Burt Lancaster’s Oil with a 100 % rotten tomato degree is perfect for Landman fans

Black Gold: The Clampett family has made them rich and took them from Ozarks to Beverly Hills in “The Beverly Hillbillies”, and still makes billionaire people today. Oil was extracted for the first time for use in China more than 2000 years ago, but it flourished in the twentieth century thanks to the arrival of cars, electrical lighting and increased demand for plastic consumer goods. Despite concerns about climate change and innovation in the field of clean and renewable energy, oil and gas production remains one of the largest industries in the world, as the United States produces about 13 million barrels of crude oil per day. However, although he is a record factor behind today’s community, there are still relatively few films and TV shows on this topic. One of the latest to explore this wide topic is Taylor Sheridan “Landman”, “Landman”, “, The new offer that explores the policy and risks of the modern oil industry.

Billy Bob Thornton plays the role of Tommy Norris, the man on the ground for billionaires who earn real money from oil, which was embodied in this case by Monte Miller, which resembles sharks John Ham. As is usual for Sheridan, “Landman” displays the industry as certain aspects of the new American border, and the width is at the utmost installation when it fails behind the scenes of a society based on oil and daily difficulties of difficult men such as Norris.

Like many stories in the world of oil (Like “there will be blood” And “Deepwateer Horizon”), the main dramatic factors in “Landman” are capitalist greed and a very real danger. However, as Campetts proved in the 1960s, the oil tales do not need to be all very slope. In fact, fans of the last Sheridan series can treat themselves at a lighter angle with “Bill Forseth”, a British jewel of Bert Lancaster, which currently holds a 100 % rating on Spoiled tomatoes.

Just two years after beating the box office with “Gregory’s Girl”, the Scottish writer and director Forsyth returned with a mysterious story from an American executive who is sent to acquire a picturesque Scottish village as a new oil refinery site. It is often “Whisky Galore”, “Hero Local Hero”, compared to the classic comedy of Ealing “Whisky Galore!” , One of the best British films since its release in 1983.

Felix Happy Lancaster is the eccentric owner of Knox, a huge oil and gas company in Houston, Texas. It is more interested in the universe than being one of its latest acquisitions, but it chooses a material executive (Peter Riegert) to go to Scotland and buy the small coastal village of Al -Naghama to make way for a truly ugly oil refinery. Mac prefers to do this over the phone, but Happy insists that he personally goes to speak to his “people”, despite the fact that he is not really a Scottish. Happy gives him a side task to monitor the sky in the Virgin Conscience of any comets.

Upon his arrival in Aberdeen, Danny Olsen (Peter Kabaldi) receives Kalo Yong Nox actor. During a short stop at the Nox Research Laboratory, they also meet from Marina (Jenny Siggrv), a mysterious marine researcher who looks more at home than the ground. Once Mac and OldSen arrived at the village, they settle in bed and the local breakfast run by Gordon Urquhart (Denis Lawson), which also doubles as the Mac accountant needs to work with him to secure the deal. Only when we prepare for a classic story of detained villagers who use their intelligence to thwart a huge company aimed at destroying their home, the “local hero” is moving in a different direction. Local residents literally dance to a dance to the possibility of selling, and they imagine what they will do by cutting money. However, there is one obstacle that prevents the deal, however – Ben Nox (Volton Macai), the friendly friendly beach that coincides with the entire beach that connects the village to the sea. Meanwhile, Danny is on Marina, and things happen in the sky with meteorites and northern lights, which raises a lot of happiness in Texas.

The final result of the “Hero Local Hero” is likely to be a big surprise, but Bill Forsith gently spoils our expectations every step on the road. It is a film in which there is no evil, the winding conspiracy and a lot of humor is organically evolving. All this plays greatly in winning the performance of the entire actors, not the least of which is never Raigger and the Lancaster screen, which sprays small magic dust on the movie every time it is on the screen.

Bill Forseth was born in Glasgow, and the “local hero” is full of sarcastic Scottish humor, in a state of alert to the points of human behavior and goodness in the amusement of mockery. There are clear similarities with “Brigadoon”, where Furnes comes out of fog and gradually fascinates in an American city; The film is similarly regretted with its anomalous integrity and the texture of magic realism, from the strange routines of villagers to the presence of a woman who may be the true mermaid.

I really didn’t get a “local hero” when I saw him for the first time in adolescence, perhaps because it was very accurate for me at that time. However, the emotion was overcome on a modern hour without being able to determine the exact cause; Riegert is very similar to Mac, and she gradually won through her charm. We can guess from the beginning that he will find itself in Scotland, and the heart of the movie is how to gently wrap it with the life of the village and the wonders of nature, fascinating the small creatures that flow into the tidal gathering that wanders in the sky of the night. It is a beautiful film filmed, with the cinematic filming of Chris Menges, the splendor of the Scottish coast without resorting to the treatment of the postcard. I can also not exaggerate the amount of Mark Knopfler that you contribute to the atmosphere, as it gradually built in the hymn of joy.

The “local hero” managed to carry his environmental message in a speaking in the word that never appears as a sermon. Forseth’s scenario employs sarcastic elements, such as the comic council meetings and a large amount of amounts of amounts of village in an evil Bond research facility, but the risk of the potential destruction of Furnes for profit is more deeply unfolded in waking up from the Mac.

Cherry at the top is Bert Lancaster as happy Felix. Hollywood’s idol was close to the end of a profession that spanned more than 40 years Nine perfect films (according to spoiled tomatoes)But it was rarely more pleasant than it was here. On paper, Happy is a fairly strange character, more than Tycoon, but Lancaster plays directly with the anger air of the person who can feel something great about the occurrence. Which, of course, is; The “local hero” is a small but detailed film that draws a miracle balance between feeling satisfied and depressed.
