meant to be a five-star show, well my first question is: were we all watching the same thing?

i spotted six people fall asleep… and that was just in the row below me. these people were most likely, like me, waiting for something better to happen. personally, that experience doesn’t warrant one star, let alone five.

but maybe i’m missing the point, maybe i’m just not letting them “finish.” i understood, whole heartedly that part 1 is depicting the same stories with different people to show that as a society we have not progressed away from racism half as much as we think or hope we have in both the uk and the usa. the common theme of hands and mouth symbolising the need for both words and action, or in most cases the demand for neither in order to stay safe; i appreciated seeing this on a stage, i really really did.

i read somewhere lately that you can’t understand if you’re not represented; and this show represents the reality of police brutality and prejudicial racism in both the uk and the usa and i thought that was brilliant. but, i didn’t understand the execution of such ideas. because it felt like they’d been executed by a-level drama students. the show – like some of its characters – comes off as “being seen to be doing something.” and that unsettled me, i wanted to feel more, even if that feeling was a subconscious guilt to my own privilege, instead i felt bored and confused.

there is no denying debbie tucker green has done a spectacular job at cultivating language. the complexity and consistency of language being used as both a weapon for and against change was harrowing, it created an ongoing battle of ownership of language.  

despite this confusion and boredom there are some moments of pure beauty; most of which come in part 2. however, part 1 gives us a character who had me feeling something for the first time in the show – empathy. i in some way could relate to a character who was hindered by disability and his confusion felt real, and raw to me. this inclusivity of the death community was briefly revisited in part 3 which satisfied me greatly. it didn’t feel, as most often it can, that disability had been included to meet a quota, it felt included because it was necessary to depict the reality that racism, like disability does not discriminate and learning where to put your hands is just as important if you have full hearing or none.  

part 2 gave me the line that resonated with me throughout the rest of the evening and has made me ponder well into the night “you have it [9 lives] and you don’t even know you have it.” the underlying tone of – you’re white therefore you wouldn’t realise it, is perfectly placed. the show at the this point has shifted to a new form of a somewhat clearer narrative set of a teacher – demetri goritsas – and his african american student – lashana lynch – ferociously arguing over a school shooting carried out by two white boys on 17 of their black classmates. as serious as this sounds, and is, this part of the show was carried by comedic stabs from both actors on stage. taunting each other to give in, by the end you’re not entirely sure who’s ‘won’ this argument, and that feeling of being lost within it may come from the elongated time they spend on stage subsequently sending certain audience members to sleep.  

if you were to ask me “where do you put your hands?” i could only, honestly reply under my chin in order to prevent myself from falling asleep and that felt, or feels, like a great shame for this show is pocketed with beautiful moments, but as a whole did not excite me, or leave me wanting more.
