Cannes (France) (EFE) .- Behind the film “The nice guys’ mind that gave birth to” Lethal Weapon “, Shane Black, who does not hide the trace of that saga is this funny and parodic film in which Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling play two bumbling private investigators.
“the nice guys”, screening today out of competition at the Cannes film Festival, revives the spirit of the “buddy movies” that were all the rage in the eighties and nineties of the last century, but gives it a twist that makes its protagonists more antiheroes than ever.
from the first second of the footage, the tape plunges the viewer through funk music and some titles retro credit in the vibrant Los Angeles in the late seventies, where Jackson Healey (Crowe, very much the tough guy) makes a living beating beatings on request .
in one of these missions will intersect with the clumsy Holland March (Gosling) who is dedicated to gouge their customers as a private detective unscrupulous dedicated to finding missing persons.
Both must find the young Amelia (Margaret Qualley), threatened by their murky involvement in a porn movie and his mother, played by Kim Basinger in another clear nod ochentero.
this will include the daughter helps March (Angourie Rice), who brings a certain dose of insight and common sense to the obtuse detectives.
Black -guionista of “Lethal Weapon” and director of “Iron Man 3″ or ” kiss kiss bang bang “- the classic characters blends antagonistic of the” buddy movies “with elements of comedy porrazos (or” slapstick “). And the character of Gosling gives a good account of it: both fall heights eventually believe immortal
Although the main characters distills much chemistry as Riggs and Murtaugh created by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. not unreasonable to predict that the tape will have a great tour box office, and has the added virtue of discovering the powerful comedic Gosling.
the story also takes place against the background of global warming and of pollution caused by the giants of the automotive industry in the United States, which are defended tooth and nail by the powers.
as hilarious as the film turned the press conference that offered the actors together to director and producer, Joel Silver (who also was “lethal Weapon”).
Very distended, Crowe and Gosling did not stop joking with each other and with reporters, leaving Black’s responsibility to serious answers.
it became clear that the director gave his actors great freedom to make contributions to their characters, allowing a number of unforeseen situations that ultimately appeared in the film.
“for Shane, the script is just a map, but not necessarily everything you want. He has the ability to understand that we understand the characters and what they want to tell. Is very enthusiastic to let us explore, “said the New Zealander Crowe in one of the rare occasions when he got serious.
Gosling was declared a big fan of movies written by Black in the eighties and nineties and she was grateful to have worked with a benchmark “and the great story” featuring “the nice guys”.
the atmosphere in the Los Angeles scoundrel 70s is for director under perfect for the film because, in his view, “still had that look of glamor and luxury that made it a destination for dreamers.”
and Black revealed that the project had been conceived at first for television, but “fortunately” got put up the film, which greatly benefits the work of its interpreters. EFE
