SFX LIE A small review
X Files - Regeneration (The X Files - I Want To Believe) (I spoiler on the whole film)
The film does not talk about government conspiracy or alien, and anyone who has seen the show a little wider than the image we have of them knows very well that the majority of episodes consists of a mosaic of Non-classified (the X files in question) questions properly combining supernatural and a packet of genetic aberrations.
Regeneration is in this part of the series, which is causing even more now that the stories of the man with the cigarette and his cronies, starting from this premise, complaining of not finding what made the legend (for that kind of thing we talk about mythology, to scale) public series is either a freak of a fan unhappy not to pursue what he said was the essence of the series (to disappoint all alone imagining things that nobody really promised), as a conclusion to his hopes of rickety steps (and he still hopes as a third and final film released in 2012, the day of the end of the world), that it would like to see replace last few seasons heavy, sagging under their own extensions to the sprawling vomiting, an idiocy that has never looked anything other than or eight episodes (say
Tunguska and
Anasazi, or
Tempus Fugit EBE) and speaks with a background that does not know. From here, what do we do? it is doing already to have no opening credits (left to assume the viewer that the cold open
usual lasts twenty minutes before he meets do not know if it will still in the list of
names such as William B. Davis Nicholas Lea (why not? you never know, in short), or even more simply Mitch Pileggi) and limit the legendary jingle into six grades in three appearances, one at the beginning, brand presence, a final (end loop) and one for a comic effect completely released from the series.
What we want to see is simple: Mulder and Scully.
We begin in the snow, not knowing what is happening: two ideas mirrored, one early night and one morning, one in place almost closed and another opened, one at two or three and the other as it unclear whether the effect is interesting. Editing is a bit cumbersome, from a point to another as accelerating to set the heartbeats of the victim on the research full of cold, the viewer too. The mystery does not come even the killing but the way we discover the body, a body, even a single member that does not match that disappeared. A priest helps the FBI (a former pedophile indeed, disturbed by his instincts to the point of having castrated), it is unclear what binds him to the mystery. Ultimately, who cares, it serves to integrate the "legendary" Mulder & Scully on a mysterious track, while the best advantage of this character is that Scully is once again facing what some claim to be part of his religion (we will not see, I believe, the famous pendant (either the original or a similar one) symbolizing faith, hope pragmatic and touching, but we know that Scully is linked to Christianity and if we do not know, the puppeteers are doing to show its character as a doctor in a hospital religious (she served as physician legal throughout the series, doctor short when it suited (although I remember an episode seen in the day she stopped practicing), FBI agent in most cases and at least once we saw a place near the squad and has written his thesis on the twin paradox of Einstein, I was always surprised that it is sometimes like a Swiss Army Knife)), he confronts the limits of man, his beliefs and his report to the other, at least two distinct levels (the priest signs the limits of acceptability on the one hand and yet the truth is key, putting it in the impasse that a rapist and a rape may be a consequence positive, we hasten to return to the center and in the billions of course negative).
From here (also again), what does one winks? prima facie the wink is not on the mythology of the series, so we care about the ass, they are no longer used much for the average fan (the one thing that recalls an episode with Leonard * Betts, what can you do? nothing, right? it is hard to do something that serves really, it will only serve to satisfy nothing more than a glimpse of who had a hard to start another something that his company reporting time) we consider himself just happy to see how staging plays with the introduction of character scenes, keeping the idiocy voluntary and suspense which is basic to see a man or woman's hand or simply back, to find that a little later that this is HIM (oh ah) or she (oh oh!) (exercise becomes a ridiculous assumed to Indeed almost comical when it happens a third time Skinner). Here, unlike the delay is applied to compress the excitement: we know that Mulder is the man returned, and from the other side of the camera is delayed the appearance of his face. So it is finally happy as a kid, to see the iconic poster of Mulder is still plastered on a wall. Same thing, more or less, for the photo of Samantha or whoever happens to perhaps read the newspaper clippings on the side. Perplexed when on a bed behind a book of Dori Carter (apparently the wife of Chris) entitled "Beautiful wasps having sex" (although I suppose the wasps in question are those we learned in third or something in the genre, the famous white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, what we can, being very generous estimate that Mulder and Scully, the wasp is a recurring motif in the series, unless the bees are ... finally).
In fact, what we wanted to see was how to say ...? Mulder and Scully, yes, if possible with the coating of fine dialogues and mystique, relationships developed over years (It becomes difficult to get to the screen in one or two hours, to summarize, expand and contract), combination of clothes and function more or less sexual tension palpable, that was then and now at least see how it works, how after that time they have changed and to what extent they have remained static. Hic or not, their paths in the series were based on a professional basis to build on the rest of their lives, become here, as the years go by, closer physically, this may be why professional relationship is broken, consisting for the most of things widely different for both, even withdraw from the role (Scully, dressed as Doctor, is not the Scully character, even if another type of garment, another already in the uniform-series The mere fact of seeing plainclothes created unease funny as it was embodied as an agent and may be stuck in a holding unit: now the uniform has changed, its reality returns with the investigation), and gradually resuming cohesion impossible to view: the wavelengths again become common, but the duo is currently impossible, for one reason or another, to meet. The end sign is a kind of return to normal business, the survey completed a couple more or less victorious, at the same time restoring luster to the couple in a personal perspective (actually, apart from some hints that some may look to contradict, it is unclear how the couple lives as if it was not necessary and that the idea that they are proved by the rest, for their reaction). It may remain silent before a few lines: the horror that they were facing daily in their former profession as a supposed still alive (hate doctor's fundamentally incapable of achieving what he committed the one hand, rehashing the unlikely event of a faith which one is almost silent on both the purpose and reason for the other (I am still shocked not Scully's reply on 37 children choir, but his answer on Mulder's sister, after a few minutes of film, we already forgotten that she was leitmotif actions Mulder in the series and continued to obsess him a case in point arm's could actually or symbolically linked (for those who can see the episode Paper Heart s, although by his punctuality is perhaps not a relevant example)), both continuing to speak and before resuming their expression through the story of pedophile priest and body disappeared for no apparent reason) and can not (I put several levels at once is a bit questionable but never mind) 's extract in a final medley, a last dance as a couple what this film. Thus, those who stay during / after the credits will show next to the final dialog, an output extraction become the world into a horrific withdrawal as required to be happy and schematic. After all there was, what else does he believe, to want to believe?
Oh, the scenario is not even bad. Treatment, he, is a bit wobbly: almost one wonders whether it was necessary to incorporate two new FBI agents one of which will disappear without being miserable really did not know anything about her (while its mid-placement Mid-admiring perplexed Mulder might augur something interesting if the film had gone in another direction) and the other serves as a pragmatic consideration so soft you do not really know if it is satisfied itself ( this image is perhaps her closest the film), or whether it would have been better to sum it all of a sudden phones and other physically absent. You wonder other things, whether the good idea to separate Mulder and Scully (on) a good part of the film is actually on the screen, a good idea: the climax would have been the final reunion was not so intense as that and more generally, well the couple works just as a couple (with some exceptions: if you can go see the episode The sheriff has long teeth ), yo-yo-binding geographical relationship fails to appropriate tensions. We can also congratulate the people who made that any part of the film (which gives the subtitle French Film: Regeneration ) actually in the background, never really shows or explained other than by vague reports that Scully did, what would have been a significant bonus if the rest of the film was better led, or otherwise focus again (notice the blank) . And indeed, in this context, a film from the basics of conspiracy and alien could, if not erase things strange and / or improvable probably at least make them more back in the head that look (should we then Chris Carter to be sincere and to dump the government plot to give us a renewed relationship skeleton Mulder / Scully?) (if you can really have, this rehash of conspiracy, we will not complain either, eh, the movie is not perfect but tries his point, and could announce an appropriate mix for 2012), and rather than both used as a pretext for a rehash of conspiracy is the regeneration who hardly seen in about paranormal, it invades the feeling by the latest incarnation of a broader entity of which only the two characters have always emerged monuments as unbreakable.
* Leonard Betts, although it has been chosen at random, is a character whose activity may actually be closer that of the film, even if from afar.
