Snow Falling On Cedars

Summary: In 1950, amongst a wave of post-war Japanophobia, fisherman Kabuo Miyamoto (Rick Yune) is accused of killing fellow fisherman Carl Heine (Daniel von Bargen). One-armed veteran Ishmael Chambers (Ethan Hawke) covers the case.

Pretty but meandering legal drama that focuses more on white characters than Japanese ones. Hawke completely superfluous to plot.

Rating: 2.25/5

Sugar (prod. Sam Catlin).

A hard-boiled Colin Farrell stars as a rather oddball cinephile of a private detective with a heart of gold in what is eventually revealed to be a bizarre genre mashup of a television series blending everything from pulpy crime tales to a sci-fi drama set in Hollywood. It's almost impossible to discuss the show and its quality without the episode six twist of who Farrell's John Sugar really is in one of the more baffling revelations not shared until far too late in the series' run while being teased at every turn.

FILM REVIEW; Snow Falling on Cedars: Prejudice Lingers in a Land of Mists

''Snow Falling on Cedars'' is an almost heartbreaking example of what can happen when a filmmaker becomes so overawed by his source that he confuses dramatic storytelling with the production of mammoth coffee-table art books. Bathed in deepening shades of snow-lit Prussian blue, this screen adaptation of David Guterson's popular 1994 novel is admirably high-minded and visually gorgeous but fatally anesthetized by its own grandiosity.

Frame by frame the movie, directed by Scott Hicks (of ''Shine'') and filmed by Robert Richardson (the virtuoso cinematographer behind several Oliver Stone movies), isn't just a series of shots but a sequence of exquisitely balanced photographic compositions. The piling on of so much visual beauty, however, only contributes to the sense of the movie as a frozen artifact cut off from the real world and designed to be viewed from behind a glass casement.

There's a lesson here about the aesthetics of mass-audience movies. Pretty pictures, as nice as they may be, are finally no substitute for a living, breathing screenplay. And ''Snow Falling on Cedars,'' like many an elegant coffee-table book, has a skimpy text (by Mr. Hicks and Ron Bass) that too often substitutes distilled, poeticized oration for everyday speech.

Hardly a moment passes when we're not conscious of the movie's messages about tolerance and forgiveness being shoved in our faces. Even when they are delivered by an actor as gifted as Max von Sydow, playing a defense lawyer who is the movie's official conscience, ''Snow Falling on Cedars'' rings with the hollow boom of a Sunday school sermon.

Perhaps the biggest mistake in translating the novel to the screen was to have the film imitate the book's intricate flashback structure. Flipping back and forth between the present and the past on the page is one thing. (It encourages your imagination to make leaps and allows you to take whatever time you need to bridge those transitions.) But when a movie does the same thing, the imagination is short-circuited, and there is hardly time for reflection. The film is so busy darting back and forth between past and present that from scene to scene its characters barely have time to breathe.

There are also far too many lingering close-ups of haunted faces. And a surreal montage that harks back to the early films of Alain Resnais (specifically ''Hiroshima, Mon Amour''), brings the movie to a dead halt. This might have been a coup de cinema in another film, but here it seems narratively evasive.

The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks from the 1950 murder trial of Kazuo Miyamoto (Rick Yune), a young Japanese-American accused of killing a fisherman on his boat off the coast of the fictitious San Piedro Island, north of Puget Sound. Most of the events are seen through the eyes of Ishmael Chambers (Ethan Hawke), a morose young reporter covering the trial for the local newspaper. Many years earlier Ishmael and the defendant's wife, Hatsue (Youki Kudoh), were teenage lovers who met secretly in the hollow trunk of a cedar tree deep in the rain forest. The affair ends when it is discovered by Hatsue's mother, who is vehemently opposed to interracial relationships.

The film's strongest scenes look back to World War II when the island's Japanese-Americans were interrogated, rounded up and sent to internment camps for the duration of the war. The murder trial revolves around the bitterness surrounding a land deal on which Kazuo's family defaulted while imprisoned. During the trial, the prosecutor (James Rebhorn) blatantly appeals to the local whites' lingering anti-Japanese prejudice in speeches that play on the racist stereotype of Asians as treacherous and inscrutable.

As the movie jumps back and forth in time, we meet Ishmael's late father, Arthur (Sam Shepard), the crusading local newspaper editor who stood up to the anti-Japanese hysteria that swept the community after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Nine years later Ishmael, poring over evidence in the case, decides to strike his own blow for truth and justice.

''Snow Falling on Cedars'' may be dramatically inert, but it is well acted, and it succeeds in sustaining a mood of spellbound reflection. The endless swirling snow, the blue-lit fog and the rain forest with its dripping evergreens evoke a brooding interior landscape where memory and reflection loom solemnly over the present.

But even this mood is undermined by James Newton Howard's bombastic score, which suggests the romantic minimalism of Michael Nyman encrusted with heavenly vocal choirs. The overwrought score is the final lethal touch in a movie that buckles under the weight of its own pretensions.

''Snow Falling on Cedars'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has sexual situations.

What’s funny to me about James Cromwell playing an officer of Law And Order in a superhero movie is THIS;

It's so weird seeing James Crownwell playing a cop when he's like... the furthest thing possible from a cop in real life

[tnoy-keraxis]

talk to me about the bog's hollow players please! general vibes? headcanons? thoughts on ragweed?

Oh absolutely thank you so much for asking about them I have so many thoughts!!! I have put a cut because I’m going to ramble.

As for general headcanons, their names are as follows

Sigrid Ormsby (Bryce’s Player)

Alaric Hastings (Curt’s Player)

Bertram Hastings (Jon’s Player)

Cyprian Warwick (James’ Player)

Clarice Beaumont (Angela’s Player)

Anneke Hargrave (Lauren’s Player)

Fiora Irvine (Mariah’s Player)

Gregor Cheeseman (Joey’s Player)

Eydis Longfellow (Kim’s Player)

David Bowman (The Narrator, guess who he’s named after)

And of course the understudies:

Petra Lovelace (Mary-Kate’s Player)

Tove Hawthorne (Allison’s Player)

Sabine Cromwell (Rianny’s Player)

Then for the band it’s:

Matthias Longfellow (Matt) (canon name)

Toothless John (Austin) (canon name)

Elias Wibbler (Josh) (partially-canon name)

Eliot Wibbler (Sam) (partially-canon name)

Then of course Ragweed is there too <3 he is very much the tired old man, he is married to David and generally just goes to rehearse his woodblock in another room.

The players are kind of all embroiled in drama all the time. There’s a lot of relationship drama and infighting, it is a miracle they even put the show together.

They’re a mess but they’re a family.

Please ask more I have so many specific things to say about them and their characters.

Fake TV Show Meme

I stole this from @bessemerprocess

prompted by @bunniesandbeheadings A criminal investigation show but it takes place in the Tudor court. Someone has to be a detective and solve the crime

Title: Mistress Fishers Murder Mysteries (adaptation of a series of historical novels of the same name)

Watch On: EBC iPlayer

Number Of Seasons: Currently airing the second season.

Starring: Essie Davis (Mistress Phoebe Fisher), Craig Parker (Master John Robinson), Jenna Coleman (Mistress Dorothy Williams), Sam Claflin (Master Hugh Collins) and guest starring Lee Pace as Thomas Cromwell, Duke of Essex.

Synopsis: Mistress Phoebe Fisher is no lady born but thanks to a series of fortunate inheritances she now most certainly is one. However it does not mean she has any notion of acting like one - working as an investigator on behalf of the crown is much more in her line. But when a series of crimes come to haunt the court Phoebe is given an assistant in the form of Master John Robinson, sometime crown agent and his secretary Hugh Collins. Phoebe in truth, is delighted. But she may end up holding a greater secret than even she could imagine.

Behold! The Firefly Molecule. Six of the seven main cast all connected to each other in four movies or less, not using Serenity.

There’s a lot that could be cleaned up and presented better - Sam Neill was also in Jurassic World Dominion, James Cromwell and Wil Smith should be on the same tri-line, etc - but it’s done. Once I start inking the final draft there’s no going back.

In the interest of transparency: I did look up Jewel Staite, Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn, and I blatantly googled “were samara weaving and hugo weaving in a movie together” because I thought they should be and I wanted to know (he’s her uncle). Turns out they are.
