one of the biggest wins of this drama was the execution of the narrative and how it didn’t try to influence the audience in any which way . i continually struggled with my feelings as none of the characters were black or white but each had shades of grey and depth which gave them a unique personality . initially , sana came across as a negative character but after her divorce , i empathized with her since she proved to be an excellent and selfless mother who fought tooth and nail to provide the best for her son . she stayed single for the sake of her only son and didn’t once falter . daniyal seemed sincere initially but i didn’t approve of his decision to take a second wife – he was selfish and paid the price by being separated from his son . huma was the proverbial mazloom aurat but she persevered through many a storms . i felt she married daniyal for her own selfish reasons but given her situation , i could see why she did what she did . i also liked the contrast between sana’s mother and huma’s mother . sana’s mother filled her head with negativity against daniyal which influenced her relationship and huma’s mother was a pillar of support which is why huma managed to stay married all those years and had the strength to accept daniyal’s proposal . overall , dooriyan was brilliantly scripted , sharply directed and flawlessly acted which made it a very good watch . i’m not sure how it fared since it didn’t air on one of the big three channels but i look forward to tuning in to hum sitaray and hope they will continue providing us with quality entertainment .
star cast : deepshikha nagpal , kaishav arora , inder kumar , chitrasi rawat , delnaz paul .
what’s bad : the poorly - written screenplay ; the insipid and boring drama ; the average performances .
simi nagpal ( deepshikha nagpal ) is a 35 - year - old divorcee who lives with her two kids , a girl ( baby vidhika ) and a boy ( master vivaan ) . while she is successful in her choreography career and has a happy family life otherwise , simi secretly yearns for the company of a man who will accept and love her and her children . her parents and friends also insist that she should find a suitable mate and get married once again .
while on a holiday with nikki ( chitrasi rawat ) and bobby ( delnaz paul ) , two of her employees from her dancing academy , simi meets raj ( kaishav arora ) , a young model . raj , who is apparently smitten by simi , follows her back to the city and joins her dancing academy . bit by bit , raj wins over simi’s confidence by developing a bond with her kids . soon , simi and raj’s friendship turns into love . simi even takes raj to meet her parents and friends . after raj assures her that he is serious about the relationship , they both start sleeping together .
on one such morning , when simi is at raj’s place , raj’s mother ( kunika lal ) arrives unannounced . she insults simi and asks raj not to continue his relationship with simi , as it was against societal norms . slowly , raj relents and stops seeing simi . on the other hand , simi’s ex - husband , aditya ( inder kumar ) , shows up and wants her back . what happens next ? where does raj go ? who does simi decide to be with – raj or aditya ? what about her kids ? the rest of the film answers these questions .
deepshikha’s story is well - intentioned as it tries to depict the issue of divorced women’s remarriage . however , her screenplay , which is rather poorly - written , pulls the film down . right from the word ‘go’ , the audience is bombarded with clichéd scenes and interactions between the characters that lead to nothing . the relationships between the characters , whether they are amicable or hateful , don’t ring true at all . for example , simi loves her kids dearly but she goes for parties and on holidays with friends , leaving the kids behind . the climax is very disappointing . the dialogues , penned by deepshikha , are terribly childish .
deepshikha nagpal’s performance is okay . she looks the age of the character and acts ably but the insipid drama negates it all . kaishav arora doesn’t have the looks of a hero , in spite of his muscled body , which he flaunts a lot . also , he needs serious lessons in acting . he is expressionless . inder kumar overacts . chitrasi rawat and delnaz paul do average jobs in their small roles . baby vidhika , master vivaan , kunika lal , achint kaur , rajesh khera , shishir sharma and manini dey fill the bill . ayub khan is wasted in a cameo appearance which does not make much sense .

” what if i will tell dp uncle n ap aunty what u hv said swati about controlling sanskar n . . over that what u hv done with ur son’s widow . . i don’t think that after that they will continue this relation “shlok said firmly
” u r blackmailing me . . but it will affect ur sister’s life” parvati said
“i don’t care . . cz i know what u hv taught her will destroy her marital life in the long run… so itz better to hurt her now . . decision is urs”he said n left parvati fuming with anger
” but sir today everyone is at home . . so why don’t you ask laksh sir . . let me call him”saying this she turns towards the door
“aree yaar . . tumhe koi bhaagne ki beemari hai . . kya” he said n held her hand
“m removing my finger . . don’t utter any word just help me in wearing tie . . okay ? ” he said she simply nods yes . . and help him in wearing tie
” thanku so much ” saying this he went to balcony and was about to cross the railing when swara shouts” sir what are u doing… please sir don’t suicide . . n if u want to commit suicide then why u ask me to help u in wearing tie . . u can commit suicide without tie too ” she sighs
he came back n said” u know swara . . my family members will never let me go today . . they want me to attend that puja . . but i don’t believe in god” he explains
“huh ? ? u don’t believe in god but why . . u know he helps u everytime… he will help you whenever you ask ” swara said with a smile
” really ! ! ? ? well i disagree . . n why u believe in him . . ur life is full of struggle . . if he is with u . . as u said . . he should lessen the struggle . . but no . . he does not… well he never fulfill my wishes… so what’s need of believing him ” he said
” sir he is god . . not a santa claus who will fulfill ur demands… n yes my life is full of struggle but he knows what is best for me . . thus i hv no problem… u too should trust him . . “she said n left
swara was about go when dadi stops her” eerr no . . u stay here . . swati beta u go n bring prasad… i don’t want this girl to touch prasad ”
everyone was sitting in hall when someone enters mm a girl wearing jeans n top with a bag says “i hv came . . did anyone missed me”
everyone was happy seeing her except parvati… swati ran n hugs her “bhabhi i missed you sooooo much . . itz best surprise for me”
soon trisha n shlok left to meet sumi without telling anyone . . sanskar too left for some work
@ car “thank god trisha u hv came… dadi has completely brainwashed swati . . she has availed the opportunity very well . . when we both were not here ” he said
* * shlok has studied abroad for 3 years n got married to trisha there both lived there for 5 years n during those ( 3 + 5 ) 8 years dadi has moulded swati according to her . . when shlok met sumi in kolkata only that day he came back afters years * *
” shlok don’t worry . . i will talk to her . . when trisha is here no fear “she giggles
” accha u know . . i hvnt tell chachi that m married . . it would be a surprise for her “shlok said . .
” m so excited to meet chachi . . tumhare muh se itti tareef jo suni hai “swati said
sumi was happy meeting trisha n shlok… the trio gets involved in talks forgetting about time .
here swara was waiting for bus to go back . . when sanskar saw her… he stops his car n orders her”swara come in”
“don’t get scare… m here nothing will happen . . come with me . . n don’t turn . . okay”he said
“no way . . i will drop you at ur place . . i can’t risk your safety . . and wait ( shouts ) why u can’t be aware of your surroundings haan… those goons were just behind you… what if something happens to u . . ” he shouts
” chachi i think u should tell swara about us . . n about shonali ” shlok said
” but chachi she should know about her family and her mother . . okay if not about us . . u can tell her about shonali “trisha said
” shlok sir . . trisha mam . . what are u both doing here . . n ma why r they calling u chachi . . n who is shonali ? “swara fire questions
swara got shocked listening to truth . . n she just ran away from her home… ” swara wait . . where are you going” sumi said
but swara ignores her n ran . . shlok follows her but can’t find her . .
“trisha what r u doing at swara’s home . . n why aunty is crying “sanskar has too many questions
by the time shlok reached n didn’t notice sanskar n said “chachi . . swara has gone . . but don’t worry i will find her . . ”
” leave all n tell me . . what happened to swara . . i hv just dropped her . . n i came here to return her phone . . but where is she . . hua kya ” sanskar panics
sanskar goes near sumi n said” aunty . . jab tak mai zinda hoon . . nothing will happen to swara ”
sanskar was driving n round of thoughts were going through his mind… he has become mad as if someone has stolen his precious gem from him . .
“what if someone has kidnapped her… this girl is too much . . who ran from home at 10 in night” he jerked this thought than another occupied the place “what if she met any accident . . she stays lost in herself . . never cares about her surrounding . . oh man where i should find her”
” what the hell laksh . . here swara is missing n u wants me to come . . m not coming until i found her . . got this . . ”
“it… it . . means… i - i… l . o . v . e… her … laksh u were right . . i love her… n now i hv to find my love at any cost… i won’t let anything happen to u swara… m coming . . ur sanskar is coming ”

recap : swasan marriage date fixed . 3 weeks leap . swasan left for shopping
everyone’s face become pale listening to her . mouli dassgupta is ap’s friend but they didn’t tell her about swara n all .
“umm vo masi ma u come n take rest . u must be tired”ragini tried to divert
“badmash ! stop calling me your girlfriend . you are married now “she . said
“sanskar me n swara are alone at home she has fainted here . . bhai n bhabhi are not lifting my calls . . i tried alot to wake her bt she is not opening her eyes . i don’t know what to do”swati cried
“what ! ! don’t worry m coming . you just take care” he said n cuts
“ya doc . i myself take care of her medicines . anything serious ? ” he ask in tension
“um . no but if she again faints or headache or anything immediately take her to me don’t delay . okay ? ” doc said seriously
as soon as swara gain her senses sanskar blasts on her . whereas everyone choose to stay back
“12 hours itz not even 12 hours since u came here n u fainted . i told you yesterday also lets go to doctor . but no swara to swara hai . kisi ki nahi sunni . . ! ! n sunegi bhi kyu . . she is a superwoman afterall . . n superwoman doesn’t need medicines fir chahe unka kitta bhi bada operation hua ho . fir chahe vo marte marte bachi ho . but who cares ! ! yaha m ek ek pal dar dar k je raha hoon ke kahi tumhari tabiyat kharab na ho jaye n tum ho ki ! ! show me your medicines ! m sure u must hv skipped them”he said all in one breath
“send her clothes to my home . n you all are going to stay in mm only “he said n forcefully took swara
“sir please ! ! i will take care of myself . aap jao yaha se” she said n released her hand
“m warning u never ever try to do this . . tmrw is cocktail party after that u can come here” he said angrily
swara can see his fear , his concern , his love for her . she quietly went with him .
sanskar bring swara in angrily , n swara was having an innocent , puppy face .
sanskar took a deep breath and spoke “she is my would be wife masi ma . . i didn’t marry swati” hesaid
mouli looked him in shock . then she gaze swara n check her out from top to bottom . . she gets nervous and hide herself behind sanskar’s back .
“hmm . . poor middle class girl . i can’t understand sab gareeb ladkian ammero ko kyu phasati hai . . jo hai usme khush nhi rah sakti kya ? did you feel happy by destroying swati’s life ? ofcouse u will . . afterall now u will get luxurious life” she said rudely
maheshwari’s knows the reason behind her rude behavior but for swara this was more than enough . she was crying . . she tried to go but sanskar didn’t leave her hand . . she signals him to leave bt he denied
“ya that’s why she trap u . . she just needs money . . nothing else . it is the sole mentality of these poor people”mouli said
“n who gave u right to taunt my daughter” sumi shouts angrily from door . .
mouli’s back was visible to sumi . . n as soon as mouli turned , both got shocked .
before mouli could say further . . sumi interrupts “sanskar . . beta u take shona in . . she must be tired . . ”
“hmm . . actually . . vo . . i - i told you about shona’s ma na . . so her mother elope with mouli ‘s hubby”sumi said
“mouli itz enough ! swara is my daughter ! that lady has to done nothing with swara… she is my daughter . . she has my upbringing . . so please don’t point her” sumi said
“ha mouli swara is very nice girl”ap said n explains everything to her . .
sanskar ignore her n left . . she felt bad . . soon he came back with a bowl of soup . he sat besides her . . n as soon as she open her mouth to say something he put spoon full of soup in her mouth . she quite finished that with ‘yukk’ expression . . he then make her eat medicines n was about to go when she spoke
she nods yes . . then no . . then yes . . then again no . sanskar held her head with his hands “itta sar mat hilao toot jyega”
the very next moment ragini enters the room n closed her eyes”guyz if u wanna romance be careful . ma ne dekh lia to dant pdegi . . here is ur dresses for party . . n don’t worry i haven’t seen anything”she teases them n ran . leaving swasan embarrassed
swara got ready in the gown designed by ragini . . red gown with hop neck . . sanskar got ready in black formals n both were looking osm ?
“coming mam ! ” she said while wearing earing . . she took the other earing n starts to move while wearing it
she came in hall n was still struggling to wear that . she stopped to wear that . . n just above her head two lightmen were adjusting lights . . sanskar saw that while descending stairs . . the whole scenario of his n swati’s mehndi go through his eyes he shouts”swwaraaa” . everyone got shocked with this n turns to him . . even swara was confused . .
“who allowed u to come here . . i don’t want any lights . . get out . . ! ! ” he shouts at those lightmen . .
“sir please calm down . . m fine kuch ni hua mujhe” she said .
“i don’t want to take any risk . . i nearly lost u . . ”he said with tears
his love for swara was clearly visible in his eyes . . swara consoles him n guests arrived n party started
sanskar introduces swara with everyone . . some were happy . . some were not .
“come swara lemme introduce u to mrs . banerjee”he said n took swara towards a lady
sumi saw that lady n here face become pale… she immediately ran towards them to stop .
“beta vo . . that . that lady is . . kaveri . . swara ‘s real mother . . ”sumi said
then sumi explains that mr banerjee ( mouli ‘s hubby ) divorced mouli . just to marry kaveri . . n there was a clause in the pprs that mouli will never tell anyone her ex hubby’s name . . that’s why neither ap nor anyone else knows about this . . annapurna has already told him what has happened when sumi n mouli met yesterday . .

again another awesome chappy . . loved it…how swara fainted . . is that bcoz she didnt have her medicines ? ? . . or did dadi changed her medicines with those given by masked person ?
loved sanskar’s care towards swara… now story is being a little bit complicated by the introduction of new characters . . i wish that they dont bring any mess in swasan’s life . . also i hope that no such dramas that hurts our swara should happen in the further episodes . . eagerly waiting for the past to be unfolded . .
i became mad . cz i didn’t see ur comment . . i was keen to read ur comment . . finally u came . . now i can sleep peacefully . .
bt today u did chotu sa cmnt . . ? u only tell me whether m going right or not . .
why she fainted will be another big twist in the story . which will be shock for all . .
hope so they won’t createany mess . . but swara ‘s real mum would create drama . n that time swara would be in a new way . luv you loads . keep guiding me . .
muggy ! ! an kush ? ? ? … . ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
she starts to walk but each step was difficult for her… . suddenly a car stopped infront of her n she got shocked… . and starts to sweat… she was afraid of the person sitting in car… .
the person step out of car n swara starts to move back . . she wants to scream but couldn’t . . his face was covered with a mask and had a knife in hand
and hugged him tightly . . ” sshhh don’t cry m here na . . kuch nhi hua . . ”
after a while she was sound… he shouts” are u crazy who told u to go home alone at this point of time . . u know itz not safe ”
” sir a night matters alot . . my mum is not at home… u don’t know our society they will not take even a minute to bad mouth about my character “she said calmly
sanskar too found her talks sensible and agreed to drops her at home . .
servant went in n inform an old lady about sumi’s arrival ” tell her that i don’t want to meet her ” that old lady said . .
itz noon n still no one has came to sumi n she is sitting at door… then a car stopped infront of her… a tall man of 27 stepped out of the car… and removes his shades and looked at sumi . . he touched her feet… with his sudden action sumi got shocked
“golu . . u r my golu . . u hv grown up smartly “sumi’s eyes welled with tears and she hugged him
” what ! ! ! ” sanskar asked in shock . . then round of bad thoughts go throw his mind
“are are wait… what happened bhai… y r u so tensed… hoga koi kaam use . . don’t worry she will come tmrw “laksh said casually
” no lucky u r not getting me . . vo ” he explains about that incident
the door was locked from inside . . sanskar somehow manages to enter in her room from back window… then he open the gate n ragini too went in…
” no no ragini . . she will be here only door was locked from in” sanskar said
with the shock the door of cupboard opened n both got shocked to see swara there . .
” sanskar we should take her with us . . we can’t leave her here “ragini said

filmed over 8 years , mother trucker 2 follows stacee mccaig ' s struggle as she pursues her dream to live as a professional truck driver .
, the film pulls in to the kerb , the action pauses for breath , and the heroine discusses her dreams with a passing trucker . the trucker tells her his dream is to visit the ocean . she tells him that hers is a home and a bundle of children . the sun sinks in the west , bruce springsteen plays on the stereo and this pivotal scene is almost too perfect . make a film about gritty american life and , sooner or later , the dream will crawl in through the cracks .

orange coast magazine writer marc weinberg and leonard maltin criticized the decision to shoot the film in live action . maltin described the film as a

it was obviously made in la and suffers from long , boring chase scenes
, but praises the stop motion special effects in the film ' s final sequences . film website rotten tomatoes , which compiles reviews from a wide range of critics , gives the film a score of 16 % . the film received four golden raspberry awards : worst screenplay , worst new star , worst visual effects and worst picture , tied with under the cherry moon .
5 . mad max 2 : the road warrior ( 1981 ) : where would a trucker movie list be without an inclusion of some mad max ? the second film of the franchise , it was full of massive big rig chase sequences and existed in a universe where gasoline was prized more than gold .
trucker isn’t the most exciting or striking film in the world , but it’s actually a lot better than you’d think at first glance ( and not just because of the horrible cinematography ) . it is at times a little heavy handed in the way it inverts gender roles and stereotypes , but the inversion nonetheless leads to some interesting and intelligent insights into the thought process of a very well - rounded character . notably this isn’t a film like north country and whilst diane does receive some mild negativity about her position as a woman in a male - dominated profession , this isn’t a film about her battle against sexual oppression . in the most part her position is just accepted and the film is instead about the…

chronicle
is a mildly experimental commercial film , and , for the most part , it ' s loose - limbed fun .
a good film . i love the story and the actors were well chosen . dehaan looks like a young leo dicaprio . i somewhat question the decision to make this a found footage film as it limited what certain shots could look like a bit too much , and it made for a lot of moments where cameras were carried in unnatural ways to feed the gimmick , but the film was thoroughly entertaining . the degradation of the villain in the end made for a less interesting fight scene , but the film was mostly very satisfying .

to celebrate our love of trucks – and yours , perhaps ? – we thought we’d take a look at five classic trucker films that have been funny , suspenseful or simply outright entertaining .
the only flaw of the film is that halfway through , you already know the ending . still , by knowing , the film is so well made that it pulls you in and makes you want to stick around and await the inevitable ending . michelle monaghan pulls off an oscar - worthy performance as
diane ford
, and the rest of the solid cast help keep this movie on it ' s high octane cylinders of brilliant storytelling . trucker is a must see drama !
[ 11 : 07 ] a trucker on the cb radio warns that there is a

monaghan demonstrates an untapped level of talent and skill in trucker , tackling the difficult role of a woman who refuses to behave as societal norms dictate and has paid the price with loneliness and alienation .
4 . maximum overdrive ( 1986 ) : why have a film where the truck drivers are homicidal when it could just be the trucks themselves . yep , the premise of this film focused on a group of semi - trailers that came to life and became homicidal when earth passed through the tail of a mysterious comet . based off a stephen king story and directed by the man himself , this film was intended to scare . nowadays it’s probably hilariously absurd .

from the intimate vantage point of a senior community swimming pool , water and time suspend both body and memory . this film is a gentle meditation on growing old , staying young , and living life .
that ' s pretty much it in terms of plot , and it ' s disappointing in a film of such unfettered structure and length that arnold shows so little interest in exploring other connections within the group .
a good indy film , nothing more , so say it has a slow star , i say it ' s slow throughout . good acting and good story line just can ' t go any higher the 3 staqsr

this is a wonderful festival in a breathtaking location . great screenings , great parties , great attendance . mountains . the whole experience was magical and i can ' t wait to come back with the next film .
mottern : it makes me real proud that people have reacted so positively to michelle’s performance . going into this film , that character was everything to me . it was the film , and so when people react to her characterization of diane ford , it gives me a great feeling . what i have found interesting is that the people—and there are actually very few—who do not like michelle’s performance are actually people who do not like diane ford ! i’ve always said that trucker is like the magic lasso that wonder woman has that makes people tell the truth . there’s something about this character that reminds people of women they’ve known or experiences they’ve had . sometimes not so great , you know ? there’s always a very strong reaction to the film , and especially to diane ford ; and it makes me know she’s struck a nerve with viewers . i’ve also really enjoyed watching this film with audiences as there are parts in the film that will literally make grown men cry . but not in a sentimental way , which i would find despicable . i tried to tell the truth in this picture the best i could , and michelle did too . we all did . and that comes out , i think . there are some truths in this picture that kind of get you in the gut . i know i made the film , and saying this might seem pandering , but it is something i have observed . and there’s one scene in this picture that still puts my stomach in knots and brings a few tears to my eyes no matter how many times i watch it .
trucker is every indie director’s dream ; four or more well known stars , a great original story , and a full future ahead . trucker was james mottern’s first feature film endeavor but not by appearance . dramatic storytelling is an art - form : making viewers care about imaginary people and their predicaments is not easy . yet there was an ease to falling in next to these characters and seeing how they live , especially the lead , played by michelle monaghan ( heartbreak kid , eagle eye ) . having never been a huge fan of monaghan’s , the fact that she won me over was tremendous . with a hard edge yet child - like approach to the life ( and child ) given to her , you watch monaghan’s character , a female truck driver , adapt to…

huyck and katz continued to work after the film ' s failure , and chose to work on more dramatic projects in order to separate themselves from howard the duck . katz states that lucas continued to support the film after its failure , because he felt it would later be seen in a better light than it had been at the time of its release . huyck states that he later encountered fans and supporters of the film who felt that it had been unfairly treated by critics .
i value films that closely regard specific lives . i know they usually must have happy endings . not always . haven ' t we all learned to expect certain things in a story about a mother and a son ? aren ' t those things in fact generally true to human nature ? i hope to feel elevation at the end . but a film should earn it , not simply evoke it .
trucker
sets out on a difficult and tricky path , and doesn ' t put a thing wrong .
last year , urltoken had a chance to talk to actress michelle monaghan and writer / director james mottern about the drama trucker when it premiered at the tribeca film festival , and the movie opened this week at the village east cinemas in new york as well as california , illinois , pennsylvania and other select cities . being that monaghan is getting a lot of attention for her performance , including more than a few mentions of the awards potential for that performance , we thought it would be a good time to revisit these interviews .
we were lucky enough to win best short film at vail and although we weren ' t able to make it from the uk to colorado , the festival team were great at communication from submission onwards , and were warm and welcoming .
through one woman ' s story , the film explores an american dream once fulfilled now deconstructed . mother trucker 2 is the story of a fighter , a self - made woman who refuses to succumb to the circumstances working against her . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the film eventually views these strangers’ faces in the rapt , joyous spirit that is the story’s greatest reward and that becomes dora’s saving grace . and it is the filmmaker’s elegant restraint that makes such sentiments so deeply felt . mr . salles directs simply and watchfully , with an eye that seems to penetrate all the characters who are encountered on dora’s and josue’s journey . his film is also scored with a gentle piano melody that intensifies its embrace of the world that ”central station” sees .
despite such plot development as one of the women being kidnapped and the other being stopped by a highway patrolman who not surprisingly is turned into roadkill , the story never gathers any cumulative force . the largely unseen trucker is defined only by the upside - down crucifix and pentagram hanging from his rear - view mirror .
urltoken had a rare opportunity for an exclusive extended interview with monaghan , and when the film’s production notes label monaghan as “vivacious , ” they aren’t kidding . although this is a serious movie and role , monaghan was a lively and fun interview , punctuating her responses with her delightful laugh and frequently calling the interviewer “dude” and “man” in a way that only she could ever pull off . we also had a chance to talk to the film’s writer / director james mottern , an interview that you can read here .
a found - footage film , like ' blair witch , ' combined with ' bowling for columbine . ' instead of witches and guns , it ' s a teen outcast with supernormal abilities ; like ' carrie ' with shaky - cam and cool cg .
diane leads a solitary and carefree life as a trucker , punctuating her driving with nights of hard drinking and one night stands . but when her ex is admitted to hospital with a terminal illness , she is unexpectedly reunited with her estranged 11 - year - old son peter which is a shock to the system for both of them .
if american honey is fuelled by a sense of hope and possibility , arnold believes that this is largely thanks to the cast . the majority are non - professional actors , plucked from skate - parks and wal - mart lots . they all came from difficult circumstances but , she insists , they all brought their own spirit , a spark of undimmed potential . “some of their lives have changed as a result of the film . some got jobs or moved away from abusive partners . the film gave them a small sense of control of their lives . ”
it was inspired by the marvel comics characters howard the duck and beverly switzler created by steve gerber , although their appearance and portrayals almost completely ignored their source material . it is the first film based on a marvel comics character to receive a wide theatrical release in american theaters .
a clever form of direction with stylish effects , josh trank ' s chronicle supplies a rare thrilling blend of action and drama . though the effects are slightly bland and unreal , the film is saved by its superb young cast and overall excitement and script . 4 . 5 / 5
mottern : okay , susan , don’t get me started on this one . this is a book . well , you know that producer marc gill wrote about how the sky was falling in indie film , and he was right . it’s been a slog . it’s a nearly insurmountable task to get an independent film completed in the first place , and even more difficult to get it into theaters , and beyond that to get people to come see it . there is so little money around , ad costs are huge , and the places to exhibit are slimmer and slimmer . on top of that , dvd sales are slow , piracy is rampant , and video chains are closing down left , right , and center . but we have a distributor who has been very open about hearing new ideas and working with our producers and talent to get our film out there .
lesson : don’t ever use a fake cb handle ( candy cane no less ) to trick a truck driver into meeting you at a sleazy motel on the side of a freeway . nine times out of ten that trucker will be a shotgun - wielding , psychotic killer who will stop at nothing to teach you and your prankster bro a lesson about messing with truck drivers .
only a trucker would say : “just remember what ol ' jack burton does when the earth quakes , and the poison arrows fall from the sky , and the pillars of heaven shake . yeah , jack burton just looks that big ol ' storm right square in the eye and he says ,
give me your best shot , pal . i can take it .
making estranged parent - child relationship films work depend largely on two things – the script and the actors . in trucker , debut filmmaker james mottern has both nailed . although the story may sound trite and clichéd it’s all in the handling and while jimmy bennett is good as the disillusioned and apparently unwanted peter , the real star is michelle monaghan in the lead role . she demands attention…
an amazing festival ! they do a great job of providing awesome venues within vail for parties , seminars & networking with other filmmakers . i can ' t think of a more beautiful town for a festival . i highly recommend you submit your film here and should you get accepted , you have to go !
mottern : you know , since this picture came out , michelle’s been getting rave reviews pretty much across the board . there have been a couple of naysayers who must live in their mothers’ basements and don’t get enough sunlight or something , but basically everyone can see what a bang - up job she does in this part . it’s a role where at first you kind of think you know what she is doing but then , as she goes through the film , she surprises you in these subtle and not so subtle ways . that was my hope in making this film . that something seemingly familiar wasn’t something you necessarily understood at all .
cs : i got to see the movie a couple days ago and you and james did an amazing job creating this character and capturing this amazing performance on film . i really don’t know how you did it . monaghan : yeah , i don’t know . i look back on it now and i’m just glad i didn’t crash that truck .
beautifully observed and featuring a bravura performance by the brazilian actress fernanda montenegro , it gracefully watches these oddly paired characters develop a fractious bond that winds up profoundly changing both of them . mr . salles’s background as a documentary filmmaker also gives this lovely , stirring film a strong sense of brazil’s impoverished rural landscape once its principals take to the road .
howard the duck ( also known as howard : a new breed of hero in europe ) is a 1986 live - action film produced by lucasfilm and universal pictures , directed by willard huyck from a script by huyck and his wife gloria katz . it starred lea thompson , jeffrey jones , tim robbins and chip zien as the voice of howard .
monaghan , who just signed to star with shia labeouf in the d . j . caruso - directed “eagle eye” for dreamworks , sparked to the script when it was submitted to her early . she attached herself before the film went out for financing , and she went so far as to get training and a license to drive a tractor - trailer .
in terms of distribution i think that any indie production needs to build into their budget at least some funds for self - distribution . even larger distributors are looking for other sources of financing or partnerships to distribute films , and i think it falls on the shoulders of the filmmakers to learn the distribution business inside and out ; so that even if a distributor picks up their film , they are versed in the logistics of mounting a campaign . a filmmaker may not understand everything in terms of business but is almost universally the best and most ardent supporter of his or her film . there’s a great book by author marshall fine about cassavetes that i highly recommend as an inspiration for this type of approach .
cs : i’d imagine they’d have to be very tough , because as we see in the movie , sexism is very common and you’d have to be very thick - skinned as a woman trucker . monaghan : you have to be really thick - skinned , especially truck stops . they’re not necessarily safe places . there’s a lot of things that go down in truck stops and a lot of things they shared with me . you’re not in this job because it’s a tough living , but you have to love the job in order to be in it , because they’re long hours that take you away from your family and friends . often times , it’s not safe , whether you’re just on the road or in a truck stop . i really tip my hat to anybody who is a trucker . i actually miss it so much , i can’t even tell you . yeah , it was one of the greatest things i think i’ve ever done .
of course , all the trouble could have been avoided if the women had checked into a motel for the night or , say , chosen a new route . but no , even after stopping at a roadside diner where the trucker has also parked ( and profanely acussed an innocent man of being their attacker ) , they get back into their car again and again , only to be confronted by the truck whose engine apparently has been upgraded to race car proportions for just such an eventuality .
unhitched is a portrait of a community that has transformed travel trailers into permanent homes . tucked away in a redwood grove in northern california , faerie ring campground and rv park serves as one of the only options for low income housing in the area . through the residents ' experiences , this film illustrates the value of having a place to call home while expanding our notions of community .
it’s true we’re up against studios that have a lot more money to make and distribute a film . and in some ways , i wished our movie got picked up by sony classics , lionsgate , or one of the others that circled around it . but you know what ? we didn’t , and still michelle got great reviews . and i got to learn things i never would have known !
you are anticipating , as i did , that
trucker
would turn into one of those predictable movies where the mother and son grow to love each other . it doesn ' t end with mutual hate and abandonment , but it damn near does . the kid is as tough as his mom .
answer me !
she says .
i don ' t talk to bitches !
he says . len and jenny seem nice enough . where did he learn to talk like that ? little pitchers have big ears .
monaghan is diane ford , a trucker who just paid off her own rig . she ' s 30 - ish , cold , hard - drinking , promiscuous , a loner . bennett plays her son , peter . she left him with his father len ( benjamin bratt ) soon after his birth , has stayed away , doesn ' t like kids - - or men , either , although she uses them . one man ( nathan fillion ) has been her best friend for four years , but that involves getting drunk together and never having sex .
director andrea arnold acknowledges her film is about the american dream . “i was aware of that when i was making it , but it’s been fed back a lot to me since . it probably has to do with the idea of selling . these kids are supposedly selling magazines , but really they are selling themselves . that feels very american . so the environment in the bus is like a potted version of a bigger picture . ”
ironically as the film is meant to showcase michelle monaghan , i was most impressed with nathan fillion ; the man who made captain mal reynolds , captain hammer and mayor of mars on thrilling adventure hour takes it down to playing just an average ' jack of all trades ' and makes him vulnerable and likable and torn between his wife ( who we dont see much of ) and monaghan . an admirable little movie marred by predictability .
we never could have predicted just how many people have a dog in the “best trucking movie of all time” fight . we made a claim last month that patrick swayze’s “black dog” was the greatest truck driving film in cinematic history , which admittedly seems like a pretty outlandish claim when you have cult classics like “smokey and the bandit” and “convoy” out there . one guy emailed us to say that he purposely broke his netflix copy of “black dog” just so that there would be one less copy of “the worst movie ever made . ” another dude wrote on our facebook that “black dog” was one of two movies that he actually had to walk out of the theaters because it was so bad . these aren’t exactly beaming testimonials for our beloved swayze film , but we are standing behind our main man and that claim that “black dog” is no . 1 on list of the best trucking movies .
if arnold’s film has an ancestor , it may be the grapes of wrath , john ford’s searing 1940 odyssey adapted from the steinbeck bestseller and charting the voyage of a family of dustbowl migrants . like star , the joads hail from oklahoma . like her , they are chasing the promise of a better life . and like american honey , ford’s drama aims for an unvarnished , social - realist intensity , documenting the desperate lives of a marginalised underclass .
1 . duel ( 1971 ) : directed by steven spielberg , duel was actually one of those rare made - for - tv movies that were good , ultimately being the film that shot spielberg to fame . the plot followed a man driving a car being pursued by a killer truck driver taking part in an intense cat - and - mouse game with each other . full of heart - stopping chases and an unforgettable conclusion , duel is considered a classic .
it is this quality , i suspect , that makes the film so special . on my first viewing , i filed it as a bizarrely joyous and exuberant picture , despite its harsh subject matter . after watching it a second time , i think it might be more complex . more likely the joy and the subject matter are indivisible , each dependent on the other . some films come to prop up the faltering , debased notion of american exceptionalism ; others to expose it as a bright and shining lie . but american honey sees the dream for what it is – a fantasy born out of hardship – and appreciates it on its own terms . intuitively arnold’s film understands that the trip is usually more exciting than the destination , that the pursuit is invariably more authentic than the happiness at the end . or , to put it another way , in chasing after the dream we are , in fact , already living it .
cs : as a producer ? were you involved with “trucker” as a producer ? monaghan : yeah , i got a producer credit , and listen , i wasn’t the nuts ‘n’ bolts of it , certainly not . plum pictures were . they were terrific in getting this movie made , but i was able to have more creative control and have access to things that i normally have not had before , as a producer . that’s definitely something where i want to get more involved in , and certainly have a lot more to learn , but it definitely interests me and i’m going to do more of that .
david mamet and danny devito may have failed to blow the lid off the teamsters union in hoffa , but sturla gunnarsson and writer anne wheeler ( herself an experienced director ) are clearly made of sterner stuff . as is barbara williams , who turns in a gutsy performance here as the chain - smoking , tough - talking trucker , whose sense of decency drove her to expose corruption within the union and its links to organised crime . and all this in spite of the trauma of nursing a brain - damaged son . stuart margolin lends selfless support as her older lover , but this is williams ' s show .
the film evinces a kinship with the disaffected youth portraits of gus van sant , like elephant and paranoid park , and the darker brand of generational nihilism purveyed by harmony korine ; its raw sexual content , wild energy and moments of reckless crime specifically recall spring breakers . the latter title ' s u . s . distributor , a24 , also has domestic on american honey , which will require creative marketing to overcome the challenges of its non - story and overextended 162 - minute running time .
much of the movie unfolds in confined spaces like the van , truck compartments or cheap motel rooms , but even open - air , walking - and - talking scenes are viewed through a tightly focused lens . startling images of nature punctuate the film , providing an expressive motif that invites comparison to the work of terrence malick — from bugs , birds and bees to dogs , cows and horses , a turtle , a sugar glider and a bear that clearly hasn ' t seen the revenant .
diane ' s free - wheeling life of drunken one - night - stands as a professional trucker hits a road block when peter , her son , is dropped at her doorstep . her former husband len , whom she abandoned eleven years ago along with their new - born son , has cancer and no one else to turn to while he ' s in the hospital . peter , resentful and wary , wants , even needs a mother who ' ll want him at this worrisome time but knows better than to expect this from diane . with deliveries waiting and a mortgage to be paid , there ' s only one inevitable thing ahead for diane and peter - a road trip together .
trucker has a lot of heart . i would say it this way this is the story of a kid who just wants his mom to love home and take time for him . its too bad that she has no idea how to be a mom . she even goes so far and to tell her son that she never wanted him in the first place . i have always been a fan of anything jimmy bennett has a part in he did a great job of playing the part of
peter
. if you are a fan of jimmy bennett ' s work you will enjoy this movie . i . m . h . o . the only bad thing is a lot of bad words in this one
before coming to stanford , erin lived in denver and managed a non - profit teen center at girls incorporated . her favorite part of the job was working collaboratively with young women to investigate identity and creative forms of self - expression through media literacy , video production and digital storytelling . during her free time , erin made a film about her 94 - year - old grandmother who struggled to give up her favorite pastime , driving . erin is originally from albuquerque , new mexico and holds a ba in women ' s studies and urban studies from colorado college .
facets : truckers and their profession amount to a sort - of subculture due to the isolation of the road . their trucks are akin to their living spaces and truck stops are like their neighborhoods . almost everything they wear , eat , enjoy during leisure time , or need for their trucks comes from a truck stop . they have their own slang , clothing style , jokes , and even their own set of symbols . how much did you get into that while you were writing the movie ? it seems alluded to in the film—diane’s clothing , for example—but not dwelled on .
the film follows the fortunes of teenage star , played by sasha lane , who lights out to “explore america” as part of an itinerant crew of magazine vendors . her route loops back and forth across the midwest , from strip malls and oil derricks to sterile mcmansions perched on irrigated lawns . inside the bus , the crew members thrill to songs of freedom and empowerment . outside , they angle for subscriptions , spinning a different story at every door . they speak in horatio alger , working - hard - to - escape - poverty cliches . theirs is the rags - to - riches life , yet it’s clear from the start these kids are going nowhere fast .
i concede the story arc is fairly predictable , assuming neither one murders the other . but mottern and his actors take no hostages . diane is hard and tough , and stays that way . her son is angry and bitter , and stays that way . does they need to love and be loved ? sure . we know that , but they don ' t . by the end of the film , she hasn ' t called him
peter
and he hasn ' t called her
mom .
he ' s
kid
or
dude ,
and she ' s
you .
they have to be together whether they like it or not , and they know it .
instead , the film works best as a poignant character study , observing star as she settles into her independence and figures out who she wants to be , framed by a vast physical landscape that stretches socioeconomically from privileged wealth to squalid poverty . there ' s a wonderful intimacy in the way arnold examines young women in her films . that ' s true here of scenes like one with an oilfield worker who pays star $ 1 , 000 for some pretty miserable sex . or another in which she makes a sales call on a dirt - poor house , and responds with empathy to the kids , all but abandoned by their junkie mother , with nothing in the refrigerator but a bottle of mountain dew .
it would be nice to credit american honey with providing the cast with the dream – or at least a convenient leg - up towards it . but that’s too much the hollywood happy ending . it doesn’t account for the other pitfalls on the road , the fact that people can backslide and circumstances can change . it may even run counter to the abiding spirit of the film – which exults in the freewheeling abandon that comes from having nothing much left to lose , the thrill of whipping through the fringes of an unfamiliar city with the music up loud and the sunroof thrown back to show off the stars . all around is a humdrum nightmare of dead - end jobs and foreclosed homes , vacant lots on the endless road . but in the middle , in the moment , there’s the american dream .
the revolution that stan lee brought to comics was basically the idea that humans with superpowers were still humans nonetheless ( that ' s the revolution ? ? ? and yet from such small beginnings . . . ! ) and thus flawed , their flaws manifest in spite of whatever their extra power might be . and so this film ' s tragic story : teens get special abilities , yes , powers far beyond the ken of mortal men ( i love that phrase ! ) , but are no more capable relating to others than before , their personal idiosyncrasies just as apparent and what makes them special also makes them perhaps dangerous to the rest of us . told via the best cgi money can buy and well , what ' s delivered is not a bad tale of teen angst gone . . . wow . cool .
in terms of production of smaller films , any film really , i think that in general , people in the movie business have to realize that the money that has been out there for all these films and for their personal gain simply does not exist anymore . i have an especially sore spot for agents as they are the gatekeepers of all these projects ; and i understand that their job is not to make movies but to make deals . some agents i have dealt with are extremely progressive in the way they see reality , but others refuse to accept that that movie business they came up in no longer exists . i would hope that agents soon will come to terms with the fact that their talent—and the projects they want their talent in—need nurturing and thought and that they don’t just gun for the highest number . talent needs to account for themselves and to be more involved in this process as well .
arnold was raised on a kent housing estate . american honey , backed by the bfi and film4 , is her first us - set feature . but she points out that , back in the late 1990s , she studied film - making in la . it was america , then , that helped jump - start her career . “growing up , ” she says , “i was always very conscious of my class . i basically come from a working - class background . but when i went to america , i felt liberated , accepted for who i was as opposed to where i came from . i started to think i could be all i wanted to be , live the idealised life . so i understand the mindset . it’s very seductive . but how does it work if you’re a kid from a small town with no industry and no work except what you can get at the fast - food restaurant ? how do you rise above all that and find some self - belief ? ” for many – for most – the american dream is just that .
