But if things were so dire humanity was about to get wiped out, how did future humans accomplish this to begin with? In Interstellar's third act, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) drops himself into the back hole and he lands inside a tesseract that was placed there by so-called "future humans." This enables him to communicate with his daughter Murph (Jessica Chastain) and give her the information she needs to save the people of Earth. InterstellarĬhristopher Nolan left even the most attentive viewers puzzled with his 2014 sci-fi epic. He couldn't save Llewelyn or stop Chigurh, so the only left was to retire. Bell is in essence the movie's true protagonist, as the story is about him realizing he's done all he can and the world is moving too fast for him to keep up. Everything moviegoers need to know is in the title. Bell was reflecting upon his life and how now it was probably time for him for move on and join his father, wherever he went. Viewers were so invested in Anton's pursuit of Llewelyn that most missed how this sequence conveys the main theme of No Country for Old Men. The film ends with Ed saying "And then I woke up" before fading to black. Recently retied sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) tells his wife about a dream involving his later father, in which he rides past Bell to go light a fire somewhere. But at some point you have just pull the plug, get the thing done and live with the fact that it won’t be perfect and just put it out there.Instead of seeing an old fashioned Western shootout, the Coen brothers' Best Picture winner was criticized by some for ending rather anticlimactically, as villain Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) kills Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) off-screen and escapes from the authorities. “I have 80 hours of footage and the story keeps evolving. van Straten hopes to complete it soon and perhaps try to sell to Netflix and donate some of the proceeds. Currently in its editing phase, it’s a documentary about saving elephants in Africa. It’s perhaps this type of deep introspection that has led van Straten to take on one of her most difficult roles yet: documentary filmmaker. Hopefully the writing gives you that leeway that your character is correct.” And with Bree I could relate to her loss that tipped the scales and that, from her viewpoint, made her correct. Then we got to know her back story and it deepened my feeling from her perspective of being a prostitute in 1905. “I always try to make my characters different, but with Pam and Bree there are parallels,” said van Straten.

If we’re going to have 8 billion people we need to be more efficient in how we use and consume things. “Every challenge I think about on this earth that I love so much comes back to over population. “That’s just the trick, to try and get viewers to think about deeper issues they aren’t used to thinking about,” said van Straten.

“I like when there is a justification or at least a backstory, and in the case of Paradise Cove, my character Bree makes a crazy, but good, argument.”īree’s argument in the movie involves an impassioned speech, reminding others that where they reside was once Native American chumash land. “If I am playing a psychotic killer-which is my type casting and I love-I want to somehow make the audience root for her by the end of the movie,” said van Straten. I had the opportunity to catch up with actress Kristin Bauer van Straten who plays Bree in Paradise Cove to learn how she got into character and learn more about the movie’s not-so-subtle subtext of homelessness in America.Īccording to van Straten, a passionate animal rights activist, the metaphor for homelessness and overpopulation was apparent while reading the script and provided a sound base to build her character. Bree develops a psycho-sexual relationship with Knox and becomes unhinged, threatening their marriage, their dream, and their lives. Their plans take a twisted turn when Knox discovers Bree-a mysterious and beautiful ex-model, now a homeless woman living under the house. The synopsis of Paradise Cove couldn’t be more lurid: mid-westerners Knox and Tracey arrive in Malibu to renovate his late mother's beach house and to make a baby.
