The Jacket

Just watched The Jacket again. I still find Tom Bleecker's story and John Maybury 's directing are fascinating. Don't know why the writer is not writing more story of this kind, and don't know why the director has to wait 3 long years to make another film. But one thing for sure is that this film is one of the most successful independent movies from Warner Brothers. Brian Eno's composed music was every corner of the film when your heart most needed. Andy Tubman's "Quiet inside" and David Arnold & Iggy Pop's version of "We Have All the Time In the World" (Louis Armstrong) was really well selected for the ending credit. And again, the independent movie's soundtrack is nowhere to find.
Sure you can't miss Adrien Brody's heart breaking performance as always. It's hard to find the better cast to play someone in such misery but him. Wondering when he finally get opportunity to gain some weight. I also really like Jennifer Jason Leigh in here, cause beside her great acting, she's rare actress "heathly" dealing with her aging reality. We see also the next not very charming Bond Daniel Craig plays a drug addict pretend or not pretend to be a psychy loser. That I can't say I'm looking forward to see his "Bond 22" (2008) but sure I'll like to see him in "I, Lucifer" soon.
Brief. I always find the dead but not really, time travel kind story very interesting. And to have more movies like so, we should also support more independent filmmakers.
