Brendan Fraser’s triumphant return
From August 26, the film is available on the platform entitled The Whale, directed by Darren Aronofsky. This work is unique in many respects. It was already widely known when it was being made, and the first official premiere screenings during the International Film Festival in Venice aroused great admiration for the lead actor, Brendan Fraser, and for the director. This is undoubtedly one of the hottest films of the year.
Darren Aronofsky (“Pi”, “Requiem for a Dream”, “The Wrestler”, “Black Swan”) is one of the most original and boldest contemporary directors. He has a recognizable style of storytelling, and his films are extremely visually intense. Aronofsky’s heroes are people struggling with fate and the pain of existence, who, in pursuit of happiness or wanting to escape the reality that overwhelms them, become obsessed. The director also has an extraordinary talent for casting actors in his films. He does it flawlessly, although the choices are often not obvious. He restores the splendor of forgotten stars and shows that they deserve awards – this was the case with “The Wrestler”, in which he cast Mickey Rourke (Oscar nomination for the leading male role), and it is so that in the case of Wieloryb, where Brendan Fraser played (Oscar for the main male role).

Brendan Fraser gained enormous popularity at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries thanks to his roles in such blockbuster films as “George straight from the tree” or the “Mummy” trilogy. It seemed that the young, very handsome actor had a long and successful career ahead of him. However, it turned out differently. Fraser at some point disappeared from the premier league of Hollywood stars. He was ill and had personal problems. The tide turned when Darren Aronofsky engaged him in his film. In The Whale, Fraser played a morbidly obese teacher, Charlie, who eats problems alone, leading to disability. There is no trace of the former handsome man here, because the actor is hidden behind perfect make-up. But it plays extremely and very suggestively. His facial expressions and eyes say everything about the hero, about his suffering and struggle with everyday life. The director searched for a long time and very carefully for an actor to play in his film. Nothing is accidental here. As Aronofsky said in interviews, when he watched the materials with Fraser, he knew that only he could play the 300 kg Charlie, a man whom we abhor at the beginning of the film, but as the plot progresses we start to love him with all his heart. heart.
When accepting the Oscar for the role of Charlie, Brendan Fraser gave a moving speech. He did not hide. “I am grateful to Darren for challenging me creatively and getting me aboard the good ship The Whale. The script was written by Samuel D. Hunter, who is our lighthouse. Gentlemen, you have bared your whale-sized hearts so that we can look into your souls like no one else and it is an honor for me to be listed next to you in this category. Only whales can swim to the depth of Hong Chau’s talent,” he said, clutching gold in his hand ± a statuette, every actor’s dream.

“The Fabelmans” is a very personal statement by the director of “Indiana Jones” or “Schindler’s List”. Spielberg talks about himself, about the youthful beginnings of his film fascinations and about his family. It’s not just a cinematic autobiography. It is also a perfect metaphor of life, a love letter written to the cinema and, at the same time, a bittersweet story of a family struggling with many adversities. There are excellent photos of Spielberg’s longtime collaborator, the brilliant cinematographer Janusz Kamiñski, and a gallery of outstanding characters. They played fantastic roles in “Fabelmany” m.in. Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Seth Rogen.
The Steven Spielberg-directed remake of the hit musical “West Side Story” is also noteworthy. Ariana DeBose won an Oscar for her supporting role in this grand production. Critics wrote that this film is a perfect combination of tradition and modernity, and Spielberg masterfully told a love story full of musical hits, which is a travesty of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
