Title: Du bon usage du « négatif »
Review: « La vie rêvée de Walter Mitty » joué et réalisé par Ben Stiller étonne par sa poésie, ses images magnifiques et son scénario finalement aussi simple que convaincant.La première surprise du film vient de Ben Stiller lui-même, qui incarne avec une sobriété plutôt inattendue Walter Mitty, un employé de 42 ans qui a passé 16 ans à classer et exploiter les négatifs des photos publiées par le prestigieux magazine Life. Sa vie ressemble à son métier. Walter n’évolue que dans l’envers du décor. En renonçant à un voyage en Europe, à la suite de la mort précoce de son père, il s’est mis au service de sa famille et ne se projette plus dans le monde qu’au travers de rêves qu’il conserve secrètement en son for intérieur. A l’image des négatifs, sa vie peut sembler sombre, plate et terne, mais ne demande qu’à se « développer » à la bonne occasion. La perte de la photo de la couverture du dernier n° de Life (censée être remplacée par un e-Life sur Internet) s’avère être le « révélateur » qui manquait à Walter pour enfin vivre réellement sa vie. Le scénario, pour poursuivre la métaphore photographique, s’évertue à démontrer la vertu « positive » de l’amour désintéressé (d’une femme, de sa famille, de son métier, de ses collègues ou de la nature) pour avancer dans la vie. Le bonheur est souvent à portée de main, même s’il faut parcourir des milliers de kilomètres pour réellement s’en apercevoir.Autour de Ben Stiller qui porte presque tout seul le film sur ses épaules, les seconds rôles sont néanmoins consistants : Kristen Wiig (Cheryl, la femme dont il est secrètement amoureux), Shirley MacLaine (sa mère), Sean Penn (le légendaire photographe Sean O’Connell), Adam Scott (en méchant hypster cynique), Patton Oswalt (en patron de site de rencontre) ou encore un savoureux pilote d’hélicoptère groenlandais imbibé de bière nous enchantent. Si l’on devine rapidement où le film nous emmène – sans parler des lieux, Groenland, Islande ou Afghanistan, mais plutôt de son message – il le fait avec telle légèreté et une subtilité si appréciable que l’on y va le coeur grand ouvert, en quête d’émotions. À la fois drôle et émouvant « La vie rêvée de Walter Mitty » est un joli conte cinématographique, plus intemporel qu’il n’y parait au premier abord. À voir pour dépasser son quotidien !

Title: Super film avec Ben Stiller
Review: J’avais vu le film au cinéma suite à la recommandation d’une amie. C’est un très bon film de Ben Stiller qui est différent de ceux qu’on a l’habitude de voir.Au départ, Walter est plutôt timoré et à vivre dans son imaginaire. Mais à la suite de difficultés professionnelles, il se met à voyager et commence à devenir une toute autre personne.On découvre alors des paysages magnifique accompagnés d’une bande son superbe (la scène avec la music de David Bowie) . On se laisse emporter par le voyage de Walter et on prend surtout plaisir à le voir évoluer. Ce film nous permet de nous poser des questions et donne surtout envie de partir à l’aventure. C’est un film très positif et le rôle va vraiment bien à Ben Stiller . Et l’apparition de Sean Penn est géniale..

Title: Très Bon film par contre …. La Fox
Review: vraiment bien, Ben Stiller nous fait voyager et rêver avec ce filmPour ce qui est du Bluray :Un magnifique menuDes Bonus au top avec les scènes coupées dont on se demande pourquoi elles l’ont été …Pistes son : Français en DTS Surround 768 kbits/s Vraiment la Fox se fout de jotre gueule c’est du DTS de DVD …Anglais : Du lourd DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 ~ 4.3Mbits/sImage : De belles couleurs et un contraste bien géréPar contre gros coup de gueule encore pour la Fox : Le film intégre des petits messages écrits par exemple le magnifique générique du film, ces messages étaient en français au cinéma et là on se tape à la place de l’anglais avec des sous titres que l’on ne peut même pas enlever … Vraiment dommage car l’intégration de ces messages au film étaient parfait … j’enlève donc une étoile pour ça …

Title: Le conte est beau …
Review: Inspiré d’ une nouvelle de James Thurber parue en 1939 et adaptée au cinéma en … 1947 ! cette nouvelle version qui aurait du voir le jour bien plus tôt – depuis 1994, Ron Howard et Steven Spielberg avaient envisagé de réaliser le film, côté acteurs les noms de Jim Carrey, Owen Wilson et plus récemment Sacha Baron Cohen (!) avaient circulé – finalement c’ est l’ imprévisible et talentueux Ben Stiller qui a hérité du bébé (en tant que réalisateur et acteur principal) et on se dit que ça valait le coup d’ attendre !Dans un rôle taillé pour lui, Ben Stiller réussit non seulement à nous émouvoir en loser amoureux qui ‘déconnecte’ de la réalité en s’imaginant super-héro rédempteur, mais parvient aussi à nous faire rire et voyager dans de superbes paysages mais surtout … à nous donner envie de réaliser nos propres rêves (rien que ça !). le tout est vraiment bien filmé et bien qu’assez classique dans le développement, regorge de trouvailles amusantes.Véritable hymne à la beauté de la nature et à l’ aventure, critique de la société moderne déshumanisée (en particulier le monde du travail), le message du film pourrait se résumer ainsi : bougez-vous et vivez !!! … Alors certes les ficelles sont un peu grosses, mais l’ objectif atteint son but : nous divertir et nous faire rêver … et n’ est-ce pas là l’ essentiel ?Merci Monsieur Stiller pour ce beau voyage …

Review: (Be Advised – SPOILERS)This is not a movie that should have worked, and looking at Rotten Tomatoes, many of the critics did not think it did (though 3/4 of the viewers liked it). It’s not a great film. 12 Years a Slave was a great film…which I nonetheless hated, coming away from it from feeling empty and manipulated. In contrast, I was deeply moved by Walter Mitty, profoundly more so than that other, Important Film. I came out of Walter Mitty feeling a genuine sense of uplift and wellness, which, though it didn’t really track with the content, was actually there.The film is loosely based on a wisp of a story by James Thurber (which, despite being an undergrad English Major, and despite « Walter Mitty » being a cultural shorthand for a big-dreaming little-man, I never read until today). The movie begins with Walter Mitty, a « negatives assets » worker (there are two in his department) at LIFE Magazine, on the day it has been acquired and is being turned into an online-only product. The usual corporate white-collared goons come in from the head office to execute the unfit (they all, inexplicably, have beards), with the lead, Ted Hendricks, being played by Adam Scott (who I loved in Tell Me You Love Me). That’s happening as Mitty has been smitten by Cheryl Melhoff (Kristin Wiig), who is a recent divorcee, and newly employed at LIFE. As the film opens, Mitty is trying to « wink » her through eHarmony, and is being shut down by the site for not having done enough with his life. Whence he meets Todd, the helpful customer service rep who befriends Walter and acts as an appreciative fan through the film.The plot pivots around the missing « negative 25 », sent to Walter for the last cover of LIFE by the famous and maverick photographer, Sean O’Connell. Cheryl plants the seed to go seek out O’Connell (played by a beautifully scruffy Sean Penn), which he does, with a trip to Iceland and then Afghanistan. He returns, settles scores with Hendricks, and gets the girl.It shouldn’t work, at all.So how does it work? Well, let me lay out the ways I don’t think it works.Number one: Ben Stiller is not the right actor to play Thurber’s Walter. You look in his face and it’s not that of a beaten down everyman. The vacuity of Derek Zoolander insouciant mug is gone. There’s depth, history, strength, and self-awareness. He’s not broken and he knows what is going on in the world around him, and what people are, and (essentially) how to engage them. He daydreams, true, but they are not the pathetic compensations of a man who is at heart a coward. That’s not Walter’s heart, which is clear from very early on in the film. He’s not looking out at the world through a fog of failure and weakness. There’s already a strength and perceptiveness in him from the beginning. Therefore he’s not a believable Walter Mitty, as Thurber portrayed him.Secondly, the setup: Small man discovers his Bigness by facing and overcoming trials of strength and courage, and winning the girl. Well, in a sense that’s the Hero’s Journey, so that’s OK, as a structure, but dangerously trite. If it was done more straight, with earnestness on the part of the film, it would have been treacly awfulness.Third, the Other Places and Other People as Route to Awakening. That could have also been painfully done. Really painfully. I tend to avoid these film premises, so nothing comes to mind immediately as an example. But the thought of the Wise Native makes me start gagging like a cat with a hair ball. (Please don’t go all Avatar, either. In that film, it’s the half-breed that saves the natives.)But with all that, why does it work and how does it work?I think Stiller’s goal is essentially to present the feeling of the state of self-integration as a tone. It’s that state which Mitty solidifies through facing himself, via following through with his quest. Stiller doesn’t seem to care to present a map of the way there, in its details. Unlike, perhaps, some 60’s story of travel to India to find enlightenment, Stiller is not saying, « Here’s how you have to do it. » He doesn’t care about presenting a « credible » portrait of the journey that Mitty is on. He’s not bound to Mitty as the Thurber or the quest structure would seem to define the character. Mitty, once moving (which, I’d argue, is from the moment he pushes Cheryl’s « wink » button), is real, engaged, with depth, and with a power of his choices. He doesn’t waffle when he chooses. Even in the bar, in Iceland, deciding not to go with the drunken helicopter pilot is not a craven choice. It’s actually quite rational and understandable not to go over a frozen body of water with a man you just met, who will likely pass out at the control of a several ton machine suspended off a whirligig. That scene does not match with a character who is supposed to be a weak, ineffectual, daydreamy man. His choice to go is not, then, overcoming cowardice, but rather, embracing audaciousness and chance. That’s very different.Mitty’s journey is not so much a depiction of transformation, as of coming out of pause mode (begun as a kind of shock reaction to his father dying when he was young).So, if Stiller is not presenting a real depiction of transformation, or a map to courage and change, then why has he not failed? If he uses cliched structures and plot devices, why does the movie not feel hackneyed and unearned?Because, again, I don’t think that’s his intention. The secondary characters–Cheryl, the helicopter pilot, Hernando the other negative assets guy, Todd at eHarmony, even Bearded Corporate Lackey–are too full and have too many moments that point to (even if not fleshed out) inner lives, which are not pre-programmed by the film’s overt conventions. There’s too much interiority to these characters, who should, if the external structures (of quest, transformation, seeking-the-girl) be shells or ciphers, organized around Mitty. But they’re not.Instead, the film gives a series of events, characters, and locations which are all tonally consistent. The beautiful mountains of Afghanistan, the starkly sumptuous Iceland and the rugged space of Greenland; the quirky foreigners and sailors; the fighting of a shark without totally freaking out; skate boarding down a scary-steep road; outrunning a volcano. They are all underlay by a tone, like a subliminal musical drone that colors all the overt notes, which, although those notes may adhere to a certain « melodic » structure, are fundamentally changed by the foundational harmonic, being the integration of the self with itself.The encounter with Sean O’Connell is the keystone of this. O’Connell should be the Wise Man on the Mountain. He’s a man of the Old Ways (he still shoots on film, is geographically enigmatic, and is unconcerned with money), who Mitty, literally stumbles over on top of a mountain, laying in wait to photograph the rare snow leopard (referencing Peter Mathiasson’s book, The Snow Leopard, about a quest for enlightenment symbolized by the leopard). The potential for rank kitsch is breathtaking. Yet O’Connell is played, and directed, as an actual man, with his own particular interior that is not beholden to the external trappings of the character, but who is real, spontaneous, and wise in his way, without being a cloying prick about it. He does not represent what should be striven for. Rather, he’s another of the film’s elaborations on the felt quality of a state.So, that’s all why The Secret Life of Walter Mitty works, because it’s not about what it looks like it’s about. Rather, it’s a series and collection of « carrier melodies, » that allow for that underlying drone to be communicated, the tone of the state of self-integration, of an interior self that matches an exterior self. The trappings are not the point. The beautiful scenery and the foreigners in foreign lands are not the point. The point is to have two hours of exposure to a state, which is your state, which is what the felt-sense of that integration is. That’s why it works.

Review: Premetto che mi piace molto Ben Stiller e in questo film, di cui è anche regista, non mi ha deluso. Il protagonista, pur sapendo che perderà il lavoro, si lancia in un avventuroso inseguimento per completare il suo ultimo compito, e affrontando varie prove si trasformerà da piccolo travet sfigato in uomo forte e deciso. Ovviamente arriverà anche l’amore, quindi è un pò commedia, un pò action film, un pò love story, con tanti effetti speciali e soprattutto lo sfondo di paesaggi (Islanda, Afghanistan) fantastici.

Review: A new film version of the James Thurber short story about a man who escapes his humdrum daily life by getting into exciting day dreams.Like all films of short stories, it bears no resemblance to the original other than taking the main idea and going it’s own way with it.Thus it bears no resemblance to the original film version starring Danny Kaye other than having the same basic plot as that did also.Ben Stiller stars and directs.Walter works for life magazine, has a crush on a co-worker [Kristen Wiig] and can’t complete an online dating profile properly because he doesn’t have much – if anything – he can put on it.Anything that he’s done in reality and not his imagination, that is.When the magazine faces closure, and the last ever issue is due, a famous photographer [Sean Penn] sends in a photo for the cover. But the negative isn’t where it should be. And the quest for it sends Walter on a real life adventure more spectacular than anything he could ever have imagined…This is a project that was in development for a long time, and went through many potential leads and directors. All of the previous choices, you might expect, would have turned it into an out and out comedy. But Ben Stiller manages something different and far more subtle.There’s occasional character comedy here, all of which arises as it should from character interaction rather than the need for a joke every few minutes. The film starts slowly, but with a purpose. Just to ease you into the reality of Walter’s ordinary life, before pushing him off on adventure.But what catches the eye is the direction. The film jumps from fantasy to reality so seamlessly, with visuals that mesh together perfectly. And the music adds to all this. It’s a famous and very subtle score that does enhance the mood.The aim of which is to inspire and make you relate to the main character. Which it succeeds in doing, because when he finally makes one very brave leap, the moment is cinema magic.With stunning location photography throughout, this is a treat for the eye. And the writing is clever, managing to let the plot develop nicely with some surprises along the way.Sometimes in life you get inspired. Something makes you want to break the routine and do something new and different. This film is one of those that will make you feel like that. Not least because it’s subtle about the points it’s trying to make, so you get them completely.Superbly directed, very well acted, and an inspiring experience. Watch it. It might just make you change your life. If you dare.The dvd box says that it only has language and subtitle options in English, but the set up menu on the disc actually gives the following:Languages: English. Russian. Ukrainian.Subtitles: English Danish Finnish Norwegian Russian Swedish Estonia Latvian Lithuanian Ukrainian.The disc doesn’t start with any trailers, and goes straight to the main menu when loaded.Extras are:The look of life.The music of Walter Mitty.Two featurettes, both running no more than five minutes [approx.]. about the look of the life magazine set and the score of the film. Both are very interesting but a bit too short to have as much impact as they could.However Skateboarding through Iceland, a two minute long compilation of film of a key sequence being filmed, is a quite interesting look at how it was done.There’s also a short section of reference photographs that the film used for some of the key scenes, which can be navigated through via the menu keys on the dvd remote.
