Bad movie I have Boy Did I get a Wrong Number 1966

[mariocki]

City of Fear (1959)

"You could tell them it won't wipe out the whole city. There's not enough of it, it's not a bomb. However... it will contaminate entire farms, milk, butter, eggs; get carried into markets on meat and produce, into theatres and restaurants. Get carried around by people on their clothes, on their shoes, on insects and birds, and on children. Then you'll have to describe the symptoms to watch out for: hoarse coughing, heavy sweat, horrible retching. Then the blood begins to break down, then the cells. If you merely touch your skin, the watered blood just oozes out of your pores. Finally you haemorrhage internally - blood fills the lungs. I doubt if anyone could explain that calmly to three million people without touching off the worst panic in history."

The Parallax View (1974, Alan J. Pakula)

[byneddiedingo]

The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula, 1974)

Cast: Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn, Paula Prentiss, William Daniels, Kelly Thordsen, Earl Hindman, William Joyce, Jim Davis, Kenneth Mars. Screenplay: David Giler, Lorenzo Semple Jr., based on a novel by Loren Singer. Cinematography: Gordon Willis. Production design: George Jenkins. Film editing: John W. Wheeler. Music: Michael Small.

This somewhat elliptical political paranoia thriller was a critical and commercial dud in its day, but time has been kinder to it than it has to more conventional films in its subgenre, such as Three Days of the Condor (Sydney Pollack, 1975), which looks rather slick and self-satisfied by comparison. The story, about a reporter's investigation of a shadowy company that seems to provide fall guys for political assassination, is framed by shots of a panel of judicial figures delivering their conclusion that the most recent assassination was the work of a "lone gunman." We think "Warren Commission" without hesitation. Although the main story is somewhat fragmented and the film occasionally seems rushed, there are some terrific action sequences and an overall feeling that the director and screenwriters are on to something real. The "downer" ending leaves us with that sinister panel floating in darkness, and although conspiracy theories are thicker than fleas these days, who doesn't think there might be one or two of them that have merit?

The Parallax View / Parallax Esrarı Komplo teorilerinin bayılacakları bir film ama aklı başında film izlemek isteyenlerin, özellikle de bir gazetecilik klasiği gibi haddinden büyük atmasyonlu yakıştırmayla övüldüğü bir filmi izlemek isteyenler için büyük bir hayal kırıklığı.

The Parallax View

The Parallax View    [trailer]

An ambitious reporter gets in way-over-his-head trouble while investigating a senator's assassination which leads to a vast conspiracy involving a multinational corporation behind every event in the world's headlines.

Almost fifty years old, but still an excellent political thriller. Love the tense, long stretches with no or little dialogue.

That final set piece, the large, empty banquet room conveys a very cold and distant feeling and is highly memorable.

Seeing the chimp play Pong made me smile.
