| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The Real Blonde is a Really good movie A must see! |
| The Real Blonde is a real Gem. I missed this one in the theatres but I'm glad I caught it on at home. In the slog of bad, over budgeted, over promoted special effects laden bad movies, The Real Blonde is a true diamond in the rough. It's one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.
The Real Blonde is an ensemble movie that focuses on the lives and loves of people struggling to make it in the Film & TV industry in New York. Matthew Modine plays Joe, a 35-year old waiter who works a catering job by day and dreams of starring in a movie. In the face of constant rejection, he refuses to compromise and will only take work in a movie. His friend Bob is tired of struggling and decides to just take a job on a soap opera. (Which like the characters in the movie say isn't acting.) His dream is to fall in love with a "Real Blonde". Modine's girlfriend played by Catherine Keener is a Photographer's assistant is frustrated. There's a reason for her anger, she's unsure of her relationship, and Joe's lack of success. Joe contemplates giving up his dream, but soon after getting the after Bob meets the "Real Blonde" played by Elizabeth Berkley things seem to get better for Joe. Bob gives Joe "Madonna's number" to keep Joe's hope alive. Soon after, Joe gets a job in a Madonna video as a dancer. His girlfriend manages to make progress in a self-defense class she's taken to deal with her anger. Bob juggles a model and his soap co-star (a great Darryl Hannah) pondering which one is a "Real Blonde" while having to deal with the absurdity of fame and Soap opera plots. As the soap story stalls, (brilliant metaphor) so do the lives of our characters. Fired from the video, Joe and his girl are about to break up. Bob's soap character starts getting dull. But when soap star Bob requests that the writers kill the constantly suicidal Blonde in the name of progress co-star of his soap this great movie comes to a satisfying conclusion. All the actors in this ensemble film give great performances. Tom Dicillo's strong direction makes his well-written story so compelling that you want to see it through to the end. His visuals depict life in New York accurately; giving us a sneak peek into the lives of these struggling actors and the behind the scenes look of all the problems they face trying to find work. As a struggling writer I could definitely relate to these characters and their turmoil. Trying to keep a dream alive is harder than working towards the dream itself in these fields. The pain of constant rejection, the pressures of bills, age, and the temptation of giving up a dream for that steady stable job are what all aspiring actors, writers, and producers face. I highly recommend buying this film. It's a great gift for theatre majors, aspiring actors, and screenwriters or anyone who just wants to see a good movie. |
