"content": "\u003cp>America is on fire and the nuclear family is burning in Paul Dano’s melancholic film, \u003cem>Wildlife\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on the novel of the same name by Richard Ford, the film follows the end of a marriage through the eyes of the couple’s teenage son, Joe Brinson (Ed Oxenbould). The family moves from place to place because father Jerry (Jake Gyllenhaal) can’t hold down a job for long. Despite this, mother Jeanette (Carey Mulligan) remains supportive of her husband. But when he takes a job as a firefighter and moves out of their apartment to join the front lines, she’s left without income and—in 1960—with few options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While husband and wife struggle to stave off poverty, a fire rages in the background, an affecting metaphor for a marriage in peril. But Dano, who was in San Francisco earlier this month, adds that what’s being threatened is the American dream, and it’s combustible. “I think that both of these parents are suddenly faced with what their present lives \u003cem>are\u003c/em> rather than the idea of what they were meant to be,” the director explains. “And they implode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843517\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13843517\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson, Ed Oxenbould as Joe Brinson, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jerry Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-768x415.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-1020x552.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-1180x638.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-960x519.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-240x130.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-375x203.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-520x281.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson, Ed Oxenbould as Joe Brinson, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jerry Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.’ \u003ccite>(IFC Films)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Wildlife\u003c/em> quickly conveys the kind of madness that can infect a family without a way to earn money. In a shot that establishes Jerry’s position in society, the camera, low to the ground, focuses on a hand shining a golf shoe. Dano pulls back and widens the frame to reveal Jerry on his knees. When he loses his job at the golf course for being overly familiar with the patrons, we understand his sense of powerlessness and frustration. It’s not enough for his employer that he performs part of his job on his knees, his spirit has to be cowed too. He’s a servant, and not their equal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Jerry off fighting fires, Jeanette’s employment options are just similarly limited. And it is during this transition from marital strife to job search as, essentially, a single mom, that \u003cem>Wildlife\u003c/em> becomes Carey Mulligan’s film. Asking for work and repeatedly rejected, Mulligan smiles all the while, refusing to betray her desperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843518\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13843518\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-160x86.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-800x432.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-768x415.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-1020x551.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-1180x637.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-960x518.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-240x130.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-375x203.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-520x281.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.’ \u003ccite>(IFC Films)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What most drew the director to the source material was a scene in which Ford writes about Joe watching his mother teach a swim class. “He’s seeing everybody around her, probably thinking, ‘There’s a woman who’s got a nice smile. Or there’s a woman who’s got a good figure, or there’s a woman who looks happy,'” Dano says. “But he knows something is wrong. And that’s where the duality is in us, the presentation versus the layers.

The family moves from place to place because father Jerry (Jake Gyllenhaal) can’t hold down a job for long. Despite this, mother Jeanette (Carey Mulligan) remains supportive of her husband. But when he takes a job as a firefighter and moves out of their apartment to join the front lines, she’s left without income and—in 1960—with few options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While husband and wife struggle to stave off poverty, a fire rages in the background, an affecting metaphor for a marriage in peril. But Dano, who was in San Francisco earlier this month, adds that what’s being threatened is the American dream, and it’s combustible. “I think that both of these parents are suddenly faced with what their present lives \u003cem>are\u003c/em> rather than the idea of what they were meant to be,” the director explains. “And they implode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843517\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13843517\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson, Ed Oxenbould as Joe Brinson, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jerry Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-768x415.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-1020x552.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-1180x638.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-960x519.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-240x130.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-375x203.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-2-520x281.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson, Ed Oxenbould as Joe Brinson, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jerry Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.’ \u003ccite>(IFC Films)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Wildlife\u003c/em> quickly conveys the kind of madness that can infect a family without a way to earn money. In a shot that establishes Jerry’s position in society, the camera, low to the ground, focuses on a hand shining a golf shoe. Dano pulls back and widens the frame to reveal Jerry on his knees. When he loses his job at the golf course for being overly familiar with the patrons, we understand his sense of powerlessness and frustration. It’s not enough for his employer that he performs part of his job on his knees, his spirit has to be cowed too. He’s a servant, and not their equal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Jerry off fighting fires, Jeanette’s employment options are just similarly limited. And it is during this transition from marital strife to job search as, essentially, a single mom, that \u003cem>Wildlife\u003c/em> becomes Carey Mulligan’s film. Asking for work and repeatedly rejected, Mulligan smiles all the while, refusing to betray her desperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843518\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13843518\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-160x86.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-800x432.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-768x415.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-1020x551.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-1180x637.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-960x518.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-240x130.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-375x203.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Wildlife-Image-1-520x281.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carey Mulligan as Jeanette Brinson in Paul Dano’s ‘Wildlife.’ \u003ccite>(IFC Films)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What most drew the director to the source material was a scene in which Ford writes about Joe watching his mother teach a swim class. “He’s seeing everybody around her, probably thinking, ‘There’s a woman who’s got a nice smile. Or there’s a woman who’s got a good figure, or there’s a woman who looks happy,'” Dano says. “But he knows something is wrong. And that’s where the duality is in us, the presentation versus the layers. That excited me.” As the pressure builds, Jeanette loses the ability to hide that duality from her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For those who don’t know, vogue balls are part runway shows, part dance competitions, where contestants bust their best moves and strike their hottest poses while dressed in the fiercest finery. Each category in this year’s ball is open to all gender identities and expressions, and each pays homage to a different departed LGBTQ icon, including Marsha P. Johnson, Keith Haring, Alexander McQueen and Frida Kahlo. Sir JoQ, who starred in KQED Arts’ San Francisco episode of \u003cem>If Cities Could Dance\u003c/em>, is one of the featured dancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/E5KjboBraOM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.uptownnightclub.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Purple Ones Halloween Crystal Ball\u003c/a>, Oct. 26\u003cbr>\nThe Uptown, Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prince visits from the beyond at The Purple Ones’ Halloween Crystal Ball, starring the 11-piece Prince tribute band with a full horn section.

Each category in this year’s ball is open to all gender identities and expressions, and each pays homage to a different departed LGBTQ icon, including Marsha P. Johnson, Keith Haring, Alexander McQueen and Frida Kahlo. Sir JoQ, who starred in KQED Arts’ San Francisco episode of \u003cem>If Cities Could Dance\u003c/em>, is one of the featured dancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Costello, Metzler and Springer weren’t just another reality television crew. The trio shared a genuine curiosity about the nutria hunters and their families, forming close relationships with their subjects on over a dozen visits to Louisiana during hunting four seasons.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13843390 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-800x450.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-160x90.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1020x574.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1180x664.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-240x135.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-375x211.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-520x293.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thomas Gonzales in ‘Rodents of Unusual Size’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The filmmakers are no strangers to unusual stories.

Toward the end of school, we both found that nonfiction film was really a lot more interesting than fiction. A few years later, we made our first feature-length documentary film, \u003cem>Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Chris: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I remember when Jeff and I went and saw [the documentary] \u003cem>Fast, Cheap and Out of Control\u003c/em>. It gave me the permission to say, documentaries can be a lot like narrative films and you could take on interesting, unique subject matter that you wouldn’t normally think a film could be made of.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quinn: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my first jobs in film was working as an assistant editor for two veteran documentary filmmakers in the Bay Area, Will Parrinello and John Antonelli. That experience was really priceless because it gave me an access point to see how people are making a living as independent documentary filmmakers. This is one path that you can take. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did the three of you team up to make this film? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quinn: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I met Chris serendipitously at a KQED \u003cem>Truly CA\u003c/em> filmmakers party and was always interested in the films he and Jeff were making. There was some overlap in that I was working on a lot of environmental films. I had this idea, originally, to make a short in Louisiana about nutria, and as it turned out, Chris and Jeff also knew about the subject.

I think it’s worked out really well because I think we each bring different skill sets to the team. I also shot the film, Quinn edited it, and Chris does a lot of the producing. So I think that we can collaborate very well that way, because we kind of have our craft area that we are also able to focus on.

Each episode captures the personal experiences that inform a filmmaker’s work and the risks they take to bring stories to the screen.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Bay Area filmmakers Quinn Costello, Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer, it’s the suspense of not knowing where a story will end up that makes documentaries so exciting. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When they started working on \u003cem>Rodents of Unusual Size\u003c/em> four years ago, they didn’t know if they’d be able to gain the trust of the Louisiana communities fighting to eradicate nutria—an invasive species of monstrous, 20-pound swamp rats wreaking havoc on the wetlands that prevent coastal erosion and help protect residents from hurricanes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“People were really used to TV crews coming and caricaturing them, blowing their stories up and kind of making fun of them,” says Costello. But Costello, Metzler and Springer weren’t just another reality television crew. The trio shared a genuine curiosity about the nutria hunters and their families, forming close relationships with their subjects on over a dozen visits to Louisiana during hunting four seasons.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13843390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13843390 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-800x450.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-160x90.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1020x574.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-1180x664.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-240x135.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-375x211.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/THOMAS_GONZALES-520x293.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thomas Gonzales in ‘Rodents of Unusual Size’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The filmmakers are no strangers to unusual stories.

Toward the end of school, we both found that nonfiction film was really a lot more interesting than fiction. A few years later, we made our first feature-length documentary film, \u003cem>Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Chris: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I remember when Jeff and I went and saw [the documentary] \u003cem>Fast, Cheap and Out of Control\u003c/em>.

"content": "\u003cp>Trauma is not neat and pretty to deal with; it is not easily diagnosed, it does not vanish on its own, and its lingering effects can touch those around us. In the latest sequel to the long and winding \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>series, trauma plays an important role in the narrative arc of famed final girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). You might remember her from the original 1978 John Carpenter film, which saw her screaming, running, discovering her friends brutally murdered, then fending off a serial killer to protect the kids she was babysitting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2018 sequel picks up several decades later, and while it largely conforms to the retro thrills of the “serial killer on the loose” subgenre, it makes something interesting out of Laurie’s earlier experience. In this film, trauma and survivor’s guilt are not swept under the rug, as often happens in sequels. Instead, Laurie’s experience shapes her behavior and her relationship with both her loved ones and the wider world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horror movies have lightly toyed with a character’s trauma for dramatic effect before. In Neil Marshall’s \u003cem>The Descent\u003c/em>, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) tries to cope with the loss of her family in an accident by reuniting with friends and taking a girl’s trip. Things go terribly wrong on the group’s cave-diving adventure, and the memory of her daughter as well as her survivor’s guilt haunt her as she fights off cannibalistic monsters. Wes Craven’s \u003cem>Scream \u003c/em>features Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) struggling to cope with her mother’s murder. When a similar killer starts attacking her classmates, it brings her worst fears back to her doorstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in this present-day \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em>, directed by David Gordon Green, trauma is no mere plot device; it’s the film’s explicit subject. Laurie has become a virtual hermit, closing herself off from a world that saw her more like a freak show than a survivor. She’s quick to shut out journalists looking to make a sensational story out of her experience. In this timeline, which skips all of the other sequels, Laurie arms herself in case serial killer Michael Myers returns. She teaches her daughter how to survive, how to shoot, and when to seek shelter in the family panic room. She’s trying to inoculate her daughter from fully inheriting her trauma, as when young women are taught to walk to their cars with their keys between their fingers. This \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>sets out to explore the emotional cost of seeing a monster in every shadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/ek1ePFp-nBI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie’s insistence that her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) learn to protect herself and check around every corner causes a rift in their relationship: Karen resents her mother for the survivalist training and for exposing her to secondhand paranoia. She settles for a passive husband and refuses to train her own daughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) the way her mother raised her. She naively considers her mother’s trauma to be hers alone and actively tries to separate Laurie from spending time with her granddaughter. In the movie, trying to break the cycle of fear leaves them vulnerable to the man who caused the fear in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see why Karen has so forcefully pushed Laurie out in one especially tense dinner scene: A visibly shaken Laurie shows up late to meet the family at a restaurant, upsetting the shallow pleasantries. Granddaughter Allyson tries to calm her, while daughter Karen becomes confrontational, angry that her mother has shown up at all. Curtis’ performance here is moving — she’s clearly uncomfortable within seconds of sitting down at the table. She keeps looking past the others nervously, while Karen’s body language telegraphs her frustration at the challenges of caring for someone struggling with mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trauma manifests in ways we can’t control, often at times when it isn’t appropriate to cry or scream. Laurie’s instability in these moments is palpable, and helps explain why she took such drastic measures against a (likely supernaturally driven) killer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie’s story could have gone any number of ways. She could have buried her trauma, reliving it only in nightmares. She could have moved to another part of the world. If it’s disappointing to see Laurie Strode turned, here, into a gun-toting survivalist in a standard revenge plot, the actress’ own words may shed some light on that decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Austin’s Fantastic Fest screening last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/jamie-lee-curtis-flips-a-fan-the-bird-and-talks-trauma-at-halloweens-fantastic-fest\">Curtis told the crowd\u003c/a>, “Laurie Strode went back to school on November 1st with a bandage on her arm. She left school on the 31st, this dreaming, intellectual, going-off-to-college girl. And she came back on the first of November a freak, where everybody talked about her. Nobody helped her. And that’s what I think was the reasoning behind going back to the original trauma. And I’m really glad they did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would have been nice if more women could have had some say in the narrative trajectory Laurie has taken, instead of film’s all-male screenwriting trio of Green, Danny McBride and John Fradley. However, this \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em> highlights a question that horror films so often ignore: How does a genre that unleashes so much violence on its characters grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma and grief? Horror filmmakers will always terrorize their characters in the moment, of course — but here’s hoping we’ll start to see more films willing to explore the lingering costs of \u003cem>living \u003c/em>with fear every day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this latest \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>may not accomplish everything it sets out to do, it amply demonstrates how difficult it can be to move on from the ghosts of traumas past.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the movie, trying to break the cycle of fear leaves them vulnerable to the man who caused the fear in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see why Karen has so forcefully pushed Laurie out in one especially tense dinner scene: A visibly shaken Laurie shows up late to meet the family at a restaurant, upsetting the shallow pleasantries. Granddaughter Allyson tries to calm her, while daughter Karen becomes confrontational, angry that her mother has shown up at all. Curtis’ performance here is moving — she’s clearly uncomfortable within seconds of sitting down at the table. She keeps looking past the others nervously, while Karen’s body language telegraphs her frustration at the challenges of caring for someone struggling with mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trauma manifests in ways we can’t control, often at times when it isn’t appropriate to cry or scream. Laurie’s instability in these moments is palpable, and helps explain why she took such drastic measures against a (likely supernaturally driven) killer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie’s story could have gone any number of ways. She could have buried her trauma, reliving it only in nightmares. She could have moved to another part of the world. If it’s disappointing to see Laurie Strode turned, here, into a gun-toting survivalist in a standard revenge plot, the actress’ own words may shed some light on that decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Austin’s Fantastic Fest screening last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/jamie-lee-curtis-flips-a-fan-the-bird-and-talks-trauma-at-halloweens-fantastic-fest\">Curtis told the crowd\u003c/a>, “Laurie Strode went back to school on November 1st with a bandage on her arm. She left school on the 31st, this dreaming, intellectual, going-off-to-college girl. And she came back on the first of November a freak, where everybody talked about her. Nobody helped her. And that’s what I think was the reasoning behind going back to the original trauma. And I’m really glad they did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would have been nice if more women could have had some say in the narrative trajectory Laurie has taken, instead of film’s all-male screenwriting trio of Green, Danny McBride and John Fradley. However, this \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em> highlights a question that horror films so often ignore: How does a genre that unleashes so much violence on its characters grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma and grief? Horror filmmakers will always terrorize their characters in the moment, of course — but here’s hoping we’ll start to see more films willing to explore the lingering costs of \u003cem>living \u003c/em>with fear every day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this latest \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>may not accomplish everything it sets out to do, it amply demonstrates how difficult it can be to move on from the ghosts of traumas past.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The central event of \u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> is clearly based on the 2014 slaying of Eric Garner by NYPD officers on Staten Island, although writer-director Reinaldo Marcus Green has altered both the location and the cause of death. Yet the killing of loose-cigarette peddler Big D (Samel Edwards) takes place literally in the background. This evocative drama is most concerned about the aftermath, viewed from three different angles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green is clearly fascinated by vantage points, as he demonstrates with a prologue that introduces an African-American man, Dennis (John David Washington), as a face in his car’s rear-view mirror. It’s a face whose expression turns from blithe to anxious with the warning bleat of a police cruiser’s siren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> was filmed exquisitely by Pat Scola, who follows the characters through Brooklyn and Manhattan with a handheld camera, conveying intimacy and distance simultaneously. The camerawork captures the feeling of being at home in the crowd, but with the nagging awareness that trouble could lurk around the next corner, and is as likely to come from cops as criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/4AnpybNQ-hU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not simply the story of a black and Latino community oppressed by white police officers. Dennis, it turns out, is a cop. It’s a job he’s proud to have, even after Big D’s death sparks protests and reprisals. In one of the movie’s most emotionally complex scenes, Dennis defends the NYPD from the anger of a friend who’s come to his house for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before circling back to Dennis, though, Green introduces Manny (Anthony Ramos), a buddy of Big D and a guy with a few hustles of his own. Manny is there when the neighborhood fixture is shot, and records the action on his mobile phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manny has reasons to be cautious: He shares a young daughter and a promising future with his pregnant girlfriend (Jasmine Cephas Jones, who like Ramos was in the original cast of \u003cem>Hamilton\u003c/em>). Disseminating the video of Big D’s killing is likely to threaten all that, since the footage appears to contradict the police’s official story of what happened. But how can Manny suppress this evidence when the cops are falsely claiming they shot Big D in self-defense?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third chapter shifts to Zyrick (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), a high-schooler whose baseball skills may clear a path out of the neighborhood. The kid’s father (Rob Morgan), who just happens to also be a cop, encourages Zyrick to concentrate on his potential sports career and ignore the local controversy. But baseball seems less consequential than protest, especially when the latter is being organized by an alluring young woman played by Chante Adams. (This development echoes one in \u003cem>BlacKKKlansman\u003c/em>, which starred John David Washington as a similarly conflicted, albeit more impulsive, cop.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the cinematic visual style, \u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> is stagey in places. It also includes a few clunky motifs, notably a recurring bit with paper airplanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that’s most likely to divide audiences, though, is the movie’s lack of a tidy resolution. The three stories are left hanging, as is the Internal Affairs investigation of Big D’s death. Onscreen, at least, justice is not done, and the truth is not revealed. Even what the audience sees of Manny’s video is inconclusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s the point. \u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> offers neither unalloyed despair nor implausible hope. It’s about the way people of color live now, moving through the streets with passion, purpose and one eye on the rear-view mirror.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s a face whose expression turns from blithe to anxious with the warning bleat of a police cruiser’s siren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> was filmed exquisitely by Pat Scola, who follows the characters through Brooklyn and Manhattan with a handheld camera, conveying intimacy and distance simultaneously. The camerawork captures the feeling of being at home in the crowd, but with the nagging awareness that trouble could lurk around the next corner, and is as likely to come from cops as criminals.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4AnpybNQ-hU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4AnpybNQ-hU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>This is not simply the story of a black and Latino community oppressed by white police officers.

Manny is there when the neighborhood fixture is shot, and records the action on his mobile phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manny has reasons to be cautious: He shares a young daughter and a promising future with his pregnant girlfriend (Jasmine Cephas Jones, who like Ramos was in the original cast of \u003cem>Hamilton\u003c/em>). Disseminating the video of Big D’s killing is likely to threaten all that, since the footage appears to contradict the police’s official story of what happened. But how can Manny suppress this evidence when the cops are falsely claiming they shot Big D in self-defense?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third chapter shifts to Zyrick (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), a high-schooler whose baseball skills may clear a path out of the neighborhood. The kid’s father (Rob Morgan), who just happens to also be a cop, encourages Zyrick to concentrate on his potential sports career and ignore the local controversy. But baseball seems less consequential than protest, especially when the latter is being organized by an alluring young woman played by Chante Adams. (This development echoes one in \u003cem>BlacKKKlansman\u003c/em>, which starred John David Washington as a similarly conflicted, albeit more impulsive, cop.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the cinematic visual style, \u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> is stagey in places. It also includes a few clunky motifs, notably a recurring bit with paper airplanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that’s most likely to divide audiences, though, is the movie’s lack of a tidy resolution. The three stories are left hanging, as is the Internal Affairs investigation of Big D’s death. Onscreen, at least, justice is not done, and the truth is not revealed. Even what the audience sees of Manny’s video is inconclusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s the point. \u003cem>Monsters and Men\u003c/em> offers neither unalloyed despair nor implausible hope. It’s about the way people of color live now, moving through the streets with passion, purpose and one eye on the rear-view mirror.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Jonathan Li’s directorial debut follows a detective in the great tradition of loose cannons on the trail of a gang of gold smugglers. The waterlogged fight scenes set a new standard (and demand to be seen on the big screen), but Li’s main concern is blasting the failed promise of capitalism and the corruption that undergirds contemporary Hong Kong.

You might have seen the 2014 horror movie \u003cem>Unfriended\u003c/em>, where a group chat suddenly turns deadly — basically the Skype version of Agatha Christie’s \u003cem>And Then There Were None.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a thriller, \u003cem>Searching\u003c/em> is less violent, more compassionate and equally gripping.

Anyone who can wring tension simply from the pulsing colors of a screensaver clearly knows what he’s doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everything we see unfolds through the eyes of David Kim, a Silicon Valley widower played by John Cho. Because we’re almost always looking at David’s screen, we see his face only when it shows up on his webcam, like when he’s FaceTiming with his 16-year-old daughter, Margot, played by Michelle La.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actors have a lovely rapport, and Cho’s concerned-dad routine is at once funny, moving and completely dead-on. When David sends Margot a text message playfully chiding her for not taking out the trash, he makes sure to include a photo of the overflowing garbage can. Margot replies that she’ll empty it when she gets home that night. Except that she never comes home, and David finds himself living every parent’s worst nightmare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only clues to Margot’s whereabouts can be found on her laptop, and not long after reporting her missing to the police, David begins scouring his daughter’s hard drive for clues. At the advice of Detective Rosemary Vick, played by Debra Messing, he starts calling Margot’s Facebook contacts and asking when they last saw her. He pores over Margot’s calendar and Venmo account, and even raids her personal video diaries. As he watches them he realizes, to his shame, that he didn’t know his daughter as well as he thought. Nor did he see how profoundly lonely a person she had become.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, David has to confront the possibility that Margot ran away from home, though the fact that she called him three times the night of her disappearance would seem to contradict that theory. But much more will soon come to light — some of it involving Margot’s online contacts, and some of it involving David’s younger brother, played by Joseph Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the other computer-screen thrillers we’ve seen, like \u003cem>Unfriended\u003c/em> and the Elijah Wood shocker \u003cem>Open Windows\u003c/em>, played out in real time, with no cuts or breaks. Watching them could be exhausting, but they also left you feeling hard-wired into the user’s experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because \u003cem>Searching\u003c/em> unfolds over the course of a week, Chaganty and his co-writer, Sev Ohanian, have to compress David’s investigation into byte-sized chunks. The result may breathe and flow a little better as storytelling, but without the real-time element, it’s also a less tense, less immersive experience. At key moments the movie cuts to online news footage of the ongoing police investigation, and the summary feels like a bit of a cop-out — a lazy way to maintain the movie’s gimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story’s second half is packed with all manner of fiendishly clever surprises and red herrings, and I’m not sure if the twists are rendered more or less convincing by the movie’s online-all-the-time interface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does linger in the end, all too plausibly, is Chaganty’s vision of an era in which every facet of life is increasingly mediated by technology, our relationships very much included.
