Filmanalyse

Genre

xxx vergleicht den Film mit dem Film The Great Train Robbery von Edwin S Porter aus dem Jahr 1903, der is generally agreed to have been the first western ever made, masked men stole money at gunpoint and were pursued at length by a furious posse. That neatly sums up the plot of Hell or High Water, which may be set in the gloomy present but is a western in all but name if you're prepared to substitute Fords and Chevrolets for horses. + Hell or High Water reminds one at times of the Coen brothers' 'No Country for Old Men', a comparison that can only be complementary. http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/movie-reviews/review-why-hell-or-high-water-is-one-of-the-best-films-well-see-all-year-35033360.html

For all the methodical pacing and old archetypes, Hell or High Water is a thoroughly contemporary action film, complete with fast chases and flashes of dark comedy. But like the classic Westerns, it invites viewers to evaluate, one more time, the myth of the American outlaw, and the idea of criminals as heroes. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/12/12454490/hell-or-high-water-movie-review-western-chris-pine

In these new Westerns, the frontier is neither boundless, nor lawless — it’s bankrupt. And the only reinvention possible takes the form of an ill-fated struggle to take back some small measure of control over your fate. http://www.vulture.com/2016/08/hell-or-high-water-and-the-wests-broken-promise.html

Clint Eastwood nannte Western eine ‘truly American art form’. The frontier drama was an origin story for white American audiences — and it is telling how fondly those origins were presented. Der New Western xxx David Mackenzie meinte: “I wanted to embrace America [...] To assimilate, not just get wide-eyed about the landscape. [...] The whole film is about loss of faith in institutions” Mackenzie sagte weiter: “It’s cyclical,” Mackenzie says. “Ten years ago I tried to get a Western made and was told that no one went to see them. Now everyone wants them. In fact, while it’s still possible, I want to do another.” http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/da0c2bea-6f9c-11e6-a0c9-1365ce54b926.html

Neo-Western ohne eindeutige zeitliche Verortung / zeitlos xxx “Hell or High Water” addresses changing times and the breakdown of community through the lens of old-fashioned good guys and bad guys. Here, though, the foe isn't a hyped-up embodiment of irrational evil but something far more specific, structural and utterly of its time. http://triblive.com/aande/movies/10942674-74/hell-bad-tanner

Felix Zwinzscher: "Und hier ist der Punkt, an dem sich die beiden Ende des politischen Spektrums treffen. Eigentlich sind Cowboys Ikonen der Konservativen. Harte Männer, die fern jedes Nanny-Staates ihr Glück selbst machen. Reiter der Unabhängigkeit, die sich von niemandem vorschreiben lassen, ob und wo sie rauchen dürfen oder nicht."

Landschaftsaufnahmen, Texas hart https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/sep/11/hell-or-high-water-review

In the badlands of west Texas,

aber the Texas in this film is a bleak, modern-day version of the classic frontier: bleached-out, wrung dry, economically withered, and largely abandoned. This movie presents the “West” as neither a land of eternal possibility nor a stage for moral anarchy, but rather as a broken promise — a place barely populated by dispirited people with nowhere left to turn. This is the frontier in foreclosure. http://www.vulture.com/2016/08/hell-or-high-water-and-the-wests-broken-promise.html

The landscape the good and bad guys cross is lined with abandoned homesteads and boarded up shops, and the difference with this recession is that entire communities may never recover from it. http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/movie-reviews/review-why-hell-or-high-water-is-one-of-the-best-films-well-see-all-year-35033360.html

Kameramann xxx makes West Texas' run-down towns and naked rocky plains look tragic and lonely. In his lens, Pine and Foster are as hard and enduring as the landscape. A witness to one of their crimes describes them both as "lean like cowboys," which more or less sums up the whole film: there isn't a wasted moment here. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/12/12454490/hell-or-high-water-movie-review-western-chris-pine

Der Hass der Protagonisten auf Banken überträgt sich auf den Zuschauer xxx Terry Newell mein in der xxx sieht im Film A Parable And A Problem xxx What is thought-provoking, however, is that the film’s core question is not about what is legal but what is just. Set in the hardscrabble life of West Texas, in which Toby notes that poverty is passed down from generation to generation, the only prosperous people are bankers. Aided by the law, which they no doubt have helped create, they have political and economic control. Newell meint, the film moves us emotionally toward the conclusion that sometimes justice requires flouting the law. und Hass auf die Bänker... How do we ensure the law promotes justice? And if, as in Hell or High Water, the system is unjust, is disregard of the law an acceptable alternative? Are the film’s Robin Hoods heroes, even though innocent people died?

So viel findet der Zuschauer im Laufe der ersten Hälfte des Films über die Motivation der brüderlichen Raubüberfälle heraus.

Amerikakritik

"Another way of looking at Hell or High Water is as a meditation on the America so many of us know but so few of us talk about, the America where people don’t get by, where people rob banks for $5,000. The America of the countless fading towns that leave no cultural footprint, where jobs are minimum-wage and part-time and a day where you find five bucks in a ditch is a good day." xxxx Horton ergänzt: "Where cities are hours away and vaguely unknowable. These parts of the country have been struggling for decades. They’ve been struggling since Eisenhower moved the roads. America has built up its cities and neglected its towns. The future is an urban gray, and this angers and saddens the people who don’t want it." Auch zu DT xxx Horton ein Verbindung: "They were angry and sad before Trump and they’ll be angry and sad whether Trump wins or loses. It’s fitting that it stars Jeff Bridges, who once upon a time starred in two important films about the struggle to survive in Forgotten America: The Last Picture Show and Fat City." xxx meint, der Film meditated on place, and in that meditation they revealed a lifestyle fading to black.

auch xxxx Waffengesetze und der allgemeine Umgang mit Schusswaffen in den USA...Für Trevor Johnston vom British Film Institute xxx Perhaps the most memorable sequence of all, and one possibly betraying the directorial sensibility of an outsider confounded by the resilience of America’s ongoing gun culture, has the two siblings riskily knocking off a larger bank branch at a time when it’s filled with customers – the vast majority of whom are packing weapons. As the robbers take flight, these ordinary citizens spontaneously filter out into a posse/motorcade giving chase, the right to self-defence and the possibility of a restorative act of heroism seemingly hardwired into their DNA.

Patriotismus und Rassismus

There's deep grief in “Hell or High Water,” as well as grudging, rueful wit and sinewy home truths about ethnicity in a pre-post-racial America. If the filmmakers are too obvious in their depiction of the Big Bad Banks, they still deserve credit for bringing style and solid values to a movie that winds up being less about crime, comeuppance and genre cliches than continuity, change, the cruel legacy of dispossession and the fight to create a usable past. http://triblive.com/aande/movies/10942674-74/hell-bad-tanner

Hell and High Water makes no bones when it comes to the subject of the nation's class disparity and hard times. The robberies that the brothers commit have a personal impetus, involving the family home and the threat of foreclosure. http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/hell-or-high-water-the-story-behind-summers-sleeper-hit-w435386
