Majestic, The

 

USA 2001, 146 minutes
Dir. Frank Darabont
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

Topics: Period 1950s.

 

Aroview: Jim Carrey chose the wrong horse on which to saddle his dramatic aspirations with this “Capra-esque” tale of a blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter in the 1950s, who suffers amnesia after an accident and is mistaken for a returned soldier by a sodapop small town. Massively long-winded, heavy-handed, derivative, predictable, and deluged in sentiment, and with political pretentions, it bangs on about the irony of the McCarthy-era witch-hunts contravening the Constitution etc., and even has the gall to satirise Hollywood producers that meddle with a writer’s vision. Where were those goons when you needed them for this turkey? Diehard American patriots need only apply.
