A Prairie Home Companion 2006 123movies

Watch: A Prairie Home Companion 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – A final live variety show broadcast via radio becomes a metaphor for the natural order of life. A concept and script by Garrison Keilor uses every natural and technical element of working with a tight and close ensemble producing a weekly show to sooth us and guide us through the natural but difficult transitions of aging, becoming less relevant and then dying as new, young life develops and strengthens during our final “performances.” This is a rare film for it’s remarkable cast and crew and one wonders how the great Robert Altman was able to gather them all at the same place and time to shoot this film..
Plot: A look at what goes on backstage during the last broadcast of America’s most celebrated radio show, where singing cowboys Dusty and Lefty, a country music siren, and a host of others hold court.

Surprise, Surprise
Who knew that Lindsay Lohan could deliver a performance of this caliber? My friends and I, all movie aficionados, were stunned by her performance, albeit a supporting role. I never EVER thought I would utter those words. As mentioned earlier, Lohan’s real acting debut is here.

Still, her’s is highlighted by a magnificent ensemble, particularly Tomlin and Streep, who give dazzling performances. After all these years, they’ve still got it- and Tomlin, an Altman favorite, is particularly up to par with the snap-and-go dialogue.

As always, his direction must be taken with a grain of salt- you either love him or hate him, but the performances are what make this film soar.

Kudos!

the last show in more ways than one
The fact that “A Prairie Home Companion” was Robert Altman’s final film makes it all the more eye-opening that the movie portrays a final broadcast. In fact, the presence of the Dangerous Woman (Virginia Madsen) almost seems to foretell Altman’s approaching end.

Anyway, the movie portrays the final broadcast of Garrison Keillor’s (playing himself) famous radio show – which is done like a 1940s broadcast – as a Texas company is taking it over. In the process of everything, people’s secrets get revealed (namely in the duct tape scene), and one gets a sense of independently owned media sources getting bought out. But regardless of what happens, the various performers all know that they have to hang on to their lives.

Among the performers are the calm Johnson Sisters (Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep), the dirty-minded Lefty and Dusty (Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly), and others. The real sense of the 1940s comes in the form of detective Guy Noir (Kevin Kline), keeping an eye on everything; he looks as anachronistic as the show itself, but he never lets it get him down.

The movie has the definite feel of a Robert Altman movie, with the overlapping dialogue (I remember that when Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep gave Altman his honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards in February, they talked like that). Not his best movie by any stretch, but still worth seeing. Also starring Tommy Lee Jones, Lindsay Lohan, and Maya Rudolph.

It runs in your blood. Yeah…
