Gone in Sixty Seconds
How to star rate a warm fondness and the decimation of years... The flick feels strangely better now than it did then. Arguably wasn't all that great to begin with, and I abandoned it and others like it for a long while. It's the memory that does me in. The context of growing up, my perception of the world yet to be blown open. Seeing it, too, when it first hit theaters, just me and my dad at some shithole Gulf Coast venue. Place was probably a converted auto repair shop. Long and narrow rooms with bare, flat cement flooring, flaking recliner chairs likely found at a series of dilapidated estate sales, beer bottles clinking, cigarette smoke drifting. Dad let me share one of those beers, laughed a little at the "you need a role model" dialogue, winced towards me during the "sex while stealing cars" bit, and then just forgetting about it while we went somewhere to eat afterwards. Ok, sure, I then totally wanted a GT500 for the next year. And also listened to too much Moby. Flash forward two decades and losing my mind at how I had apparently memorized this whole stupid movie? I don't actively remember watching it a bunch of times but found myself anticipating just about every line, reaction, facial tic, inflection, gesture, threat, and so on. Bit of a personal reckoning to realize you internalized a middling-to-ok action/heist Nicolas Cage ensemble flick from the pre-9/11 era, but here we are. It's paint-by-numbers blockbuster'ing in the most pedestrian way (ha!) but by god if I don't enjoy that particular cast filling in their particular shapes and doing it while color graded to the fucking sun.

Not the most dynamic or interesting Cage performance, but he’s certainly not as one dimensional as others might be. The supporting cast is where the movie really shines though, especially Duvall, McBride, Delroy Lindo and Olyphant. Thankfully the car chases make up for the shortfalls of the script.

Eu vou amar esse filme até o fim da minha vida. Eleanor é o carro mais foda da história do cinema e ninguém pode dizer o contrário!
