Let's go visit Cop Land!

Embedded in a culture

Ray Liotta died on May 26, 2022. I wasn’t a particular fan of his, but he was definitely an actor who was a significant part of the culture I grew up in. There are many such people; actors of course, and also authors, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists, politicians, military leaders, activists, and others less classifiable.

It’s one thing to think: That huge band that I love, which I’ve seen in concert… they’ve retired and hung up the act. Just knowing the people are still around however, means that something of, whatever it was that I loved, continues on in whatever it is, (public or not,) that they’re doing. Nostalgia rises up as people retire and things become, “remember when?”

But slowly, year by year, those people die and that makes it clear: Everything has its time, and that time ends. There but for the grace of God go I, is a beautiful turn of phrase.

Nach wenigen Minuten ist klar, dass hier rein gar nichts zufällig ist. Das alles wirkt zwar zuerst wie ein klassischer „Leute sitzen irgendwo fest und werden der Reihe nach umgebracht“-Thriller, aber James Mangold hatte offensichtlich viel mehr im Sinn als bloße Genremechanik. Sein Film spielt mit Wahrnehmung, mit Erwartung, mit der Lust am Sortieren von Mustern. Und ja, das alles ist genauso clever, wie es sich anfühlt. Mit John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet und Alfred Molina. (3Sat, Wh.)
