I don't hardly recognize it anymore." -- Matt Damon.
From - Stillwater - {2021} How coincidental and dramatic
a confession.That quote the last words uttered in the film.
From Hollywoods best Liberal Hero.Whose character in the movie
is an unemployed Oil rig worker from Oklahoma.Who visits europe
to help his daugher who is serving 5 years.The action/drama takes
place in Marseilles { a little better for wear than - French Connection II - }.
Damon is at his usual very good to outstanding.
But I doubt his political mindset is able to shift characters
or become moved no matter how much his own Country
becomes Unrecognizable.There's no doubt todays United States
is fastly becoming different to a near point of no return.
On practically every level.No Pro Forma acting or Hollywood
script need apply.It's Alive and Not Well.Unlike our Hollywood
hero's of yesteryear,except for a few,Hollywood has become a
wasteland of unspent talent masquerating as if an unexhausted well.
I can't think of any Great Actor of the 40's,50's and 60's
{ forget the 80's } who would go out in public and act
so nonchalant when his bread and butter { Country } is
close to Falling.
Saying stuff like ... It Is what It Is ... can't even come close to
cutting it.
Sometimes a Movie can have an impact.
Often times ... s'not.
