- Scott Phelps13 maggio 2025A hard-hitting and heavy subject matter in this dark drama, shows the harrowing torment of a broken Lee (Casey Affleck) due his own personal past tragedy whilst subsequently having to provide fatherly support for his nephew, leads us as a viewer to feel as emotionaly null to life as his character. Throughout this film, there is an overridding sense of abandoment and monotony - reflected in it’s slower pacing and story-telling. With it’s only changing pace from this through “flashback” snippets of highly poignant memories, allowing us glimpses to why Affleck’s character displays such misery; void of all feeling to the world and those around him. He carries with him such a self-reflective and weighty burden of guilt that has “beaten him”, that as an audience we empathise his suppressed pain even after being led to villianise him due to the traumatic events we’ve witnessed. This movie for sure hit true that life can indeed be taken from us (or by us?) in such a quick manner, but the wake of such tragedy is forever and we’d never rightly be happy again. A fantasic stark contrast to watching our lead (protagonist really doesn’t apply here…) go from being just a husk of a man, to being unwillingly thrust into a farther-figure role to console his nephew was by far the most gripping aspect of a “reality true” drama movie. Although not up there with some of my favourite hard-hitting and emotionally choking dramas, and aside from it’s social-media driven hype; it definitely has it’s place amongst films that were worth watching. Ultimately, it left me satisfied with a well-told story, but somewhat craving further expansion of emotion which could be achieved through more significant powerful flashbacks to take it to that top tier list.
- Tanalien9 gennaio 2025Manchester By The Sea shows us the center of the story in the opening shots: an uncle, Lee (Casey Affleck), horsing around with his nephew, Patrick (Lucas Hedges), aboard the family’s fishing vessel. It is a glimpse of their being in a different time before they were suddenly gripped by the loss of a brother and a father. The film is about Lee and Patrick’s journey away from trying times. The cause of this film’s staying power in my psyche is Casey Affleck’s performance as Lee Chandler. Lee looks like a regular guy, except he’s not. The scars that he shoulders are immediately visible. He displays a frequent inability to make eye contact, feels no reason to end unbearably long silences, remains disinterested in hockey, and rejects attempts for others’ caring touch. As we learn, the character we meet has completely devolved from the man he once was. Social norms are not front of mind. The things he used to love do not bring him solace anymore. Lee is possessed by a nagging sense of guilt for his past actions and a great deal of shame for his hidden notoriety in Manchester. His propensity for drunken bar fights comes from a dark place: a need for all that pain to go somewhere.
