DVD Reviews of Tank
DVD Review: I've taken sides with Neil Young
Summary: 1 Stars
And if Lynyrd Skynyrd was to write a response song to this review I encourage them. To me this movie was alright when I first saw it when I was 17 years old, but now as an adult I feel that the movie would make me puke. I find it rather nauseating. I feel that the sherrif in this movie is a demon, and I run from demons. He's all dressed up in white, and he tries to act super holy in public that I've given him the name "Lilliwhite". However, don't let that fool you; he's pure evil as he tries to bully not only his deputy, but a young prostitute as well, and in turn the deputy bullies the prostitute. Lilliwhite feels he can do no wrong, and unfortunately I feel that this could be the wrong image of the southern man. If I'm right then I can gripe all I want, but if I'm wrong then by all means let's do it as it's mentioned in Isaiah 1:18: "Come and let us reason together." Because this is the way southern men have been portrayed to me where the father tries to act like he's God, and he bullies his sons to break, and rape thier souls, and if he(The Father) does anything wrong it's pencilled away with a "Do as I say...not as I do", or a "Let that be a lesson to you"; instead of portraying himself as a humble man he justifies his actions his motives. I feel that's no way for a father to act whether he's from the north, south, east, or west. This isn't right, and unfortuantely, the deputy only did what he learned from Lilliwhite the father figure. Anyway this is not all bad a movie because if it were it would've gotten a minus 2 star rating from me. There are some tender moments with James Garner's character, and his son as his father tries to spring him from a prison work camp where he was sentenced on a trumped up charge for marijuana possession. You see there's a difference here between 2 fathers. Garner's character owned up to not only meeting with the young prostitute, but also for decking the deputy for slapping her around in the first place, and then you have Lilliwhite who after he lost the major tug of war on a mudpile, and was arrested for corruption all he could do was slam his deputy's face into the mud. As I said this is the personification of the southern man, and how he raises his sons that he breaks thier spirit and rapes thier souls through mental, emotional, and many a time physical abuse, and that father can do no wrong for he is the only figure of God that the kids have, and so the sons grow up, and do the same thing that thier fathers did to them, and to me as I said that's not right, so that's why I gave the movie such a low rate. It's just too much to see without getting ticked off. As I said if there are any Southern men out there who want to rebuke this "Come and let us reason together."
Description of Tank
Zack is a master sargent assigned to his last post before leaving the service. He is a colorful character and even on has his own wwii vintage tank that is used for parades and such. After he stops a deputy from beating a call girl he finds that he is a marked man in town. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 12/28/2004 Starring: James Garner James Cromwell Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Marvin J. ChomskyThis enjoyable nonsense stars James Garner as a career military man (and private owner of a Sherman tank) who ends up on the wrong side of a redneck sheriff (G.D. Spradlin) by interfering in a bullying deputy's treatment of a prostitute. The corrupt lawman gets his revenge by arresting Garner's teenage son (C. Thomas Howell) on a phony drug charge and locking him away on a brutal prison farm. After taking some lumps there, the poor kid's dad decides to haul out his prized tank and do a little rearranging of the terrain. While the plot sounds like some antiauthority potboiler from the early '70s and the characters are all stick figures, Garner's golden warmth gives this movie some nice dimension. Directed by Marvin J. Chomsky (Victory at Entebbe). --Tom Keogh
