Review of Blue Car (2003) by Kathie H — 10 Jan 2008
David Strathairn is one of the best character actors in modern cinema. The character he plays is just another sort of huckster (I love it when he tries to pass of Rainier Maria Rilke's writing as his own).
This movie is disturbing but the subject matter is relatively common in real life. I find it comical that teacher-student relationships get so much mainstream press when these kinds of quasi-father-daughter "Lolita" relationships have been going on for centuries.
The right-wing crazies (like Rupert Murdoch) act like this kind of thing is so abhorrent but they are consistently titillated & obsessed by it. Oh wait! It sells papers & makes people want to watch Faux News! Got it.
