TRAILER
ABOUT THE FILM
Director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) puts forth a sweet, Capra-esque romantic drama. Steeped in nostalgic Americana, a blacklisted Hollywood writer loses his memory and helps a small town heal their wounds as they re-open their dormant movie theatre, The Majestic. Starring Jim Carrey, Martin Landau, and Laurie Holden.
In Roger Ebert’s review from 2001, he gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, and wrote “It is set in the early 1950s, but the parallels with today are unmistakable and frightening. […] In an age of Rambo patriotism, it is good to be reminded of Capra patriotism—to remember that America is not just about fighting and winning, but about defending our freedoms. If we defeat the enemy at the cost of our own principles, who has won?”
Overshadowed on its release by the 3-punch competition of The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Ocean’s Eleven, The Majestic is achingly sincere, wearing its heart on its sleeve, and satisfying in its classic Hollywood structure. Plus it features an excellent soundtrack of big band, blues, and jazz classics, and involves a town’s love for their movie theatre. What’s a better way to celebrate a cinematic birthday than that? —Matt DeTurck
