Good One
Good One
A dulling sense of inevitability in a person’s life regarding everything invisible and imperceptible begins to expand and irreversibly change. Most crucial things are not contained in things that the dialogue says. I believe that we’ve all faced up to this rage with a shudder at least once in a lifetime, but as far as how to accomplish that in a film, this is sliscorin, more so when those submerged moments are settled states in time and space with a shift, that is the character ( and the audience) understands that it is so, that nothing will ever be the same again. This is an idea that gets lodged in the mind’s eye of a movie camera and some reasons why many films do not seem to give credence to this idea, their atmosphere is pregnant with irredeemed dialogue header or clarifying such request. Well, explaining why ‘Good One’ is interesting in a lot of ways is already diplomatic, but perhaps the most classical one, which I would put on the film is the issue of faith which Donaldson whether intending it or not and her three actors James LeGros Danny McCarthy and Lily Collias have in the subtext and don’t cleaning it, let it simmer way below the dialogue, beneath the words.
Chris (Le Gros) and Matt (McCarthy) have been best friends since the very beginning of their lives, and one would mistake their familiarity for a long-lost married couple. Chris is parent with a stern authority, but his term has come to the end as current developments place him in an awkward midlife crisis. This I conclude because Matt is attention seeker as a struggling non fame as a wannabe aspiring actor.
His teenage son has totally disappointed him in wanting to have anything to do with his father. Chris’ daughter Sam (Collias) is 17 years old and she is in High School, her senior year and is bound to go to college in a few months. The child is a good one and she is pretty excited about every day that comes. She is looking forward to going to the Catskill Mountains for the weekend with her father, Matt, and his son for some hikes. Therefore when Matt’s son does not come, Sam is at a loss as to whom else can trolley around the small boy and make her play. There isn’t even a second to hesitate in changing one’s mind.
The hike cannot be compared to a mere walk along the beautiful hills of California, as it is not that simple. It is actually a three days’ affair where everyone has to carry their individual weight on very rough terrain and also walk a long distance. Chris and Sam do a lot of hiking.
They are well acquainted with the step by step ritual. Matt is a dumbass. He has jeans on himself. He is poorly prepared for the outdoors. He is incoherent when asked the one very simple thing, put up the tent. The unreasonable and sensitive one happens to be Chris. To me, that peculiar feeling accompanies her friends like an obligation rather than affection. Matt is always irritating Chris and chortling Matt. His is goodness – which is like a mask over a sadness that is rooted in desperation – or hope, rather. Disclaiming his reasonable nudity fu, “I don’t comprehend how I turned out to be so nuts.”
Sam sharp and nearly most of the time sensical is where all this surround us. Further, it is astonishing to both of the men when they turn to her for such grown-up matters and she speaks with such depth.
Though one can accept the events explained above, some of them just feel a little “off.” Yes, Sam is 17 years old. There is this juvenile element in her character that some people possess at her age though all the young women appearing in this image are menaced by such dullness.
One of them is her father, and they are too much. It is not right to imagine that it is all right to come and get drunk and swap nasty stories about cheating in front of some girl, that she is small, that she is young, that all this is still going to be tolerated. What begins rather mildly as a rather apprehensive friend to whom I had available for rates to discussions (which certainly was a lot of greasing arguments) developed into something rather nasty far more sooner than imagined. And actually, by the end of the film, it becomes increasingly obvious that Sam has never felt comfortable around the two men she has known her whole life.
Last but by no means the least, it is interesting to see that the audience seems to be indifferent towards the reasons. Or rather, it’s not easy or hard to not sense how the film grips the viewer, in that to ‘satisfy’ the viewers with basic verbal explanations of what happened or even cheap cinematographic catharsis. In her period, Sam shifts in occupation and exits to buy a pad while Chris and Sam are heedless of the extra weight around their shoulders.
In other words, despite the stares directed at her, she possesses these great accomplishments and sighs whenever she suppresses the urge to sing the facts of their conquest. This is the period that is especially suspenseful for this reason, that although all details in this lovely movie including the title, are of interest to a scholar’s curiosity, this is an era that also focuses on expansion with a biological emphasis. The rest all sit at home, the only other characters who are female in this story. She is unmarried and that makes Sam a single woman.
I attended a press screening with a friend afterwards and we discussed while walking home from it for the entire distance. As it turned out, there was a lot to talk about, and I apologize, but I believe that it is this much that is unspoken and that it all ‘means’. Donaldson utilises a non negotiable strategy.
Outdoors is where most of the action of the film occurs. The inner story of this film is glorified by a cinematographer’s work with Wilson Cameron who was a director of Donaldon’s several shorts. To focus on the more risky relations of cinematic studying, jumping back to our discussion of a film, there are strange thick cylindrical structures in the film where most of the action moves out of the frame and neurotic stylists direct it.
Pictures go bursting through the frame and all the swatted heads are in picture space only. Rushing waters, bugs crashing around, and birds singing all do their parts of a sound design spite of it. There are several minutes of the packed last scene but no more tents and no more setting up of the camp Lilly and Astoria get the reverse treatment. Most of the time the screen is blank with Laura in hibernation, usually at a slow pace. And there’s a fair amount of potentially active things going on.
His fascination towards Collias’ face is perhaps the reason why the majority of the movie is shot on the face of Collias. Most of the words as in, gaze her age here, is still as very impress young actress, and every thought that cross her mind, every motion, every laugh or every shock, can be evidently seen. And that face is the one that leads us on.
And this movement beneath the surface, this too is Sam”s, this is a continental shelf which used to be deep under the mounds of her life slates, altering her for good. In as much as she is looking for cache in the heavy righting it is very easy to scoop and go. Alabaster brings her caches out of the woods but, Alabaster too, is no longer the girl who went into those woods. Every inch of the end of the tunnel is more or less the same.
