Review of Blue Car (2003) by Jason Y — 05 Jul 2005
[b]TV[/b] Second Viewing, 1 Moncrieff film seen.
Last night, Megan was telling me about a scene in Neil Labute's [i]In the Company of Men[/i]. I saw the film years ago but couldn't remember much of it. Anyway, Aaron Eckhart is talking to a new hire about how he needs "big brass balls" to succeed in the business. Eckhart gets carried away in his own manliness and eventually tells the man to show him his balls. The man does.
The point is that Eckhart didn't really want to see his balls. The moment the man exposes himself to Eckhart we can tell that Eckhart is thinking "WTF!?".
Why did I share this little story before my review of [i]Blue Car[/i]?
I think that scene and the entirity of [i]Blue Car[/i] share some of the same psychology. By the ending, we see the regret of Strathairn's character. It's hard to forgive him, but we understand how he wishes he could just turn back time. At least I would like to hope so. What do you think?
