‘Dear Mr. Brody’ Review: A Doc About Greed, Need and Altruism
“亲爱的布罗迪先生”并不像作家导演基思·梅特兰（Keith Maitland）的纪录片《塔》（Tower）那样正式大胆在1970年，这位21岁的年轻人向小迈克尔·布罗迪（Michael Brody）承诺向任何人和所有要求的人捐款2500万美元之后。布罗迪（Brody）的狂野沃霍利亚人（Ward Warholian）15分钟的名声是这个引人入胜的文档的名义关注中心，在大流行年中，它在纪录片中获得了相当大的纪录片曝光（如果没有被取消，它将在Tribeca的2020年版中首映）。然而，它最引人入胜的重点是那些打字和手写的对应关系，可以对普遍梦想，欲望和令人心碎的斗争进行凄美，多方面的调查。吉尔克人源头帝国的继承人，布罗迪（Brody）的继承人使他成为头条新闻，当 - 在与妻子的妻子旋转时尚婚姻之后，他成为了头条新闻。并租用747 To从夏威夷度蜜月回家 - 他开始公开承诺捐出他的全部财富。布罗迪（Brody）声称，他的慷慨大方源于缓解人类痛苦并为世界带来和平与幸福的愿望。他的嬉皮士誓言立即吸引了数十名记者，以及各行各业的普通公民，他们拥挤了他的Scarsdale，纽约州的Scarsdale草坪和曼哈顿办公室的楼梯间。他们还写信给他，为为什么应得的一块巨大的馅饼做出了理由。尽管“亲爱的布罗迪先生”沮丧地拒绝识别其说话头的面试主题，这些演讲者（包括蕾妮）（包括蕾妮）非常有助于告诉这个故事，告诉这个故事。这个时代的新闻剪辑。在那个镜头中，布罗迪是一个显然不稳定的人，并且对他沮丧的童年和对PCP的喜爱有很大的启示，可以解释他在相机上的无关。从今天的角度看，布罗迪遇到了不是一个抚养和平与爱情的动力，但有严重的精神病问题的松散大炮，因此，这使梅特兰的电影对媒体和社会的潜在批评和社会对本身更感兴趣，而不是对这个哭泣的人。布罗迪的Spotlight Saga 10天仅证明了这个故事的一部分。 “亲爱的布罗迪先生”的真正钩子是发送给百万富翁的未打开信的宝藏，梅利莎·罗宾·格拉斯曼（Melissa Robyn Glassman在70年代，试图根据布罗迪（Brody）的奥德赛（Odyssey）（可能由理查德·德雷福斯（Richard Dreyfuss）主演）制作好莱坞功能。 Pressman的电影项目 - 以及Brody的童年朋友Don Enright的尝试 - 没有实现。然而，他从研究阶段保留的信件是为电影治疗而量身定制的，因为它们充满了困难和野心，痛苦和韧性的故事，梅特兰德（Maitland）导演在想象中复制作家的情况的场景中阅读了这些派遣，他还找到了一些现实生活中的作者关于人类需求和痛苦的多样性。这些派遣中有很多贪婪，还有幽默和利他主义，以及这部电影 - 与梅利莎（Melissa）的任务相似，他的使命是通过新闻记者和布罗迪（Brody）和布罗迪（Brody）的儿子杰米（Jamie）拥有成千上万的字母，以致敬那些被忽视和未解决的声音的致敬，以他们总是应得的尊重来对待他们，但被布罗迪（Brody）拒绝了。在“亲爱的布罗迪先生”中，布罗迪（Brody）的失控特技表现很棘手 - 这使他在“埃德·沙利文（Ed Sullivan）表演”和一个宾客中找到了一个客人。在结束失败和悲剧之前记录合同 - 太微不足道了，无法承受如此多的主题关注。那很好，他的诉讼从未如此认真地对待自己，确保包括关于布罗迪据称与沃尔特·克朗凯特（Walter Cronkite）共享联合的轶事，以及诸如男人要求为他的革命性的两层谷物碗提供资金的looper封信。
“Dear Mr. Brody” isn’t as formally daring as writer-director Keith Maitland’s documentary debut, “Tower,” but it nonetheless boasts plenty of nonfiction flourishes — most notably, dramatic recreations of some of the thousands of unopened letters that were sent to Michael Brody Jr. in 1970 after the 21-year-old promised that he’d give away $25 million to anyone and everyone who asked. Brody’s wild Warholian 15 minutes of fame are the nominal center of attention of this fascinating doc, which has gotten considerable documentary exposure in a pandemic year (it would have premiered at Tribeca’s 2020 edition, had that event not been canceled). Yet its most fascinating focus are those typed and handwritten correspondences, which allow for
The heir to the Jelke margarine empire, Brody made headlines when — after marrying his wife Renee in whirlwind fashion, and chartering a 747 to return them home from their Hawaii honeymoon — he began making public pledges to donate his entire fortune. Brody claimed that his generosity sprang from a desire to ease mankind’s pain and bring peace and happiness to the world. His hippie-ish vow immediately attracted scores of journalists, as well as throngs of average citizens from all walks of life who crowded the lawn of his Scarsdale, N.Y. home and the stairwells of his Manhattan office. They also wrote him, making their case for why they deserved a piece of his vast pie.
Though “Dear Mr. Brody” frustratingly refuses to identify its talking-head interview subjects, those speakers — including Renee — ably help tell this tale alongside archival news clips from the era. In that footage, Brody is as an obviously unstable individual, and revelations about his despondent childhood and his fondness for PCP do much to explain his unhinged on-camera conduct. Viewed from the perspective of today, Brody comes across as not an entertaining peace-and-love pothead but a loose cannon with serious psychiatric problems, which consequently provides Maitland’s film with an underlying critique of a media, and society, more interested in itself than in this crying-out-for-help man.
Lasting only 10 days, Brody’s spotlight saga proves only part of this story. The real hook of “Dear Mr. Brody” is the treasure trove of unopened letters that were sent to the millionaire, and which Melissa Robyn Glassman discovered in the possession of her boss, film producer Edward R. Pressman, who had them because he spent time in the ’70s trying to produce a Hollywood feature based on Brody’s odyssey (potentially starring Richard Dreyfuss). Pressman’s movie project — as well as one attempted by Brody’s childhood friend Don Enright — didn’t materialize. The letters he kept from his research phase, however, turn out to be tailor-made for cinematic treatment, given that they’re rife with tales of hardship and ambition, suffering and resilience, egotism and selflessness.
Director Maitland has actors read these dispatches in scenes that imaginatively duplicate the writers’ circumstances, and he also finds a few of their real-life authors so they can revisit their missives for the first time in decades, thereby shining a light on the diversity of human need and misery. There’s plenty of greed in those dispatches, but also humor and altruism, and the film — paralleling Melissa’s mission to make her way through the tens of thousands of letters possessed by Pressman and Brody’s son Jamie — functions as a tribute to those ignored and unanswered voices, treating them with the respect they always deserved but were denied by Brody.
There’s a nagging sense throughout “Dear Mr. Brody” that Brody’s out-of-control stunt — which netted him a guest spot on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and a recording contract before ending in failure and tragedy — is too trivial to shoulder so many weighty thematic concerns. It’s good, then, that the proceedings never take themselves too seriously, making sure to include amusing anecdotes about Brody allegedly sharing a joint with Walter Cronkite, and loopier letters such as one in which a man requests funding for his revolutionary two-tiered cereal bowl.
