What Just Happened What Just Happened
Barry Levinson
Paradise Lost film
"The film world is a cruel and shallow trickle of money where thieves and pimps run at large, and decent people crack like dogs. But then there is a downside. " So says Bruce Willis in a scene from the film, and the description seems to fit perfectly inside the frame put up by Oscar winner Barry Levinson, a master in telling cynical games of power and mechanisms of American society. "What Just Happened," based on the book by producer Art Linson (also writer of the film), is a lively comedy in which the threads are interwoven in the film industry to choke up and break up the characters themselves that drives them.
passing day marks the rhythm of the film will be two weeks of hell for the producer Ben sailed (Robert De Niro), struggling with a film to reassemble even against the wishes of the director (prior to the presentation in Cannes), Bruce Willis as a result of her look unrecognizable could mess up a new film and contracts tied to it, the problems due to separation from his wife and a daughter not quite innocent. Affairs of the heart and home movies, and actors love sunk unpresentable, complexing agents and directors stubborn: two weeks in the life of Ben knows no pause, knows no smiles, just a long climb that seems to bring it to the edge of the precipice.
What Levinson film is that it feeds on itself and he plays to take a little 'out there: Ennio Morricone's harmonica accompanies the counting of the public comments after the disastrous preview of the new movie with Sean Penn, Bruce Willis does not want to be Bruce Willis, agents who are afraid their own customers. A true circle of hell where eternal damnation is made by the Hollywood, with its contracts, its penalties, its unsustainable pace, while there is a private life outside the office waiting for heaven. But to Ben, in contrast to Levinson, is nothing more than a lost paradise.
