"Hey, is this Heaven?
– No, it's Iowa."
FIELD OF DREAMS, 1989
Phil Alden Robinson (D + S)
Revoir cette merveille de film et avoir à nouveau la chair de poule et le sourire aux lèvres du début jusqu'à la fin, me régaler des voix de ces comédiens formidables, de la musique de James Horner...
Penser que la pétillante Amy Madigan était déjà mariée à Ed Harris depuis 1983 et que c'est lui qui incarne la voix mystérieuse ; que ce fut le dernier film, à 76 ans, du grand Burt Lancaster ; que Frank Whaley retrouvera ensuite Costner en 1991 dans JFK ; que Costner venait de jouer dans le BILL DURHAM de Ron Shelton consacré au base-ball. Et me souvenir que j'adore ce film, ainsi que SNEAKERS, aussi écrit et réalisé par P. A. Robinson qui, pour cela, sera toujours dans mon panthéon cinéphilique.

The film The Sum of All Fears discreetly brings the world to the brink of disaster because the Israelis have thoughtlessly misplaced one of their nuclear bombs. Not only have they forgotten where they put it, they also stole it in the first place, from the U.S.A., which, in the security of its own nuclear programs, was more considerate of the wishes of others.
One might think that this largely narrative off-screen identification of Israelis as villains might be an anomaly, had one not seen it reiterated daily in much of the Western press. (I will make bold to state that some readers of this piece may, in fact, "root" for the Palestinians. I take no issue with their right to that view. I merely state that, irrespective of any reader's assessment of its rectitude, much of the Western press portrays Israelis as monsters.) I will leave the press to chew its own incomprehensible cud and address myself only to the movies.
