Cinema as Song
0 of 1 found this helpful MAsked and Annonymous is one of the best movies of the 21st century despite the fact the "critics" panned this as another one of "Dylans Follies".
Although regarded as dystopian by most accounts, the movie has resonance with those of us who relie on public transportation or spend time in Greater Aztlan.
Personnalt i was engaged by the staging, the inversion of societal hierarchy as well as the deflation of "populists" of all stripes.
The performances were first rate [Goodman has never sone a role batter than Uncle Sweetheart] and The portayal of the "news media" by Dern and Bridges was not only priceless but spot on to any viewer of Fox News Channel or CNN Headline News.
Of special note was Cheech Marin as "Prospero". Although short, his interaction with Dylan was funny, pongiant and true.
I would be remiss in not mentioning the band "Twist of Fate". Yes it's Dylans road band, and yes they really don't act, but from the moment they are introduced through to the end, they are the REAL THING. This is how bands are, act, exist.
IF I had any dislike to this film [and for me it is hard to find fault] would be in some of the lighting choices [the network meeting comes to mind] as we lose some of the availible resolution on the scheduling board, thus losing a valuble piece of humor.
This leaves us with the performance of Jack Fate himself, Bob Dylan.
A little over 20 years ago Paul Simon positied a "what if" scenario with
"One Trick Pony", with Paul as a character named Jonah. This perhaps is a diffrent approach to the same story with Jack Fate being "over before he started". But in this case it is recast in a more Southwestern [ I decline to describe this as Californian due to the resonance one can find in South Texas, New Mexico as well as Arizona] motif with a decidedly "Third World" flavor and resonance.
But JAck Fate is no Jonah. Jack is incarcerated, sprung for a telethon and in the end takes the fall for a friend. His relationships are strongest in the creative realm and weakest in the fundamental "man-woman" realm. Although he goes "home", in the end he must follow Dharma and suffers the accompanying Karma with calm and equanimity.
Jack though has moments of verbal and physical comedy that taken for themselves remind us of Charlie Chaplin and Popeye the Sailor.
My decision to buy this movie was made some years ago viewing it on the big screen [in an almost empty theater] and fianlized when I took my cousins to a screening of this movie in Manila,Philippines ["Primo! Bob Dylan made a Filipino movie!" Yes it's set in that other America (You know, the one John Edwards doesn't even know exists) but the Filipinos saw it from a more Kantian Universal concept.]
To conclude, Masked and Anonymous is a movie of many levels, perhaps the cinema equavilant of "All Along the Watchtower". If you're tired of the same old "Blockbuster" formula and not afraid to think, this movie is perfect. On the other hand, you are married to ideology [progressive or conservative, as Mishima observed, "This Knife cuts both ways."] just save your moneyor the product you are most comfortable with.
Bundling Recomendation: view this with "I'm Not There" and some good friends with wit and insight. You'll not be disappointed!
