Wenn man(n) die Lebensmitte schon eine Weile hinter sich hat, dann bekommen nicht nur Erinnerungen an Filme, sondern auch an die eigene Kindheit und Jugend jedes Jahr einen neuen Stellenwert. Nach dem plötzlichen Tod von Rob Reiner und seiner Frau – und der dahinter stehenden Familientragödie vor nur ein paar Tagen -, fällt es mir allerdings tatsächlich schwer, diesen Film nicht auch als ein frühes Vermächtnis seines Regisseurs zu sehen. Auch, weil ich damals, als ich ihn zuerst sehen durfte, das meiste meines eigenen Lebens noch vor mir hatte. (ZDFneo, Wh.)

Jerry Lewis war für mich immer schon mehr als ein Komiker. Ich habe schon als Kind jede Show mit Dean Martin gesehen, jede seiner Figuren geliebt – nicht nur den tollpatschigen Chaoten, der sich mit absurdem Timing und überdrehter Mimik in jedes Herz gestohlen hat. Seine Filme waren ständige Begleiter, und doch ahnte ich eigentlich nur, wie komplex der Mann hinter dem Lachen tatsächlich war. Dieser Dokumentarfilm bringt all das zum Vorschein und lässt tief hinter die Maske des „King of Comedy“ blicken. (ARD, Neu!)

From Seinfeld to Shawshank, Rob Reiner changed Hollywood for ever – Movies – The Guardian

From Seinfeld to Shawshank, Rob Reiner changed Hollywood for ever

Reiner’s own films reshaped modern comedy and drama with their intelligence, empathy and range. But through his company, Castle Rock, he paved the way for Seinfeld, Sorkin and many more…

As a film-maker, Rob Reiner championed humour, civility and intelligence – qualities you suppose would be out of step with the Hollywood of the 1980s where he made his name, and in the 1990s where he scored a series of extraordinary, far-reaching successes. Reiner had a family interest in the workings of on-screen comedy: his father Carl had played a key role on Sid Caesar’s TV shows, which themselves were revolutionary, and helped birth a new generation of screen comics by directing Steve Martin’s film debut The Jerk. Rob had become a household name as Meathead, the liberal foil to Carroll O’Connor’s bigoted Archie Bunker in 70s sitcom All in the Family (the equivalent to Mike Rawlins v Warren Mitchell in the British original, Till Death Us Do Part). But it was as a director and producer that he really made his impact felt.

In 1984, Reiner released This Is Spinal Tap, a “mockumentary” about a fictitious heavy metal band from the UK that rewrote the rules on what comedy could do. It sent up rock’n’roll behaviour and codified its cliches (with Reiner himself doing a hilarious parody of Martin Scorsese’s hosting role in The Last Waltz) and gave us zingers that haven’t lost their comedy power more than 30 years on: “The numbers all go to 11”, “it’s such a fine line between stupid, and er … clever.” Its deployment of improvised comedy was revolutionary for a Hollywood feature, and while Reiner wasn’t the first to use the fake-documentary techniques for comedic purposes (that goes back at least to Woody Allen’s Take the Money and Run), it hugely popularised the mockumentary style; subsequent efforts include Bob Roberts, Fear of a Black Hat, Drop Dead Gorgeous and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. All these owe Tap a huge debt – as well as the microgenre of star Christopher Guest’s improv-mockumentaries: Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. Almost incidentally, Spinal Tap became a sort-of-real band, with tours, record releases and a follow-up feature (Spinal Tap II: The End Continues), in which the presence of music industry titans Paul McCartney and Elton John demonstrated the high regard in which the original was held.

Der #Skeptiker der #GWUP nun dauerhaft im Kulturkampfmodus.

Klar, #Trump ist ein verurteilter Verbrecher, der die #USA in eine Autokratie umbaut und seine Kritiker (#RobReiner ) bis ins Grab verhöhnt.

Und #Woke ist das Gleiche, aber anders.

Schon klar.

Mit dieser Verwirrtheit macht man sich dauerhaft auch im Kerngebiet, #Esoterik- und #Homöopathie-Kritik, unglaubwürdig.

77 Million Americans voted for this depravity though, to spite everyone else.
They're tell you their 'reasons', but those are lies to cover the little shits that they are and don't want to be exposed as.

#RobReiner initially rose to fame playing Meathead, #ArchieBunker’s son-in-law, on the sitcom “All in the Family” in the 1970s. He then went on to become a remarkably versatile director and a force in California and national Democratic politics.

Reiner was the son of a pioneering television comedian who became a popular sitcom actor himself before directing a slate of beloved films including “This Is Spinal Tap,” “When Harry Met Sally …” and “The Princess Bride.”
