![]() The “twist” in Passengers is revealed toward the end of this paragraph: The Chris Pratt ( The Magnificent Seven, Jurassic World) character, who is called Jim, is accidentally awakened from hibernation on the colony starship Avalon thanks to a computer glitch. The problem at the heart of Passengers gets even worse when you delve into the details, which are appalling. This is your last warning: look away now if you do not want to know pretty much everything of importance that happens in Passengers. But even the movie’s other flaws all serve the fundamental problem with Passengers, which is that after offering a few quick nods to the profoundly unethical act at its core, it dismisses all objections to it, shrugs it off, and turns it into a fairy tale.Īnd it’s all even worse than it sounds when you delve into the details. There are other issues with the film, such as the contrivances of its science-fictional concepts, which really are contrivances: when you’re inventing the science your story runs on, its quirks are not accidents but deliberate acts to twist the story in a way that need not automatically be (as would not be the case if, say, your story featured actual existing technology). It is a crime of the worst kind, committed with malice aforethought. The movie tries to frame it as a conundrum, but it is nothing of the sort: it is an instance of willful cruelty that is given great consideration before it is undertaken anyway. “When I said wear a suit to dinner, that’s not quite what I had in mind…”įirst, a spoiler-free nutshell: At the heart of this story is an act of wanton moral depravity. Shhh! Nobody tell the secret of Passengers! Don’t ruin it for everyone else! Don’t talk about The Thing! It’s almost like They knew there was a big, major, YUGE problem with their damn movie - probably only unconsciously, though - and arranged things this way. They - the big They, the They who make the things we’re supposed to just accept as Entertainment and All In Good Fun - they made it so that it’s impossible to talk about this movie in any meaningful way unless you spoil it, and we - the big We, we critics, we serious film fans - are not supposed to do that.

She plays a 16-year-old convent girl, and she was 30!” he said. The released portion was called Queen Kelly, and Jacquet raved about Swanson’s performance. Swanson was on his mind because Erich von Stroheim, the Austrian actor-director who had played the role of Max, Norma Desmond’s butler and former husband in Sunset Boulevard, had just released a small part of a sprawling, unfinished film he directed in 1928 called The Swamp, which starred Swanson. Degas was a regular part of my circle of friends. In 1959 I gave up on academia and returned to New York, where I spent most of the next decade working on two encyclopedias published by Grolier. After that I spent a year in Paris on a French Government Scholarship and a semester at the Princeton Graduate School. ![]() I had left New York the year before Degas arrived to get an MFA at the writers’ workshop at the University of Iowa. We had two mutual friends, both former Princeton classmates of mine: Chiz Schultz, a producer at CBS, where Degas worked, and Art McCormack, an account executive at McCann (then called McCann Erickson), with whom Degas shared an apartment for several years. Smart, likable, and very handsome, he had arrived in New York from Argentina in 1956.
