'Motherless Brooklyn' review: A very smart movie

(Lethem specifies Tourette's syndrome; the movie doesn't hazard a diagnosis.) Lionel's physical twitches and tics are often accompanied by bursts of wordplay that are more poetic than profane. They are sometimes played for comedy, though not in a cruel way - Norton is as protective of the character's dignity as Lionel is solicitous of the vulnerable souls who come his way - and sometimes mined for morals. "Name it, claim it, shame it!" Lionel spouts involuntarily during a late showdown with the chief bad guy. That could serve as a tag line, with "it" referring to the abuses of power that Lionel finds as he tries to unravel an especially vexing case, one involving him and everyone he cares about. The buzzing mind that has cursed him with social awkwardness has also blessed him with a photographic memory and superior powers of pattern recognition, so he is able to piece together a puzzle that stretches from the city's meanest neighbourhoods to its pinnacles of privilege and authority.Admirers of Lethem's novel may find themselves puzzled by what Norton has done with it. He has moved the action backward in time and dramatically expanded its scope, replacing modesty, irony and charm with earnest, sometimes overstrained ambition. But filmmakers don't owe literary works their reverence, just their intelligence, and Motherless Brooklyn is a very smart movie, bristling with ideas about history, politics, art and urban planning.Norton's taste in collaborators and themes is impeccable. The musical score, with its Elmer Bernstein echoes, is by Daniel Pemberton, and is supplemented by Wynton Marsalis's fresh, precise interpretations of period-appropriate jazz classics. The big cast, playing a sprawling cross-section of the metropolitan population, is a remarkable collection of talent. The actors glide in and out of moments that are by turns intimate, absurd, frightening and poignant. The autumnal images were gathered by the great cinematographer Dick Pope. I'm trying to postpone saying why it doesn't all quite work.Lionel is one of a handful of shamuses - Bobby Cannavale, Ethan Suplee and Dallas Roberts play the others - known as Minna's men. Frank Minna (Bruce Willis), their boss, rescued them from an orphanage when they were young, and trained them to be private detectives. A meeting with some unsavoury clients goes wrong and Frank ends up dead, leaving behind his business and a widow (Leslie Mann) who seems less than entirely heartbroken. It's up to Lionel to figure out what happened. A trail of clues, hunches and accidents leads him down a rabbit hole of political intrigue and double-dealing.He finds himself mixed up with equal-housing activists (Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Cherry Jones), a jazz trumpeter (Michael Kenneth Williams), a Harlem nightclub owner (Robert Ray Wisdom) and a wild-eyed ranter (Willem Dafoe). Somehow it all connects to Moses Randolph (Alec Baldwin), the unelected power broker and master builder who runs the city with a ruthless hand and absolute confidence in his own vision.Randolph, played with the bullying dynamism that is Baldwin's finest, strongest note, is traced over the likeness of Robert Moses, a storied and polarising figure in New York history. Norton places him, plausibly enough, at the centre of a tale of large-scale malfeasance and personal vice that suggests a variation on Chinatown. Post-war New York real estate takes the place of Depression-era Los Angeles water as the all-consuming obsession at the heart of the story. Lionel is the little guy who sticks his nose where it doesn't belong and sniffs out the corruption of the big shots - the racism, petty cruelty and sexual depravity underneath the grand conspiracies.His decency is the axis on which the story turns, and also the movie's principal flaw. Lionel goes into battle without the armour of cynicism that most movie private eyes before him have worn; instead, he is clad in a righteousness that is ultimately hard to distinguish from vanity. Motherless Brooklyn devotes a lot of time to explanation, which may be necessary given the intricacy of the plot, but which turns into a lecture after a while. A fable of power dissipates in a fantasy of rescue. Lionel evolves a little too conveniently from misfit to paladin, from ally of the marginal and oppressed to their would-be saviour. He's a kind of noble answer to the Joker, another beleaguered city dweller who explains his strange behavior with reference to a neurological condition.The high-mindedness of the movie, its showy conviction that its heart is in the right place, dulls some of its political insights. And its grandiosity undermines the ragged pleasures of the genre. Norton seems to have decided that the best way to celebrate Lionel's underdog scrappiness was to build a monument in its honour.

Ford v Ferrari movie review: Christian Bale, Matt Damon are terrific in James Mangold's truly exhilarating cinematic experience

It is pulse-pounding and propulsive, despite a two-and-a-half hour runtime. The racing sequences are so authentically mounted that you can almost smell the burning rubber as the squealing tyres pierce your soul and your seats shudder every time a car roars across the screen. It simply won't be as enjoyable an experience at home, and in that regard, Ford v Ferrari is a lot like Clint Eastwood's Sully — a truly cinematic picture, made in America, about everyday American heroes. the Ford v Ferrari trailer here Faced with dwindling sales, Henry Ford II, forever overwhelmed by the legacy of his illustrious father, decides that the best way to reverse the fortunes of the iconic company would be to stage an elaborate PR manoeuvre. After his obnoxious display of wealth is roundly rejected by Enzo Ferrari, Ford resolves to humiliate him on the world stage, at an event with which the Italian manufacturer is synonymous. Ford seeks out the services of visionary automative designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), and tasks him with creating a car that could challenge Ferrari at the 24-hour Le Mans race in France — an endurance test that is as much about speed as it is about the resilience of the men controlling the machines. And to achieve this near impossible task — Ford has no history of racing — Shelby bats for the perpetually greasy, Typhoo drinking, eccentric English driver, Ken Miles (Christian Bale). Miles has a history of being difficult to deal with, which is one of the reasons why, despite being blessed with unmatched instinct and skill, he has been permanently pitted by the racing community. Bale is quite tremendous in the role; like Miles, keenly aware of precisely when to put his foot on the gas, and more importantly, exactly when to ease off. He pitches his performance ever so slightly over-the-top, acutely aware of the kind of film he's in. Because despite being a drama geared at a modern multiplex audience, Ford v Ferrari is delightfully old-fashioned in its execution — everything is dialled up; every emotional beat, every animalistic grunt, and every swerve around a hairpin bend; to create a uniquely communal experience. This image released by 20th Century fox shows Christian Bale, left, and Noah Jupe in a scene from Ford v Ferrari. (Merrick Morton/20th Century Fox via AP) ( AP ) And perhaps because Mangold got carried away by evoking old-school Hollywood moviemaking, the secondary characters are rather thinly sketched. As Miles' long-suffering (and slavishly devoted) wife, Catriona Balfe has been saddled with a role that would have felt outdated even two decades ago. Often, she is restricted to palpitating in solitude, as her man risks his life making the moolah. In a couple of scenes, she is literally reduced to the worrying wife stereotype, and I'm convinced Balfe has more screen time with a telephone, or a cup of tea, than with Bale. It is unfortunate that such a refined film is ultimately reduced to a battle of bruised male egos. Had the comically villainous Enzo Ferrari not rebuffed Ford's offer to buy his company off, none of this would've happened. But to its credit, the film taps into this idea rather admirably — both Miles and Shelby were nothing more than tiny cogs in a giant corporate machine, their singular achievements dwarfed by the commerce that controls them all. As Miles ruefully says towards the end, right before a shot that reminded me of Casablanca of all films, 'All (Ford) wanted to do was sell cars.' And what beautiful machines they are, shot with almost fetishistic practicality by Mangold's longtime cinematographer Phedon Papamichael. As exhilarating as Ford v Ferrari is, it begins and ends with moments of quiet introspection. It is a remarkable achievement, and deserves to be seen big and loud.

Sabarimala explained: Supreme Court verdict, protests and controversy

Situated about 3,000 feet above sea level, Sabarimala temple is around 175 km north from state capital Thiruvananthapuram. Devotees from across the country throng the temple during the festival season between November and January every year. The journey to the temple is arduous because vehicles can go only up to Pamba base camp. Devotees have to trek 5 kms through forests. After Mecca, Sabarimala is considered to be the second largest seasonal pilgrim centre in the world. Custodian of the temple, Travancore Devasom Board says around 3-4 crore pilgrims visit the temple during the season. The King of Pandalam during a hunt reportedly found an abandoned baby in the forest and took him to the palace. He grew up in the court as his son. It is believed that Lord Ayyappa is son of Hari (Vishnu) who took the form of Mohini and Hara (Lord Siva). After killing the powerful demon Mahishi, he is believed to have meditated in Sabarimala. Later, a temple was built in his memory by the King of Pandalam. Though women of a certain age group were barred, believers of other religions are welcome. Lord Ayyappa's favourite disciple Vavar Swami was a Muslim and devotes have to offer prayers at his mosque before proceeding to the hilltop. Renowned singer K J Yesudas is an ardent devotee and a regular visitor. Once a devotee dons bead and wears the black cloth, he's known as 'Swami' and not by his name. Ban on women in Sabarimala was first challenged in Kerala High Court which in 1991 ruled that restriction was part of an age-old tradition. Upheld restriction on women between 10-50 age group. Indian Young Lawyers' Association filed a PIL in Supreme Court challenging the temple's practice saying it was discriminatory and against gender justice. The issue was referred to a three-judge bench. Then Congress-led state government favoured status quo. The plea came up for hearing after eight years. A constitution bench was formed to hear the plea. The CPI(M)-led state government supported entry of women A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court allowed women of all ages to enter the temple. The SC takes up 60-odd review peitions DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Indore Test: Mayank Agarwal notches up second double ton in style

Mayank took 304 balls to cross the double hundred mark and his innings was laced with 25 fours and five sixes. It was fitting that Mayank got to his double ton off Mehidy whom he took a liking to and scored most runs off. Mayank had scored 215 on October 2 in Visakhapatnam against South Africa. He followed it up with a 108 in Pune against the same opposition. Earlier, Mayank got to 150 in 234 balls and was batting on 156 at tea after scoring his 100 from 183 balls. At the start of the day, Mayank was batting on 37 with Cheteshwar Pujara who scored 54. Mayank joined hands with India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane for a 190-run stand for the fourth wicket. The day belonged to Mayank who drove, cut and pulled to perfection and even stepped out to smash Mehidy for sixes. As the Bangladesh bowlers tired, the job became easier for Mayank as he became more aggressive and displayed his full repertoire in front of the spectators who were thoroughly entertained. function catchException() {try{ twitterJSDidLoad(); }catch(e){}} function getAndroidVersion(ua) {ua = (ua || navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase(); var match = ua.match(/android\\s([0-9\\.]*)/);return match ? match[1] : false;}; var versions='4.2.2'; var versionArray=versions.split(',');var currentAndroidVersion=getAndroidVersion();if(versionArray.indexOf(currentAndroidVersion)!=-1){var blocks = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote'); for(var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++){blocks[i].innerHTML = '';}}DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Pakistan PM Khan's ex-wife Reham Khan wins defamation case against news channel

'The most serious allegation that he made was to claim that our client had colluded with her ex-husband's political rivals, the Pakistan Muslim League, and accepted a substantial payment from or on behalf of its leader, Shehbaz Sharif, in return for writing her autobiography,' said Alex Cochrane from Hamlins LLP, who represented Reham in the Royal Courts of Justice in London. 'Dunya TV has now made a full and unequivocal public apology to our client and it has accepted that she never received any payments from Shehbaz Sharif or anyone in the Pakistan Muslim League for her book. Dunya TV has also given an undertaking not to repeat these false allegations about our client and they have paid her substantial damages and all her legal costs,' he said. The court heard that during the telecast last year, Reham, a journalist and broadcaster, was also likened to a historical Pakistani female figure known as 'Budhan Bai', who was a well-known courtesan, as part of a series of 'slurs' upon her reputation. Dunya TV, a 24-hour Urdu language news and current affairs television channel which has a licence to broadcast in the UK, said that it accepts that the allegations made by the guest commentator, Sheikh Rasheed, were 'wholly untrue'. 'The Defendant (Dunya News Limited) accepts that there was and is no truth in the allegations advanced during the broadcast and is happy to set the record straight and apologise to the Claimant (Reham),' notes the court order. Reham had also complained to the UK's media watchdog, the Office of Communications (OFCOM), in the wake of the broadcast last year. In February this year, that complaint had been upheld by OFCOM. At the conclusion of her legal battle, the mediaperson whose controversial memoir titled 'Reham Khan' made references to her marriage to Imran Khan before their divorce in 2015, said she felt 'fully vindicated'. She said in a statement: 'I am glad that justice has finally prevailed. It took me a long legal battle to prove my innocence and the fact that I was victimised and defamed by Dunya and several other news channels for business and political gains'. 'It's hurtful that sections of Pakistani media and politicians linked with PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf) made false allegations knowing well that these allegations lacked any truth. I hope that my victory and vindication serves as a catalyst for ethical journalism and honest politics in Pakistan.' ...
