The Ice Storm (1997)

@eyes-on-display Frenchie reminded me that I should rewatch The Ice Storm for the hundredth time and gosh, how I love love LOVE this film. It's so great and so rich that I still believe whatever things I have to say wouldn't do the film justice.

But I owe it a try. Here we go.

All the actors in this film aren't allowed any space of freedom from the camera, because the masterful Ang Lee has taken away the distance, capturing each nuanced detail with breathless intimacy. So much so that at times viewers might feel uncomfortable watching what's said silently on screen. The silence of this movie, the pauses and gaps, functions as not only a tool to paint a bleak suburban atmosphere, the silence also forces the audience to stay within the realm of the film, to pay close attention to what the performances—or the lack of them—has to convey. And it becomes pretty arduous, sometimes even frustrating to grasp the meaning of the scenes.

Yet, the "meaninglessness", I think, is what The Ice Storm intends to portray. Instead of romanticized obscurity, this film harshly depicts the insignificance of mundane life. I feel that it's the reason every character in this film is discontent and restless, children and adults alike.

We see parallels between kids and adults, and two nuclear families, the Hoods and the Carvers. There's also the contrast between "reality" and comic-book stories narrated by Paul, the older brother in the Woods family who comes home for the holidays. Paul's understanding of The Fantastic Four strings the scenes together and keeps the story at an even pace, though he's like an outsider in the movie. It creates an amazing conflict when the theme of family is only uttered aloud by him, questioning or answering. Paul is unaware that he plays such an important role in the build-and-release of tension, yet, he's part of the body of work, seamless and inescapable, just like one’s relationship with their own family.

Another theme I'm obsessed with is the "restraint" in this film that makes the repressed vibe absolutely flourish. Self-restraints exist as the final straw the characters hold on for dear life, because they're desperately trying to find joy. On one hand they don't want to stand out, because fitting the norms—fulfilling their duties—gives them meaning. On the other hand they want attention and love to break themselves out of their loneliness: they want proof that their inability to accept their status quo is well-justified. They chase what's better and can only choose to believe they've just lost it somewhere. The delicious friction between desire and disappointment is in every unsuccessful sexual advance, or rather, every failed attempt to seek approval from others. So restraint also serves as the failsafe to not misbehave, to avoid gambling away the almost-but-not-quite-affection all the characters hunger after. God knows what would happen if rules got broken, right?

Just a layman spitballing here. By now it's clear I'm not a film major, but I still want to say that this movie is fucking awesome, and it means a lot to me because I don't know how to connect emotionally with myself and other people. The Ice Storm is my spiritual-MLA-handbook and each time I watch it, it feels like a different edition because it's just. So. Layered.

Tangentially to the show because I’m not that hot over the subplot with Walter and Misty at all, it’s kind of iconic to have them together here because both where prominent child actors in the 1990s and I remember being super stoked about seeing them in movies because we were the same age. We...still are...but you get what I mean. Now I do wish their subplot was more interesting. They’ve been mostly comic relief which is fine but. I want moar.
