The Bostonians (1984). A Boston feminist and a conservative Southern lawyer contend for the heart and mind of a beautiful and bright girl unsure of her future.

Man, I wish this was better than it was. The push-pull between warring parts of your identity as manifested in a uniquely tangled love triangle really works on paper, but unfortunately it never finds its resonance despite the very good performances of Christopher Reeve and Vanessa Redgrave. In many ways, Madeleine Potter unfortunately feels like the weak link - you never quite buy her as the magnetic presence the movie tries to sell her as, but beyond that, her moral dilemma never quite feels like one you can sink your teeth into. It's a bit of a bummer, because it feels like there's a really special movie in here somewhere, this just isn't it. 5/10.

I like the 2011 remake of Footloose because:

Ren is a Bostonian who moves to rural Georgia (the US state), instead of a Chicagoan who moves to a small town in what seems to be Utah. This is an understandable choice—the actor is Bostonian, the movie was shot in Georgia, and it still establishes the big city/small town conflict—but Boston to rural Georgia is such a specific transition, compared to the original, that it throws me. Boston to rural Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine is equivalent. Atlanta to rural Georgia and New York/LA/Chicago to rural Georgia are both roughly equivalent. Boston is kind of a weird choice!

The movie shows the party, the car wreck, and the passing of the ordinance banning dancing that make up the backstory of Footloose. This is great if you were confused by the original movie.

Instead of having divorced parents and moving to a small town with his mother to stay with relatives (presumably for financial reasons), Ren has a mom who died of cancer and a dad who took off as soon as she got sick, and he’s living with relatives because he is effectively an orphan. I don’t even think this is gratuitously sad—the same exact thing happened to one of my classmates growing up, although he didn’t have to move—but this is the most significant change in a largely very faithful adaptation. Did someone just watch Footloose (1984) and go “this is great, but I’m gonna kill that kid’s mom”? Were they trying to save on middle-aged actresses?

#footloose (2011) #there’s something charming about a very redundant remake #it’s like having a dream about a movie where everything is just slightly different
