Messing around with destiny
Aaron Sorking raises the same questions as Shakespeare did or does. How could they possibly know so much about the inner workings of palace life. Here like in The West Wing, Sorkin opens surprising doors that are hardly a shock but seem ton confirm our worst fears. Everything is so casual and at the same time so directly responsible for so many people’s lives. A puffy Tom Hanks tells us one way or another that things can be manipulated with semi pure intentions but without weighing the consequences and Julia Roberts in a blond southern hairdo reminds us of the powers harbored in the sidelines. The subject is serious but the treatment is light, intelligent but light. Philip Seymour Hoffman, as the invisible middle man, steals every scene he is in, just like Charles Laughton did in every movie he was in.The dialogue is fast but not fast enough for us not to catch up and discover that this is not an ordinary comedy. The seemingly casual pace filled with strokes of wit and provocation grants another badge of honor in the Mike Nichol’s collection.

I Walked Out
Yes, I walked out. I don’t suffer stupidity very well. I made it one hour and ten minutes into this picture before the death-blow forced me from the theater: Charlie celebrating the end of the cocaine investigation.

“It’s over!” he shouts, his nymphette secretaries swarming him in joy. “Technically I did cocaine in the Cayman Islands but that’s out of American jurisdiction.” Yes, it’s the slimy lecherous alcoholic politician who just saved his hide on a loophole. Our hero, ladies & gentleman… And what’s worse is how director Mike Nichols hid Charlie’s crime from the audience in much the same way real politicians hide their crimes from their constituents: delicately-worded dialogue and deceptive maneuvering. It’s similar to the way we’re asked to find Charlie’s whoring adorable because we never see his wife. Out of sight, out of mind… right?

Sorry. I find the character loathsome, mainly because we’re asked to consider him a hero. We’ve come a long way from Mr. Smith’s trip to Washington if an adulterous coke-snorting lush is the new Lincoln.

What’s even worse about this movie is its political naiveté: There are no “good guys” or “bad guys” in war… it’s all a matter of where you’re standing. And what’s worse, this “war” is nothing more than a product of the United States’ profitable wargames pastime: arming and funding a country or cause to fight our wars for us only to turn around and consider said country or cause a threat, at which we point we bomb them to oblivion and rebuild their country using our contractors. Sound familiar? It’s just the life-cycle of the military/industrial complex. Hardly heroic…

I didn’t have to stay to the end to see where the picture was heading: Hanks becomes a hero by “getting involved” and “saving his soul” and the entire Cold War is brought to an end by a Congressman, a CIA agent and a wealthy Texas socialite.

I usually love science-fiction.
