Except that "Mr. Normal", incidentally rather crooked cop (by idleness, presumably) , turns out to have several passions quite expensive, starting with the game and Paris (great match between the Mets and Dodgers , which helps give the film much of its rhythm):
Alcohol (and not in small doses!):
Sex (tragic scene and "Christ" to see in its entirety, so symbolic that this photo has long served at movie poster)!
And of course, not least, the "Crack" (or hero, or coke, in short, anything that might fall under his hand, in a nutshell!):
During that time, Vera Cruz (sorry, I could not resist quoting the famous movie Dummies , he would still like me to comment one of these days) ... A thousand pardons. Excuse me! During that time, so in a church in English Harlem a poor nun is raped in a particularly violent by two youngsters:
course under eye of a Madonna compassionate, as in almost all films of Ferrara, lol!
Anyway, fortunately I have not my own offspring, because I'm pretty sure it could happen to me very certain days to live this kind of situation rather embarrassing
Being woken up in a coma by her own children, what can be worse? But hey. Finally, Harvey Keitel (yes, in fact, I did not even cited, although it is probably one of his greatest roles) finally opened their eyes, above all for check the side of his paris, Number One priority :
And secondly, to do his "real" cop work, especially at this stage particularly long and traumatic, so often cited by both fans and detractors of the film (and again I am version short, there):
Just to tell (story to compare with, for example, It happened near home), I know quite a few people who have completely dropped out of film just after this stage, it is true enough trying ...
is clear that the handjob of Harvey Keitel on the car facing the two young girls, it may "slightly" undermine (no pun intended), let's say ...
Anyway. It's Abel Ferrara , what, you know, when you slip the DVD into the drive, right? Or else, as he himself says in his usual language "Christ":
Abel Ferrara : a réalisteur quite atypical, even a very big layabout I-am- largely unpolished capable of killing certain plans (and even some movies, such BODY SNATCHERS , where apparently it was his assistants who have done all the work, so that the gorged turn this "remake), and at the same time, equally capable of we refine small Dutch pictures worthy of the seventeenth century:
THE scene "crucial" (say even "crucifixiale") of the film, from which everything changes:
I loaded all the pictures in rapid succession, but because I have to curl the 40, then (a record on this blog, I think), I will content myself for once the text: "I had to change the bitter seed in fertile sperm, hate into love. .. And maybe even save their souls. " And it is not (by far) the easiest to understand, accept and especially in this movie:
The essence of redemption, in short, a concept rather complex, which will be magnified tenfold by the end ... But as I had announced at the beginning of this article, do not go above beyond if you have not yet seen the film, because it is a big SPOILER from now on!
And during that time, and even more after hearing in secret confession of the nun, our "mad" continues its descent into hell, any (apparent) Impunity:
For it is precisely from this moment that his disjonctent neurons completely (as well as mine the first time I saw this movie and those of Lunapei , with whom I met him again tonight!) before his inability to accept the unacceptable, or even, or rather to understand the incomprehensible, to accept the unacceptable:
How? If not insult this "fucking" Christ and his fuckin 'fucking' message of love "fucking cocksucker" (forgive me, I'm just trying to wedge myself in the usual language of Ferrara, there)!
But which actor giant, not to say géantissime - especially in this scene, but generally throughout the movie! When we think (the news recently chopée 20h) to 26 million euros earned by Dany Boon ... Good (it is connected Ferrara, after all, so nothing can shock anyone, is not it?), There is really something "and will take the bite" in a nutshell!
Still, our hero (well no, I express myself badly, then, our anti-hero, rather), broke through all his drugs, riddled with debt under its paris stupid, and above all, totally exploded by all that his brain starts to completely crazy difficult to accept, namely the absolute concept of "forgiveness" even in the worst case "unforgivable", will try his / her own redemption starting in search of two young rapists:
Always (until something better, lol!) sharing a few pipes of "Crack", while remaining glued to the famous game Mets against the Dodgers :
This is commonly called "back to jump further!
And the more incomprehensible in history, at least in the first vision of this masterpiece (careful, I warned you that this would turn into a SPOILER, Well then, do not complain!), is the way Harvey Keitel tries to save his own way these two "fucking cocksuckers" not only in the force balance on the bus to Philadelphia, but Also spinning them all that remains to him $ 30,000 in cash, no less:
I'll let you guess the purpose of speed, violence, and at the same time an absolute sense:
Just for anecdote: there is virtually the same scene in THE KING OF NEW YORK , movie I've already recommended first thing in the Post, but you never know ... In case you forgot, lol!
Opus Two major to do urgently, in a nutshell!
Additional Information on this film here to read at the whim of a very interesting article Valerie Palacios, who will deliver a bonus number of stories (rather harsh) about the shooting ...
