Honestly never made compromises, because of career, family, children? Never taken injustices in purchase to one’s own advantage? Never cheated in money matters, not take it quite as accurate with morality?
Who can ward off all these questions with a clear conscience, who has always remained clean and with integrity in life, which is “A Most Violent Year” know what to do probably little. All other are likely to find themselves. In Abel Morales (what a name!), The distinguished New Yorkers son of Colombian immigrants (Oscar Isaac), who wants to bring his oil company forward, without becoming a Mobster.
All he puts his money in the down payment on a factory site on the East River; with access to the waterway he could rise to number one in the oil business. He has four weeks to raise the balance: $ 1,500,000
Beautiful newly rich world.. The company Abel took over from his father, a mafia boss. But Abel wants to stay legal, necessarily. Little does he know that his beautiful wife Anna (Jessica Chastain in snow-white, tight belted maxi coat, she was the heroine in “Zero Dark Thirty”) fudged the books. When the couple anfährt a deer, it is to shoot the animal ado.
It’s a tough business. Winter 1981, according to statistics the year with the highest crime rate in New York City, the city was never such a stranglehold on the crime again. A cold sun is above the city, the light is dim, his icy air. Abel jogging through the suburbs, not a fancy neighborhood. Rather for upstarts, for people who are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Abel’s coat is too thin for the season, he fits right in his outfit otherwise. His kingdom, his boss, he is still practicing. The house, which he refers to his wife and children, takes off like a UFO, a somewhat unreal dream – before precisely on children’s birthday party turns up the police with a search warrant. Abel has many problems. The union wants his company drivers arm, because the competition, coat the tankers now in broad daylight, stealing the oil, the driver claps bad. But Abel is being stubborn, weapons it does not come into the house at all concern for the employees. Not even a little daughter finds a loaded gun in the front yard? And why the other smile so friendly, the Italian oil magnate at the hairdresser, the Jewish landowners in Deal to the site by the river? Why determines the prosecutor (David Oyelowo) against him? And who financed Abel his credit, as the bank jump off?
Over the haze is the Manhattan skyline. At the beginning you think for a moment to see the World Trade Center. From a distance, Abel looks at those high-rise buildings, in which “Margin Call” plays JC Chandors film about the financial crisis. Save This broker’s own million by repelling toxic assets over night and thus the financial world into the abyss. A film about the greed, the best to the crash of 2008.
The heroes of “Margin Call” were men without scruples, they acted beyond any morality. Abel has not yet crossed the line. But this time it’s Chandor less about psychology than to capitalism’s inherent violence to an archaic system (accompanied by organ music, such as Abel biblical name) that makes the hero no choice. Was he ever not corrupt? How strange is the controlled self-made man, how much determines a dear money? Who wants that to know.
The Mafia, which has gradually become clear tolerated him only as long as it is not too powerful. Anna knows more, wants more than her husband, also before Abel can hardly turn a blind eye. He wants to stay clean? He never was but wants partout ignore the brutal reality, the actor he is long. The latest New York murders in the radio news, the chase about rotten factory and railway land after the oil thieves, the guilt that invites Abel to the still darkened with glistening snow pictures – the violence is everywhere. J. C. Chandor (“All Is Lost”) is a master of down elusive but ever-present threat.
While jogging Abel keeps panting fit, so the audience can learn to know him. As a man of action such as Wretched, as one who wants to reach the top but only gets out of breath. There are others who hold the reins in his hand, those who Abel must now beg to usury loans. About the smart, super-wealthy Peter (Alessandro Nivola), the balls fired in his new bunker on a gigantic indoor tennis court over the net. A irrwitzigere interior design of power one has seldom seen in the movies.
