(the clean river always invited to everything that we do not like in life)
Two drawings of a river open and close the (fake) documentary I'm Still Here were running together Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix, one in the role of a (fake) filmmaker, the other on the role of a (fake) actor who leaves everything to pursue music. I will not extend to the game of reality mirrors fiction in this genre that has produced excellent products throughout history. Nor do I speak here of the network jumps without giving Phoenix to accept this game that forced him to become a be undesirable for an entire year. What I like to emphasize is the fact the film begins and ends in a river in the same river many years later.
In the foreground we see, shot in Super 8, a boy tries to jump into a backwater of the river from a rock. The landscape is idyllic: a waterfall, clear water, heat. An elderly man who encouraged him and watching him. But the child is afraid and doubt. At the end jumps and dives into the water.
the end of the film, after following Phoenix's fatal leap into the murky waters of undigested fame and everything that crawls, we see the actor as he is at that time, after a year of living another life, walk on the same river, slowly sinking into the water. It is an image to recover the innocence of a child who jumped into the Super 8 in the foreground, now with an urgent need to clean the (fake) life has represented throughout the time of the film footage. Both in one and the other plane, it represents the way to achieve the objective: the value of jumping, the ability to clean.
Besides all his other qualities, just for those two planes and am interested in this film. Recovery
