The Rat Pack (1998)
GREAT STORY, POOR SCRIPT SAVED BY THE QUALITY OF THE ACTORS...AND THE STORY
What movie that could have been if the director had a little more required in the direction of actors and in the editing. Don Cheadle and Mantegna, respectively Sammy Davis J. and Dean Martin, gave the tone to the movie, tone that escaped the producer. Liotta defends the character of Sinatra well. The disappointment of the movie the actor play of the President Kennedy, so venal and so far of Kennedy's image. The best moment:the song to the convention and the dance and song of Cheadle facing the racist demonstrators. Rigged Don Cheadle, what talent, what actor.
Basquiat (1996)
THIS FILM IS A JULIAN SCHNABEL PAINTING: WE WANT MORE....
It is hard to explain in english for me but I like to try. Basquiat was a great talent artist born of a Portorican mother and Haitian father. Jean Michel has a lightning career that marks years eighty. He signs of the name of Samo the first graffitis of the New York subway . The meeting of Andy Warhol is determinante for his career. From 1984 he works with Warhol and Francesco Clémente. His work move away from the graffiti but continue to represent the culture of the street, making ironically reference to quotes of medias and to the advertisement. Its works now identify to his origins:his grotesques figures and his faces to the African sculpture air make reference to the jazz and Voodoo that compose the uncoordinated image of an entity urban ethnic in quest of his origins. Back to the movie. Julian Schnabel delivers here an accomplished work of art that tried to surround, not only the art of Basquiat, but the intellectual gait of the generation post Jackson Pollock. Jeffrey Wright is remarkable, he would be worthy of an oscar. Benicio Del Toro also. Gary Oldman. Bowie, Walken, Hopper, Da Foe, all understood, all played with exactness. Just the picture of Basquiat and Benny Dalmau (Del Toro) looking at the avant-garde video is worth the price of entrance. The picture of the Warhol video on the beach is in bounty....
