The Nice Guys THE NICE GUYS Regia: Shane Black Interpreti: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Kim Basinger, Margaret Qualley, Matt Bomer Origine e produzione: USA / SILVER PICTURES, WAYPOINT ENTERTAINMENT Durata: 93' Los Angeles, anni Settanta. Lo sfortunato detective privato Holland March e Jackson Healy, un lottatore professionista, devono lavorare insieme per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa e la morte di una porno star, che apparentemente non sembrerebbero correlate. Durante le indagini, però, scopriranno una sconvolgente cospirazione criminale che arriva fino alle più alte sfere del potere. “'Noi come Bud Spencer e Terence Hill? Ma grazie, è un grande complimento'. La sensazione di leggera follia che aleggia sulla Croisette ieri ha accompagnato l’allegria contagiosa della coppia comica uscita dalla fantasia di Shene Blake: Russell Crowe (che si rivela insospettabile fan dei due Superpiedi quasi piatti) e Ryan Gosling, protagonisti di The Nice Guys. Holland March (Gosling) è un detective di scarso talento con figlia adolescente a carico (Angourie Rice) e Jackson Healy (Crowe) un ex poliziotto che si guadagna da vivere spaccando ossa a pagamento nella Los Angeles inquinata e corrotta di fine anni ‘70. Saranno costretti dalle circostanze, e dalla saggia e intrepida ragazzina, a allearsi per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa dopo aver girato un film porno. 'Due idioti che inciampano casualmente in questioni che non sanno gestire, ritrovandosi a scoperchiare una cospirazione di proporzioni gigantesche' secondo Black che li ha voluti per questa variazione sul tema della “buddy cop comedy”, un suo marchio di fabbrica già come sceneggiatore (Arma letale e L’ultimo boy-scout). A fare da sfondo a pasticci, scazzottate, misteriose sparizioni, la Hollywood Boulevard in piena decadenza piegata all’industria del porno. I due funzionano benissimo sul grande schermo. E dal vivo continuano con le gag e i giochi di parole. 'Noi ‘bad men’, uomini cattivi? Io sono Batman e lui è Robin' ironizza Gosling. 'La chimica tra noi è tutto frutto della post-produzione. Russell ha girato da solo in Nuova Zelanda'. Crowe se la ride (...). Si prende in giro volentieri il gladiatore premio Oscar. 'Io uso il metodo Russell Crowe, non ho mai frequentato una scuola di recitazione: recito da quando ho sei anni e con l’età entri più facilmente nei personaggi. Non ho la più pallida idea di cosa sia il metodo Stanislavskij, non mi interessa. Se vuoi fare l’attore, lavora su te tesso. Come diceva Lawrence Olivier, ‘impara le battute e non inciampare nei mobili’'. Shane Black ha un debole per gli attori gigioni (…) The Nice Guys, scritto con il suo co-sceneggiatore di sempre Anthony Bagarozzi, ha avuto una gestazione molto lunga. L’idea di base era sovvertire le regole classiche della detective story, pescando nella tradizione di duetti a sfondo poliziesco da Attenti a quei due con Roger Moore e Tony Curtis a film come California Poker di Altman o Boogie Nights di Paul Thomas Anderson. Un omaggio alle sue passioni: il noir, la Hollywood degli anni più folli, gli anni Settanta smodati e irresistibili, evocati anche dalla colonna sonora a suon di Bee Gees, Kool & The Gang, gli America”. Stefania Ulivi, 'Il Corriere della Sera'.

    L3700 LETHAL WEAPON (USA, 1987) (Other titles: Arma lethale; Arme fatale; Dodbringende veben; Zwei stahlharte profis) Credits: director, Richard Donner ; writer, Shane Black. Cast: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey. Summary: Police thriller set in contemporary Los Angeles. Martin Riggs (Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He is a Vietnam veteran whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a lethal weapon to anyone he works against or with. Roger Murtaugh (Glover), also a veteran, is an easy-going homicide detective with a loving family, a big house, and a pension he does not want to lose. The only thing Murtaugh and Riggs have in common is that they hate to work with partners, but their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation turns into an all-out war with an international heroin ring.

  • Conclusion: What Might a War Film Look Like Going Forward?
    CONCLUSION: WHAT MIGHT A WAR FILM LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD? This text began from a broad perspective that was very much in line with Kellner’s understanding of the power of cinema: Films can also provide allegorical representations that interpret, comment on, and indirectly portray aspects of an era. Further there is an aesthetic, philosophical, and anticipatory dimension to flm, in which they provide artistic visions of the world that might transcend the social context of the moment and articulate future possibilities, positive and negative, and pro- vide insight into the nature of human beings, social relationships, institu- tions, and conficts of a given era. (14) From this point of view, this book considered the movies that it ana- lyzed within the technological and military “eras” they were made and frst viewed within, and considered the ways in which the war flm most often undermined the potential cooperative power of Internet-enabled machine species with a continued focus on the humanistic ethics laid out by Jeffords’ Reagan-era hard body. The “insight” the movies provided reifed the fears and concerns found in the moviemaking machinic phy- lum of Hollywood and its overlap with the American State War Machine, all the while deconstructing the documents as windows into “the nature of human beings, social relationships, institutions, and conficts” as it related to the civilian machinic audience of war flms. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 229 A. Tucker, Virtual Weaponry, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-60198-4 230 CONCLUSION: What MIGHT A WAR FILM LOOK LIKE GOING FOrwarD? This book is being published with the knowledge that, like Interfacing with the Internet in Popular Cinema, it is far from compre- hensive and with the hope that other scholars might pick up some of the initial or underdeveloped thoughts that were begun with this text.

This is why I wanted to write my thesis about film distribution as it will determine the future of the industry itself. The way films are distributed, accessed and consumed will be critical in shaping our future entertainment culture and the way we approach content.
