Clint Eastwood – „Million Dollar Baby“ (2004)Sie können diesen Film als Box-Film, also als ein klassisches Sport-Drama sehen. Daran wäre nichts falsch. Für mich ist es allerdings ein Film über eine Frau, die sich die Autonomie über ihren Körper erkämpft, und eine Gesellschaft, die ihr diese Autonomie am Ende wieder nimmt. Genau deshalb ist die Geschichte viel radikaler, als das eher konservative Männerkino-Image von Regisseur und Hauptdarsteller Clint Eastwood eigentlich vermuten lässt. Mit Hilary Swank und Morgan Freeman. (ZDF, Wh.)

Train Dreams: A Review
So much can go wrong in life. Big things. Little things. Depending on your station in life what goes wrong determines so much of what comes after, it often tears at hope in our search for a peaceful existence. Train Dreams, directed and co-written by Clint Bentley, set in a more challenging era than our own, focuses on the big things and little things that shape us, in a revealing and poetic story of the life of one man.
In its small singular focus the film expansively embraces the life of an Idaho man who has never traveled far from home, through tough times, tragedies and the moments that define a life in the way trees populate a forest. If that sounds depressing, it’s the exact opposite. The cinematography by Adolpho Veloso and the acting take flight and lift the story far beyond the gritty and tangled undergrowth of the life it inhabits.
It’s a gorgeous film to watch that beautifully captures the mountainous northwest as it follows this lumberjack plying his trade, clearing trees to make lumber for the construction of the Spokane International Railway. It’s a dangerous life and one that takes him away for stretches of time from the family he eventually builds. The mostly peaceful vistas and views contrast with the travails seemingly necessary for this man to build a simple life, at times as sharply shocking as a gunshot in a quiet wilderness. Yet we’re reminded that all of that work literally is overtaken as the years go by with new growth replacing old.
The cast is superb. Joel Edgerton plays the lead, Robert Grainer, in a brilliant performance proving less is always more. Felicity Jones plays his wife, breathing life into him and the story. William H. Macy is exquisite as an older logger in the camps dispensing well worn wisdom. Much of the story is accompanied by the best use of narration I’ve heard in a movie, voiced by Will Patton. It comes and goes like a breeze through the trees seemingly perfectly natural and undisturbing each time it wafts in.
This movie is not going to be for everyone simply because its success requires participation in an almost passive vein. It doesn’t propel us into story telling, it lays it out for us to observe like viewing a valley unfolding beneath from a mountain perch. It’s not fast paced. It’s revelations come in a visual poetry that astounds, capturing the complexity of nature and how simple our small part of it really is, no matter how large or important we view the roles we play in the dramas we create for ourselves.
In the insanely paced tumultuous times we now find ourselves it offers a moment of exquisite reflection exemplified by two mirroring lines of dialogue. “The world is intricately stitched together, boys. Every thread we pull, we know not how it affects the design of things,” says Macy’s character around a campfire. That echoes back again towards the end, when a Forest Service worker reminds Grainer and us that “every least thing’s important.”
Both challenge the wisdom behind the cliché that tells us we can’t see the forest for the trees. But then the bigger picture of a life is always made of smaller moments stitched together if we pay attention.

Un film di Clint Eastwood non è mai soltanto un film di Clint Eastwood: quando ti siedi sulla poltroncina del cinema e le luci si spengono, avverti immediatamente il peso di decenni di cinema e delle aspettative che un nome del genere porta con sé. Uno che, alla veneranda età di 94 anni, vanta come sia come attore che come regista una filmografia impressionante. Con questo bagaglio di capolavori passati è problematico patteggiare con questo suo ultimo film, quasi un incrocio, più o meno riuscito, tra La Parola ai Giurati di Sidney Lumet, Delitto e Castigo e Un giorno in pretura (la trasmissione televisiva, non il film): il senso di colpa, la morale, il bisogno di dare un senso alla parola giustizia, tutti temi incredibilmente interessanti, forse affrontati da Eastwood con un sentimentalismo eccessivo per uno che per tutta la vita non ha fatto altro che mostrarci quanto fosse tosto.
Le premesse, tuttavia, sono incredibilmente coinvolgenti: Nicholas Hoult ha una bella moglie (Zoey Deutch, di cui già mi ero follemente innamorato in Tutti Vogliono Qualcosa di Linklater) e un bebè in arrivo, quando viene chiamato a far parte della giuria in un caso di omicidio. Quando si trova in aula ad ascoltare che l’imputato ha ucciso la moglie all’altezza di un cavalcavia e poi l’ha gettata in un dirupo, capisce che quella stessa buia e tempestosa notte, su quella stessa strada, quello che aveva colpito con la sua auto non era forse un cervo. Il conflitto è quindi atroce: il giurato ha letteralmente il potere di assolvere l’uomo e distruggere la propria famiglia o di farsi mangiare dal rimorso, pur salvando la propria vita. Cosa succederà ora? Questa è davvero una domanda che ci terrà per qualche minuto letteralmente agganciati alla poltroncina.
Il secondo atto, che si apre con l’omaggio al capolavoro di Lumet (e per un paio di minuti rasenta il remake), si regge sulle spalle di J. K. Simmons, che ruba la scena a un Hoult troppo impegnato a commiserarsi nei suoi dilemmi etici per non sembrare eccessivamente posticcio. Da qui in poi il film è impostato sul pilota automatico, tra continui primi piani sulla sofferenza del protagonista, svolte più che prevedibili e la solita retorica nazionalista del nostro Clint, che fa brindare i suoi avvocati alla grandezza del sistema giudiziario americano e solleva dubbi nel suo pubblico ministero dopo una semplice occhiata al motto In God we trust, affisso in aula. Giurato Numero 2, nonostante le ottime premesse, fa il suo compito e a suo modo funziona, ma tutto ciò che ne esce fuori è il classico “bel film da guardare in aereo”.
