Jodie Foster – Behind the Proscenium

Elysium

With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

The days of a dog summer are arrived.

The testicle kick torture that is summer movie season nears its end.

How much more can my two amigos take?

“The Great Gatsby” – pow, right in the pills.

“Fast and the Furious 6” – a hard punch to the giggleberries.

“White House Downer” – bitch slap to my plucked turkeys.

My junk can take no more. My area is a mess.

There is hope… It is called “Elysium.”

Neill Blomkamp made my head kaboom with “District 9.” The story of giant shrimp oppressed and the man (Sharlto Copley) who through a shrimp STD becomes another shrimp. He has their pain. He isn’t a shrimp Nelson Mandela – but that may never be, sadly. “District 9” had effects, good. Plot, surprise! Acting, cool.

What did my brain want with “Elysium”?

Good effects, surprise plot, cool acting. One out of three ain’t good (sorry Meatloaf).

Plot? Yes.

Used many times in the past times – used again.

In the further future, after “Blade Runner,” the rain has stopped in Los Angeles. The Japanese people have gone back to their homes and the Hispanics have returned from Japan.

It is daylight. Neon is not longer in fashion. Robots look like robots, not “I wanna make a little replicant with you” replicants like Sean Young (in the last century, she had for the hot – no shit).

Max (Matt Damon) was a child with Frey (Alice Braga). They are cute orphans. We cannot smell their orphan smell, so we still like them.

When older, Max having starred in “Fast and The Furious 73,” now just wants to build robots and be harassed by cop robots who are really cops from today in robot suits.

All are dusty and tattooed. All want to go up to Elysium.

Especially when Max gets a case of special die in exactly five days radiation.

Why Elysium?

Elysium is Las Vegas, but with healing, without cigarette smoke.

Delacourt (Jodie Foster) wants to keep it Las Vegas and is a bitch.

She hates Hispanics, giant shrimp, possibly the Japanese, and Max.

They are not allowed the Las Vegas.

Not even State Line.

There are mind thought transfers. Max becomes low-budget Transformer. Frey is pretty. Charles Manson Kruger (Sharlto Copley again –please speak English when speaking English – I will never know how you said what you said until I get the Blu-ray and use the CC) will soon attend Overactor’s Anonymous.

This night was a Kossu only for Kimmo night.

Big mistake.

I could see the future of the film before that future was the now.

Poor people, sad.

Rich people, mean.

Movie goer, still waiting for giant shrimp.

Would a better place be film “Elysium” with the sweet, sweet smoke? This can never be known.

So, two thumbs needing exo-skeleton to stand tall – waiting for five day radiation death, but only having to survive the hour and forty-nine minute movie film which seemed like five day radiation death.

But no 3D! Praise Odin!!!

Bad? No.

Good? No.

Matt Damon? He did many sit-ups and push-ups for preparing to act. I now feel fat.

So… see “Elysium” and feel fat. High praise!

P.S. Fall is coming. Which says Winter is coming. Which says “Game of Thrones” will return. Soon Westeros will be Finland, with more nudity (and dragons – no dragons in Finland). Who is point with thumbs at his face like a spastic and grinning and saying “who cannot wait for nude Finn Westeros Game of Thrones? This guy!”

Boom!

“The Beaver” is nearly successful, despite the condition of his film script, which was capable I simply do not (cannot) to assume. I confess it is possible, too, that a man could be in the lowest point in the situation, to be healed, by project engineering his psyche into a hand puppet.

I am not it am possible safe, or even advisable to form a serious film over. What? We go through the film with Mel Gibson, which he carries one toothy beaver on its left hand, and which an entire lot of dis-believingness causes, so that we shift. Over.

Nevertheless is here different of Mel Gibson’s-fine achievements, an announcement that he is finally a great actor.

His personal life is in the ruins because of the illness of dipsomania (and Russians), which fights it still with (and with the Russian). He I thinks, which is responsible for his impudent acts and statements, that this is not the good man, who I saw many movies in.

Of, which I know over alcoholism, I believe that he goes through personality conflict that it is content on some days and by rage and crazy head on others used up, and that such changes are symptoms of the illness. Form your own diagnosis. I did.

It took something courage of master Jodie Foster to refer this film in Gibson. I believe that her Gibson knows, his good side and respect its talent. It was certainly the right choice for this material.

Everything, his troubles, summed by looking by her opening shot, an exhausted man, who swims on a raft in a swimming pool, his arms broad like crucified the Christian.

A voice (later uncovered, around the Beaver to be had, what?) informs us that this dark Walter is a man, thus deeply in the lowest point, it his family alienated and nearly his business destroyed. Bummer.

We meet his much-suffering Mrs. Meredith (Jodie Foster), its applied son carrier (Anton Yelchin) and its doubting colleagues. Meredith throws him finally out, not without love, but love with.

He buys a bottle, bangs into a motel, tried to kill himself and by the hand puppet (Beaver) is interrupted. It finds that the puppet has a voice, he lets it speak for him and begins to again enter his life of the previous past.

Brillianter even still, Gibson and author Kyle Killen do not form you the slightest attempt to use the illusion of ventriloquism; Gibson manipulates the puppet and speaks of its own mouth, in an admirable if unexplainable Cockney accent.

His life improves in kinds, which I leave, so that you discover, yourself. I leave you also to surprise around me if Matt Lauer in wait on a material “Today” program quite became with a hand puppet interview, as it does here. What?

A parallel plan refers carriers, which son also, whose gift, papers for schoolmates is to be written, who read, as if they were written by those class participants themselves. What?

The category Valedictorian asks it to write you a speech. If she’s (she’s a she, if that is unclear) that intelligently, why can’t write it? She’s however, that interesting to go through problems, the carriers in one discovers lateral history, bending those, to lead us away from the film’s through-line.

Which kind of the film with the same letters however “The Beaver” does not result to be? We never know.

But without “The Beaver” we would have never witnessed a sexual threesome, a hand puppet with including. Juicy.

Maintaining Gibson must be serious several times, with the production of this film, but don’t you think when filming this sex scene, the urge to suppress laugheter had too much pain? That is the deadly error in this sincere effort.

So well, as Gibson is, his character is gotten caught still between the tragedy of the man and the absurdity of “The Beaver”.

One thumb waiving high. Two, but for the missing of Ginnifer Goodwin. She should be in every film.

Even Fast and the Furious Five, which I will be reviewing soon.
