				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal; padding-top:10px">You rarely ever expect any indication of quality of be associated with a new film starring Nicholas Cage. Yet, it’s hard to deny that the reason why this film attracted that much attention is the fact that it stars the academy award winner. It has been recommended for me to watch as the film starring Cage that is surprisingly good. Is it really good? Did I really like it? Let’s get to that after we do the film some justice in describing and classifying it.</p>
<div id="attachment_995" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 635px"><img src="http://www.filmgamed.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-05-at-7.16.55-PM-1024x460.png" alt="Jeremiah Sand the Evil Cult Leader" width="625" height="280" class="size-large wp-image-995" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jeremiah Sand the Evil Cult Leader</p></div>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">The events of Mandy takes place in 1983 and center around Mandy Bloom and Red Miller, a couple in love who live together in some isolated place that looks and feels like one of the books or paintings that we see Mandy busy with all the time. The peaceful life is violently disturbed when a cult leader, Jeremiah Sand, sees and desires Mandy. His followers summon a gang of messed up, on so many levels, motorcycle riding individuals to go and grab her for him. The gang accomplishes the mission and they leave Red tied and gagged with barb wire. Things go wrong between Sand and Mandy and he decides to punish her for ridiculing him by burning her alive in front of Red. Later, Red manages to free himself and goes after the cult and the gang in a rageful revenge spree.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">Artistically, the film is submerged into unique cinematography and music, rendering into an experience standing at the meeting point between everything that has to do with heavy metal and a bad LSD trip.  Each frame is heavily stylized and coloured to extreme degrees with the music of the late Johan Johansson always adding an epic layer either incredibly demonic or heavenly innocent.</p>

<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">Dramatically, on the other hand,  the film is split in half. The first half is all plot and characters introduction with some symbolic and sophisticated scenes that don’t necessarily help the plot but give hints at something else that the film might mean.  Those scenes depend heavily on the recipient, you might make sense of them or not, but you cannot deny just how beautiful and well crafted they are.  The second half is a blood fest. Not as gory or disturbing as many worse experiences we’ve seen before, but the violent scenes are also unique in several ways and always loyal to the continuing feeling of being in the real of heavy metal and drugs.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">Back to the basic question of whether I liked the film or not, yes I did .. and for multiple reasons.<br />
The most important of which is that the story and plot are clear and structured. It’s a classic revenge story much like hundreds that we’ve seen before, and I never get tired or bored from a well made revenge film. The second reason why I liked the film goes against my usual distaste for art house films, and this is exactly what this movie is. Not just because it has a structured plot can it be considered as mainstream.  Like I said it has many scenes that don’t help the plot or characters build up. It has some really long uninterrupted scenes dedicated to monologues and pouring emotions.  It has some crazy reactions and depictions for the effect of drugs, and it has some very unique choices in the action and violence scenes. They’re probably the least I enjoyed in the whole film especially when they came in great succession or stay for too long. However, I can’t say that I was disturbed by any of them. First because it looks beautiful like I said and second it doesn’t undermine human emotions.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">Each character in Mandy is very well understood, and you get the full sense of their goals and motives. Most importantly our protagonist, his quest, his rage and his abilities. Which leads to the 3rd reason why I liked the film and that is the performances. Cage’s performance didn’t develop or change, it just falls in the right place. The place where his crazy reactions and over the top acting become traits that help the film and distinguish him. Also, Linus Roache who played Jeremiah is amazing. A true embodiment of a narcissistic villain who really believes himself. Roache is a great casting choice as well, he’s the accurate face of 80’s evil, and his looks might be a clue to the sociopolitical projections that the film aims at between the lines. Or .. I might just be wrong in reading that. So when you see him through the eye of a drug inflicted person in a long uninterrupted monologue, in the uniquely stylized picture of Panos Cosmatos and his cinematographer Benjamin Loeb, with the music of Johan Johansson, even if you’re not sure what he’s talking about, you enjoy it.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; text-align:left; direction: ltr; font-weight: normal">Mandy can be considered as the “Mother!” of 2018 in the sense of being an art-house film with  a clear story that seems to have much more behind it. But, in this case, the symbolism and projections are not consistently clear. I, myself, went out with a theory that resonated with me, and if the film intrigues you enough you’ll feel a desire to try and decipher it yourself .. And I believe this will be an added layer of fun.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="center" dir="rtl" style="padding-bottom:15px">** استعراض ومناقشة بقلم صديق Film Gamed العزيز، الأستاذ / محمد عبد الخالق **</div>
<p>بعد عدة اخفاقات من الممثل الممتاز Nicolas Cage، يطل علينا بفيلمه الجديد Dying of the light </p>
<p>يحكي الفيلم قصة Evan Lake الظابط بالـ CIA الذي يتعرض للتعذيب الشديد من 22 عاماً من قِبل إرهابي كيني يُدعي Mohamed Banir في عملية خاصة، وبعد انقاذ Evan يتم التعامل مع الأمر علي ان Mohamed Banir قد قُتل في هذه العملية ولكن Evan لا يصدق هذا ومتأكد ان Bahir لا يزل حياً يرزق،</p>
<div align="center" style="padding:10px">
<img src="http://www.filmgamed.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Screenshot-2014-12-16-17.13.45.png" alt="" width="555" height="269" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-483" /></div>
<p>يحاول Evan الوصول لـ Banir والأنتقام منه لما فعله به وسببه له من مرض في المخ والأعصاب والذي يجعله يهلوس ويهدد حياته ولكن بالمصادفة ايضاً يصاب Banir بمرض وراثي بالدم يجعله غير قادر علي الحركة الا قليلاً جداً ويجعله ينفق اموال طائلة علي دكتور روماني متخصص في مثل هذه الامراض ليعالجه عن بُعد.</p>
<p>بعد ان يفُصل Evan من عمله لتكرار قصة ان Mohamed Banir  لا يزل حياً والـ CIA يحاولون التغطية علي هذا، يحاول زميله في العمل Milton ان يساعده علي إيجاد Mohamed Banir وإثبات قصته بالرغم من مكابرة Evan وظهوره كأنه لا يريد المساعدة من احد.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2VVpZd_Up0" target="_blank">شاهد أيضاً: بالفيديو | Nightcrawler | استعراض ومناقشة بالعربي</a></p>
<p>تستمر الأحداث بين محاولة Evan و   Miltonالوصول الي Mohamed Banir لتتصاعد نسبة الأدرينالين في نهاية الفيلم في مواجهة وجهاً لوجه بين Evan و Banir .</p>
<p>فيلم Dying of the light ليس هو الفيلم الذي ينتظره معجبو Cage بعد سلسلة الإخفاقات التي مر بها ولكنه يعتبر رُبع خطوة لا بأس بها إلي الأمام، صراحةً لا أعرف لماذا لا يتأني Cage في اختياراته ليعود بقوة الي مصاف الممثلين لما يمتلكه من كاريزما كبيرة يجعلك تتعاطف معه حتي إن كان مخطأً</p>
<p><a href="http://www.filmgamed.com/index.php/before-i-go-to-sleep-%d9%81%d9%8a%d9%84%d9%85-%d9%85%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%81%d9%84%d8%a7%d9%85-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%82%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ab%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d9%81%d9%8a-%d8%b3%d9%87/" target="_blank">إقرأ أيضاً: Before I Go To Sleep | فيلم من افلام القناة الثانية في سهرة يوم الجمعة</a></p>
<p>التمثيل:<br />
Nicolas Cage أو Evan برع كالعادة في تجسيد الظابط المتفاني في عمله الذي رفض ان ينطق بحرف واحد من اسمه لـإرهابي ظل يعذبه حتي كاد أن يقتله واصابه اصابات خطيرة في المخ والأعصاب جعلة منه انسان مريض لبقية حياته والذي ينتظر بفارغ الصبر ملاقاة غريمه والأنتقام منه، وقد اثر في مشهد ملاقاة الطرفين وجهاً لوجه في نهاية الفيلم ورد فعل Evan تجاه Banir.</p>
<p>Anton Yelchin أو Milton زميل Evan بالعمل والذي يضحي بعمله وكاد يضحي بنفسه لحبه واعتزازه بشخصية Evan.</p>
<p>دور Milton يميزه انه مُركب، بمعني ان طيبته ومحاولته التودد لـ Evan ومساعدته له رغم عدم تقبل Evan المساعدة من أحد، تجعلك تظن انه ظابط بلا شخصية وضعيف ولكن علي النقيد تماماً انه عندما يتعرض لموقف يحتاج لقلب شجاع  يظهر Milton شخصية الظابط القوي و المتفاني في عمله كما هو حال Evan.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMHSddiOX7k" target="_blank">شاهد أيضاً: بالفيديو | The Judge | استعراض ومناقشة بالعربي</a></p>
<p>Alexander Karim أو Mohamed Banir شكله العربي واصوله الاوغاندية تجعله دائماً من اوائل الاختيارات للمخرجين في شخصيات عربية كما في فيلم Zero Dark Thirty ولكن مساحة دوره لم تكن تسمح له بظهور اكثر لقدراته التمثيلية ولكنه ادي ما عليه وما كان مطلوب منه.</p>
<p>الإخراج والسيناريو والحوار للمخرج Paul Schrader اللي اخرج سنة 2013 فيلم The Canyons اللي تقريبا يُعد من افلام الـ soft porn والغريبة انه كتب Dying of the light بعد 7 سنوات من كتابته لـ فيلم The Walker سنة 2007 واخرج فيلم The Canyons بعد 5 سنوات من إخراج فيلم Adam Resurrected بما يعني انه لم يكن اختيار موفق ليكون نقطة تقدم لـ Nicolas Cage </p>
<p>فيلم Dying of the light فيلم مسلي اذا كنت من معجبين Nicolas Cage ولكنه بالنسبة لكثير من الناس سوف يمر مرور الكرام.</p>

<p>اتمني ان يعود Nicolas Cage الحائز علي جائزة الأوسكار افضل ممثل عام 1995 عن دوره في فيلم Leaving Las Vegas بفيلم جيد مع نجم وجهاً لوجه مثل Face Off ليكون نقلة قوية له تعيده لمصاف النجوم مرة أخري.</p>
<p>تقيمي المتواضع للفيلم 5/10 ويُنصح به لمحبي Nicolas Cage</p>
