Toronto-based critic, lecturer, and author Adam Nayman joins us to look back at Billy Bob Thornton's directorial debut and acting showcase Sling Blade. Once considered a high-water mark of 90s American indie cinema success within popular culture and the awards circuit, Thornton's film is now often relegated to 'curio' status; a fascinating time capsule of the mid-90s with very little (if any) cultural purchase among today's cinephiles. We discuss the work of Billy Bob Thornton, the evolution of Sling Blade (from one man show to short film to feature), and suggest some reasons for its breakout success. Then, we discuss the film's fascinating hodgepodge of elements and inspirations, combining the social economy of Southern American Gothic, the moralism of Christian parable, and formal qualities of independent cinema to make something at once distinctive and comfortably inessential. Finally, we ask if movies like Sling Blade can still gain the same level of critical and commercial cachet in today's film environment and what some of this fall's box office hits and awards front-runners might indicate about where we're headed.Follow Adam Nayman on Twitter.

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving into a film that strikes the perfect balance between humor, heartbreak, and the hope that pulls us through life's darkest moments. Directed by David O. Russell and featuring a powerhouse cast, "Silver Linings Playbook" has left a lasting impression on audiences since its release in 2012. This film isn't just another romantic comedy—it's a deeply moving exploration of mental health, relationships, and the redemptive power of love."Silver Linings Playbook" tells the story of Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper), struggling to rebuild his life after a stint in a mental institution. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Pat's world is in shambles: he's lost his job, his house, and his marriage. Despite these setbacks, Pat is determined to regain control of his life and win back his estranged wife, Nikki (Brea Bee). He moves back in with his parents, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro) and Dolores (Jacki Weaver), whose quirks and struggles add complexity to the family dynamic.From the very beginning, it's clear that "Silver Linings Playbook" is not your typical romantic comedy. The film deals with heavy themes such as mental illness and the challenges of recovery, but it does so with a light touch that never feels exploitative or disrespectful. David O. Russell's direction is sharp and empathetic, capturing the chaos and confusion of Pat's life without losing sight of the humour and humanity that make his story so compelling.One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to portray mental illness in a realistic yet hopeful way. Pat's journey is filled with setbacks and moments of despair, but the film never loses sight of the possibility of recovery. Bradley Cooper's portrayal of Pat is nothing short of remarkable—he brings a raw intensity to the role that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Cooper's ability to convey Pat's vulnerability and determination makes him a character that is both relatable and deeply sympathetic. It's a performance that resonates long after the credits roll.Jennifer Lawrence, who won an Academy Award for her role as Tiffany Maxwell, is equally captivating. Tiffany is a young widow who is dealing with her mental health struggles, and her unlikely friendship with Pat becomes the heart of the film. Lawrence brings a fiery energy to the role, making Tiffany both fierce and fragile, a perfect match for Pat's more subdued but equally tumultuous personality. Their chemistry is electric, and their interactions blend sharp wit and genuine emotion, making their relationship one of the most memorable in recent cinema.The supporting cast is just as impressive. Robert De Niro delivers a standout performance as Pat Sr., a father who is as complicated as his son. De Niro brings a mix of humour, frustration, and deep-seated love to the role, creating an endearing and exasperating character. Jacki Weaver, as Dolores, provides a softer, more nurturing presence, balancing the family's dynamics with her quiet strength. Together, they create a believable and touching portrayal of a family trying to navigate the challenges of mental illness and the impact it has on their lives."Silver Linings Playbook" is also notable for its depiction of sports fanaticism, particularly how it ties into the characters' lives and emotional states. Pat Sr.'s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles is both a source of tension and a means of bonding within the family. This subplot adds another layer of authenticity to the film, grounding it in a specific cultural context while also highlighting how people use rituals and routines to cope with life's uncertainties.The film's pacing is brisk, and its narrative keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Russell's script, adapted from Matthew Quick's novel of the same name, is tight and witty, filled with dialogue that is as sharp as it is heartfelt. The story unfolds in a way that feels organic, with each scene building on the last to create a sense of momentum that mirrors Pat's journey towards healing and self-acceptance.Cinematographically, "Silver Linings Playbook" uses a mix of close-ups and wide shots to create a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The handheld camera work gives the film a raw, almost documentary-like feel, drawing the audience into Pat's world and allowing them to experience his highs and lows firsthand. This visual style, combined with the film's vibrant colour palette, adds to the optimism that underpins the story, even in its darkest moments.The soundtrack perfectly complements the film's tone, featuring a mix of classic rock and contemporary hits. Songs like "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder and "Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash provide a nostalgic backdrop that enhances the emotional resonance of key scenes. Danny Elfman's subtle score also adds to the film's mood, underscoring the characters' emotional journeys without overwhelming the narrative.One of the most remarkable aspects of "Silver Linings Playbook" is its ability to blend humour and drama so seamlessly. The film tackles serious issues—mental illness, loss, and the struggle to move forward—yet it does so with a lightness that never feels forced. The humour arises naturally from the characters and their interactions, providing moments of levity that make the film's more poignant moments all the more impactful.As the film progresses, Pat and Tiffany's relationship evolves unexpectedly. What begins as a tentative friendship rooted in shared pain gradually blossoms into something deeper. Their connection is not a fairy tale romance but a realistic portrayal of two people who find solace and strength in each other's company. The dance competition they enter together becomes a metaphor for their journey—awkward, messy, but ultimately beautiful in its imperfection."Silver Linings Playbook" is a film that resonates on multiple levels. It's a love story, but it's also about family, healing, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of adversity. The film doesn't offer easy answers or neat resolutions, but it does provide a sense of hope—a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is the possibility of finding a silver lining.In conclusion, "Silver Linings Playbook" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates entertaining and thought-provoking films.

We have two episodes of Bold Venture from the early 1950s, Humphrey Bogart Theater from 1948, and the Maltese Falcon on Academy Award Theater from 1946.  More at http://krobcollection.com

In our latest episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, we delve into the 1976 cinematic masterpiece, "Rocky," marking our first full gathering in nearly two months. This episode is particularly poignant as we embark on our "Rocky" journey, paying homage to the late, great Carl Weathers, whose portrayal of Apollo Creed left an indelible mark on the franchise and the hearts of fans worldwide.Directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as the titular character, "Rocky" is not merely a sports film. It is a narrative of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Set against the gritty backdrop of Philadelphia, the film charts the life of Rocky Balboa, an underdog boxer with a chance to defy the odds and prove his worth against the reigning heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed."Rocky" begins by painting a picture of its protagonist as a down-and-out boxer, eking out a living by collecting debts for a loan shark. Stallone's portrayal of Balboa is both vulnerable and endearing, transforming a seemingly ordinary character into an everyman hero. Rocky's mundane existence is upended when Creed, seeking a gimmick for his next fight, selects him as his opponent, offering Balboa a shot at glory previously beyond his wildest dreams.The genius of "Rocky" lies in its ability to balance the brutal reality of boxing with the emotional depth of its characters. Burgess Meredith's performance as Mickey, Rocky's curmudgeonly trainer, adds a layer of grit and wisdom to the narrative. His relationship with Rocky evolves from scepticism to a deep-seated belief in his potential, mirroring the film's overarching theme of redemption and self-discovery.Talia Shire's portrayal of Adrian, Rocky's shy and retiring love interest, brings a tender counterpoint to the film's masculine world. Adrian's transformation from a wallflower to Rocky's pillar of strength encapsulates the film's message of finding courage in the most unexpected places."Rocky" is replete with iconic scenes that have since become ingrained in the cultural lexicon. The image of Rocky, clad in grey sweats, charging up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a symbol of perseverance and determination. Bill Conti's rousing score, featuring the unforgettable "Gonna Fly Now," elevates this scene, transforming it into a cinematic moment of triumph.The climactic fight between Rocky and Apollo Creed is a masterclass in tension and release. Shot with a gritty realism, the match transcends the physical bout to become a metaphor for the fight for self-respect. Carl Weathers' portrayal of Creed is charismatic and formidable, providing the perfect foil to Stallone's Balboa. Their rivalry, marked by mutual respect, underscores the film's nuanced approach to competition and ambition."Rocky" is not without its critics. Some have pointed to its simplistic narrative and idealistic portrayal of the underdog story. However, these criticisms overlook the film's emotional complexity and its reflection on the human spirit. "Rocky" is a testament to the idea that success is not measured by victory alone, but by the courage to stand up and fight for one's dreams.Beyond its narrative, "Rocky" is a technical marvel. The film's innovative use of Steadicam, particularly in the training sequences, lends intimacy and dynamism to Rocky's journey. This technological feat, combined with the raw, unfiltered portrayal of Philadelphia, creates a palpable sense of place and time.The legacy of "Rocky" extends far beyond its initial release. It spawned a successful franchise, elevating Stallone to superstardom and introducing the world to a host of memorable characters. Yet, its cultural impact is perhaps best measured by its enduring appeal. "Rocky" continues to inspire generations with its universal themes of resilience, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.In conclusion, our journey through "Rocky" is a fitting tribute to Carl Weathers and the indomitable spirit of the film itself. "Rocky" stands as a beacon of hope, a reminder that greatness often lies within the reach of those willing to fight for it. As we reflect on this cinematic gem, we are reminded of the power of film to uplift, inspire, and unite. "Rocky" is not just a movie; it is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit.As we wrap up this episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, we look forward to continuing our exploration of the "Rocky" saga, delving deeper into the stories and characters that have captivated audiences for nearly half a century. Join us as we continue to celebrate the legacy of "Rocky" and the unforgettable journey of its beloved characters.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

The boys are in a new locale and with a special guest in tow it's time to tackle Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece - PULP FICTION"Pulp Fiction" (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a film that defies conventional storytelling, blending dark humour, graphic violence, and a disjointed narrative to create a cinematic experience that is as unforgettable as it is controversial. This review aims to dissect the elements that make "Pulp Fiction" a landmark in modern cinema.From the opening credits, Tarantino sets the tone with his eclectic soundtrack choice, a staple in his films. The music in "Pulp Fiction" not only complements the action but often juxtaposes it, creating a unique audio-visual experience that enhances the film's impact.The narrative structure of "Pulp Fiction" is unconventional, to say the least. Tarantino abandons the traditional linear storyline, opting instead for a series of interrelated stories that are out of sequence. This narrative choice not only keeps the audience engaged but also allows for a deeper exploration of the characters and themes. The film's structure can initially disorient viewers, but as the stories intertwine and characters reappear in different contexts, a cohesive picture begins to emerge.The characters in "Pulp Fiction" are as diverse as they are memorable. John Travolta's Vincent Vega and Samuel L. Jackson's Jules Winnfield are hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions, which provides some of the film's most memorable dialogue. Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace, the wife of a mob boss, is both enigmatic and charismatic, leaving a lasting impression with her dance scene with Travolta. Bruce Willis plays Butch Coolidge, a boxer with a code, whose storyline introduces a different angle to the film's exploration of honor and betrayal.Tarantino's dialogue is sharp, witty, and laden with pop culture references. It serves as a tool for character development, revealing depths and nuances that are not immediately apparent. The conversations between characters are often mundane, yet they are delivered with such flair and charisma that they become riveting.The use of violence in "Pulp Fiction" is both graphic and stylized, a hallmark of Tarantino's directorial style. While the violence may be off-putting to some viewers, it is integral to the film's aesthetic and narrative. It's not violence for the sake of violence, but rather a means to explore the characters' morality and the consequences of their actions.Cinematically, "Pulp Fiction" is a tribute to various genres, from crime noir to black comedy and even a nod to the French New Wave. Tarantino's use of long takes, unconventional camera angles, and his ability to build tension through dialogue and silence is masterful. The film's editing, particularly in the way the stories are intercut, enhances the narrative's complexity and keeps the audience guessing.Thematically, "Pulp Fiction" explores redemption, chance, and the randomness of life. The characters are often faced with choices that lead to unexpected consequences. The film challenges traditional notions of heroes and villains, presenting a world where morality is ambiguous and fluid.The performances in "Pulp Fiction" are outstanding across the board. Travolta and Jackson deliver some of their best work, bringing a combination of intensity and humor to their roles. Thurman's portrayal of Mia Wallace is both alluring and haunting, while Willis brings a grounded toughness to Butch. The supporting cast, including Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, and Amanda Plummer, contribute significantly to the film's depth and believability."Pulp Fiction" had a significant impact on popular culture and the film industry. It redefined what a mainstream film could be and influenced a generation of filmmakers. The film's success at the box office and its critical acclaim, including winning the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and receiving multiple Academy Award nominations, cemented Tarantino's status as a major director.In conclusion, "Pulp Fiction" is a cinematic tour de force that combines brilliant writing, stellar performances, and innovative filmmaking. It challenges viewers with its unconventional narrative and moral ambiguity, leaving a lasting impact on both the audience and the film industry. This film is not just a product of its time but a timeless piece that continues to resonate and inspire. Whether viewed as a crime drama, a black comedy, or a postmodern masterpiece, "Pulp Fiction" remains a pivotal work in the history of cinema.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew
