The Cinematic Technique of De Palma, fashioning Postcard of Distrust, Sexual Deviancy.......2005-11-17

During the last twenty-something years, Brian De Palma's films have featured themes of voyeurism and obsession, while the director himself has employed musical scores that resemble Bernard Hermann in the way they ratchet up suspense. In the service of dark, psychological thrillers, these flourishes have earned De Palma the distinction, or derision, of being an Alfred Hitchcock clone. This is an insinuation I have always felt was unfair.

Haven't we already seen what train wreck ensues when filmmakers simply ape Hitchcock's camera moves, which is what happened in Gus Van Sant's restaged "Psycho?" If that disaster proved anything, it's that cloning the technical aspects of an auteur does not alone guarantee success. The director must bring something of himself to the project; he cannot get away with simple plagiarizing.

What complicates matters is, the personal traits De Palma brings to his movies are the same ones Hitchcock brought. Both share a fear of women. They each made films featuring characters who become obsessed or paranoid. And in their heyday (the 40's and 50's for Hitchcock, the 80's for De Palma), both men pushed the boundaries of permissible violence and sexuality onscreen.

But De Palma also has a pretty strange sense of humor, which precedes his reputation even moreso than Hitchcock's did (maybe because Hitchcock's tended to be more subtle). In a movie like "Greetings," one of De Palma's earlier works, the bizarreness helps locate the film in the director's canon, despite the lack of a Hitchcock-style plot.

The movie opens with TV footage of President Lyndon B. Johnson, asking the American people during a speech, "Have you ever had it better than you do right now?" It's meant to be ironic, as the movie depicts a group of twenty-something New Yorkers who believe they are not living in the greatest era of their country's history. Paul (Jonathan Warden) worries about having to go to Vietnam; he has an interview at his neighborhood draft office coming up. His pals Lloyd (Gerrit Graham) and John (Robert De Niro, in his first credited movie performance) want to help him fail it, so they keep him awake for two straight days. That way, Paul can convince the Army psychologist he has insomnia, rendering him unfit to serve.

Lloyd, meanwhile, doesn't have to worry about being sent over to the `Nam. Any military official who spends five minutes talking to the lanky, wild-eyed JFK assassination aficionado would seek to have him committed. As for John, he seems confident he can fail the interview by convincing the recruiter of his involvement in a white-power militia group. After exhausting that plotline fairly early, John begins exploring his voyeuristic tendencies. He even starts to stalk unsuspecting women.

While the "peeper" portion may sound like familiar territory for the director, De Palma, who co-wrote the screenplay with Charles Hirsch, mostly plays that angle for laughs. John spends a lot of time following different women, but his compulsions usually lead to wacky hi-jinks, such as pretending to be an artist putting on a show called "Peepers and the Peeped." After convincing a shoplifter (Rutanya Alda) from the bookstore where he works that his faux show is for real, he brings her back to his apartment, and records footage of the woman performing what should be her pre-bed ritual.

The scene's humor derives from her horrendous acting, and the way she exaggerates her routine (Do most women wrap their stockings around their necks, then preen in front of their bedroom window...?). At the same time, the first-person perspective of the camera, representing John's p.o.v., and the sound of his voice manipulating the subject, make the sequence feel uncomfortably voyeuristic. But for the most part, De Niro, who would later achieve iconic status in "Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver" gives a solid comedic turn.

De Niro's gift, which has served him well in countless, more serious roles, is the emotional investment he can put in every scene. When he finally shows up to the recruiter's office, looking and sounding the way B.D. from "Doonesbury" would in the same situation, his façade initially seems way out there. However, De Niro's genius is not playing the situation as comedy. On the contrary, he plays this junior jingoist as seriously as George C. Scott would later undertake George Patton. He inhabits the character, and I only wish Hirsch had scripted, and De Palma had filmed, the full interview which would have followed the introduction.

Graham and Warden do good work, too, embodying the mistrust that characterized the Vietnam War era, and the confusion that accompanied sexual liberation. Lloyd is obsessed with finding out the identities of the police officers who pulled up in front of the boarding house where Lee Harvey Oswald had a room. Supposedly, the cops honked their horns twice, then drove off. What was their relationship to one of history's most famous assassins? Will the unexpected appearance of someone claiming to be the son of the boarding house owner finally break the case "wide open...?"

Paul, meanwhile, tries to find love through computer dating. His amusing vignettes (each proceeded by a psychedelically purple title card) feature women who want to use Paul-for sex without intimacy, as surrogate father, as religious inductee-without providing him with what he really wants. What is Paul looking for? Not mere sexual release, evidently. Why else would he turn down the attractive, mildly hostile Bronx secretary, who accused him of just wanting to get into her pants, but left him a trail of bread crumbs to where she lay naked in the bedroom...?

Well, one obvious reason is to let Lloyd sleep with her instead. This allows for "Greetings'" most brilliant moment of morbid lunacy: a long, single take where Lloyd, addressing the camera directly, disputes the FBI's official ballistics report detailing President John F. Kennedy's assassination wounds. As Lloyd rants on and on about the discrepencies, he uses a magic marker to plot the impact of every bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. However, Lloyd plots this information on the naked, sleeping body of the woman he just had sex with.

Naturally, drawing on a nude bedfellow becomes trickier when said figure lies on her back, which Lloyd needs access to. Lloyd addresses this problem with the confidence of someone who has done this sort of manipulating before. Whenever he needs her to lift an arm, or turn over onto her stomach so he can figure out the angle that the bullet exited out of the president, he simply plants kisses on a strategic location. The slumbering body inevitably moves, and Lloyd can continue with his work.

"Greetings" has an improvised, madcap energy, which sustains the movie while Hirsch and De Palma flail about for a plot. Indeed, the first half feels particularly aimless, like a collection of interesting montages and trick shots in search of genuine purpose. Granted, the filmmakers could have intentionally structured the movie that way, in order to reflect the lonely, listless, stuck-in-a-rut feeling that pervaded the country during the late sixties. But, in reflecting artfully on a quagmire, Hirsch and De Palma may have created their own morass, one which modern audiences may not have the patience to slog through.

Luckily, the dual appeal of De Niro and De Palma is considerable. "Greetings" gradually focuses more of its attention on John, as his penchant for falling into absurd situations make him the poster boy for his time. Perhaps De Palma was struck by the intensity De Niro brought to the peeper. Or maybe he recognized a star being born before his eyes. Cinematic history, as well as a peerless list of classic roles, certainly vindicates De Palma's decision to spend more of the film's second half following John. As for the director himself, there are moments when his sense of playfulness comes to the forefront. Take, for example, the scene where John chats up the shoplifter. As he describes "Peepers and the Peeped," the camera slowly pulls back, and a woman can be seen undressing in her ground-level apartment window. It's the perfect peepshow.

A book on Hitchcock's films appears as a prop in Paul and Lloyd's apartment. But I thought I recognized more of the influence of Antonioni, if anyone, in the montage sequences that occur during many of Paul's couplings. Meanwhile, it's fascinating to see that, back in 1968, De Palma was already proficient with cinematic sleight-of-hand. Initially, when the shoplifter performs the act which earns her her assignation, other voices distract us, and events happen so fast we can't be sure what she did. Later on, however, when John meets her on the street, he mentions what happened. De Palma then cuts to the same clip; indeed, she shoplifted that book.

Throughout his career, De Palma has enjoyed leaving clues in plain sight. Then, as the mystery unfolds, he doubles back upon them. He encourages active audiences; he used sleight of hand in "Dressed to Kill" (1980), "Mission Impossible" (1996), as recently as "Femme Fatale" (2002). Perhaps Hitchcock also did the same trick in his time. But the thing to remember is De Palma used them in a genre Hitchcock wasn't particularly known for.

A late 1960s social satire with De Palma and De Niro.......2005-03-14

"Greetings" is an offbeat satire from a very young Brian De Palma starring an equally young Robert De Niro. The vignettes focus on three friends. First there is Jon Rubin (De Niro), an aspiring filmmaker who has the idea of creating "peep art." This would consist of filming "private moments," and then letting people view them through tiny windows, thereby re-creating the Peeping Tom experience (more of this in De Palma's much better 1970 film, "Hi, Mom!"). However, if you are expecting to see an amazing performance by one of the great actors of his generation in an early film, you are going to be disappointed. De Niro comes off as overly mannered and a bit forced in his performance, especially in comparison to his two co-stars. His best moment is off-screen as he talks a woman through going to bed for his peep art (she repeatedly forgets not to talk). But he is a lot better two years later and had a decent career, at least until he started making credit card commercials.

First there is Lloyd Clay (Gerrit Graham), a conspiracy nut so obsessed with the JFK assassination that a half-naked woman sleeping in his bed is just another opportunity to show that the paths indicated by the bullet holes do not match up (unless JFK was shot while standing on his head). Lloyd shares his deep, dark thoughts directly with the viewing audience as he argues vigorously to convince us he is right. But sometimes he finds people in the real world to assault with his blow-ups from the Zapruder film that reduce the assassination to a Rorschach test. Finally, we have Paul Gerald Shaw (Jonathan Warden), who would like to find the right girl. His problem is that he has his induction physical and going to Vietnam will really hurt his love life. Fortunately, Lloyd and Jon are fully of ideas as to how Paul can get the army to reject him, everything from pretending to be gay and coming on to the sergeant (Lloyd's idea) to volunteering to shoot not only the Vietcong but also any American troops of color (Jon's brainstorm).

There is no real narrative thread here, which is hardly a criticism because "Greetings" is more of an ancestor of "The Groove Tube," "Saturday Night Live," and "Second City TV" in the history of contemporary sketch comedy with a heavy satirical bent. The difference is that what De Palma and his friends come up with in "Greetings" is more experimental guerilla theater than really polished sketch comedy. But there is something compelling about its enthusiasm, which makes us forgive the filmmaker and his actors when things go on a bit too long. De Palma has admitted to being influenced by Godard and the French "Nouvelle Vague" cinema, which inspired going out on the street and trying to improvise scenes (only they did not have enough film to improvise, so they ended up rehearsing most of the film to save money). But even in this early work, De Palma is clearly into doing everything you can do with a movie camera (inter-titles, split-screen, slow-motion, fast-motion, etc.).

"Greetings" is a historical footnote in cinematic history inasmuch as it was the first film in the U.S. to be given an "X" rating (later changed to "R," which is what it would qualify today because of some of the shots of nude women). In terms of social history "Greetings" represents some of the counter-culture politics of the late 1960s. It had been almost thirty years since I first saw "Greetings" and "Hi, Mom!" Back then they constituted part of my first real exposure to radical thought in terms of what was out there on the streets. If you see just one of these films, interested in how De Palma was cutting his teeth as a director before he made his name with "Carrie" and "Dressed to Kill," then "Hi, Mom!" is the choice (the "Black in America/Be Black Baby" bit is the must see segment of that satire). But if you are interested in De Palma's career or counter-culture comedy from the late 1960s, then check them both out.

Funny DePalma Film.......2004-12-11

This early effort by director Brian DePalma is a funny series of vignettes that touches on the various social issues of the late sixties. These issues include the Vietnam War, the Kennedy assassination, computer dating, voyeurism,etc. This is definitely a low-budget affair and the film has some ragged edges but it is done with such verve that you choose to ignore it and go with the flow. The selling point is a featured role for a young Robert DeNiro and he is fine but this is more of an ensemble affair. This film is well worth checking out.

De Niro's 2nd movie.......2002-04-25

This is a great film, made by Brian De Palma with a very young De Niro. He plays a really interesting role that shows how talented this actor was already in 1968. I recommend it for all De Niro's fans.

Very worthwhile for any Fogelberg fan!.......2007-01-28

I rediscovered Dan's music after many years of only knowing his early work. Now that I've smartened up and snarfed up about all his releases, I was glad to find this video so that I could get a better sense of what this remarkable person is like. For others in that position this video gives you excellent music and some snippets from an interview and I highly recommend it. I just hope he releases more videos of straight concert footage, with another interview as a bonus track. What wonderful moving music. Please Dan, tour again and film it!

great concert video.......2007-01-10

I really liked this concert. He covered his music up to the date of the recording, and he was excelent.

Could have been so much more.......2006-08-25

It's quite hard to pin down this one. Great music - a good selection of hit songs very well performed by a talented artist. The acoustic pieces are especially good, the performance of "Make Love Stay" is superb. Easily 5 stars for the content.

But what's up with the production? The video quality is worse than a worn-out VHS tape, the sound is barely better (and don't be fooled by the Dolby logo on the cover, the DVD has only a stereo PCM audio track). This has the potential to be a great concert DVD but the (lack of) production quality all but ruins it.

Nonetheless, I watch this quite a lot just because Dan Fogelberg is such a good artist - just seeing him play the guitar is worth it.

A minor gripe is the fact that the introduction to each song, while interesting, overlaps the actual performance. It is a little distracting in some cases, interrupting the mood. Still, the DVD is worth getting if you're willing to overlook the sub-standard video and audio quality.

Dan Fogelberg Live-Greetings from the West.......2005-09-26

I have the VCR copy of this and I purchased the DVD, hoping to have another way to watch it. However the quality of the DVD is horrible. It's like someone pirated it from the VCR copy. I could've done a better job with lesser equipment.

Great Concert, Great Performance, Poor transfer to DVD.......2004-06-29

I've had this concert on VHS for several years, and it is one of the very first great concert videos. I couldn't wait until it was on DVD, but I shouldn't have bothered. My VHS tape looks better and sounds better than the DVD. The audio CD of this concert blows away the VHS tape, so I know good audio is there--why didn't we get it on this DVD? And the video looks like a VHS dub, and not even to DVD, but maybe to another VHS tape. The video smear and blur added to the audio dullness and distortion makes for a very poor transfer to DVD. I kid you not, I did an A/B comparison of my VHS tape to this DVD, and the tape won on both audio (VHS-HiFi) and video!
On the other hand, this concert is such a great performance that if you like Dan Fogelberg, you'll still like it, even with the horrible DVD quality. His rendition of "Power of Gold" alone justifies the price of this disc, and there are many more great songs for a bonus. Forget the picture and sound quality and just enjoy the concert. I'd give 5 stars for performance and 2 for the transfer and this averages to about 3.5, so I'll round it up to a 4.

Description

Between the fall of 2001 and summer of 2003, Dishwalla went on tour to promote their 2002 release Opaline. Produced by Gregg Wattenberg (Five For Fighting) and recorded in Los Angeles, the album proved relentless on the radio airwaves with the Top 20 hit, "Somewhere In The Middle." Touring consistently for two years, the band performed 258 shows in 470 days covering both ground and air. The performances were recorded live and these moments capture the band in what athletes call "the flow state." Dishwalla was in the zone, redefining their boundaries and performing better than ever. Traveling with the Navy Morale Welfare Recreation tour in Europe and North Africa on board the USS Nimitz only fueled the intensity of their performance. This album is the result of a rock band doing what they love.

The best $10 I ever spent.......2007-08-28

I have been a hard core Dishwalla fan for years. I just discovered this DVD on Amazon and didn't hesitate to buy it. I was a little worried because of what some of the other user reviews said, but I thought "Hey, it's Dishwalla. It's still great music." I'm very happy to say that I was NOT disappointed! Ok, so you can tell the camera work wasn't done by a high quality professional and I was a little bummed that two of the songs from the CD were cut. That aside, the sound is incredible, and Dishwalla puts on a fantastic show. If you're a die hard fan and appreciate their music, you won't mind the so-so camera work. Personally, in my opinion, I actually like it. It makes you feel like you were at the show. This is one that I will for sure watch over and over again.

WHAT THE?!?!?!.......2007-05-20

I read the comments about the editing before I bought but it still didn't prepare me for how BAD the editing on it was. I swear it was edited by a junior high media class on the last day before summer break. I'd be really interested in how/why the band or their management let this one get put on the streets. Camera angles were also limited.

I love Dishwalla and I did enjoy watching this DVD and some of the special features, but for the price one should expect much much more. This DVD could have been so much better.

Nice Audio, nice extras, poor song list (2 less that the CD) and poor video, With a film director very very inexperienced.
Nice, but not what I expected.

Great band and solid live performance but who on earth edited this video, i mean really did he bother to look!

Unique Comedy.......2007-03-29

Given that this movie is nearly thirty years old, much of the content is dated. That being said, this movie is still hilarious. It all centers around Larry Hubbard played by Steve Martin, who on looking for love in NYC. The misadventures and mayhem that ensue can be gut wrenching. This film is similar in flavor to Airplane or Naked Gun. So if you like slap stick and sarcastic comedy, this flick may be a good fit.

Clever.......2007-01-27

Early Steve Martin films can be uneven, but the brilliance shines through in his understanding of human relationships.

This is a silly film. It has a number of 'throw away' gags. It als has a great love story behind all the silliness. It also helps that Steve Martin's silliness is genuinely funny.

Unfortunartly this DVD edition is not anamorphic widescreen. It is letterboxed, but the black bars are part of the picture, and the film transfer isn't very good.

Brilliant in spots, but quite uneven........2006-05-07

There were parts of this movie that were brilliant, others that were pretty good, and some that faltered a bit. Still, it addresses an aspect of life that is too often ignored in popular entertainment because it can be, well, awkward. The recent hit "The 40 year old Virgin" is a cousin of this movie, but not the same thing.

Steve Martin plays Larry Hubbard who is certainly no alpha male. He is a good enough guy and goes after the women society tells him he should pursue. This leads to him being walked over and pushed around by, in this movie, Danielle, but the name matters less than the type. As he leaves with all his belongings (he can carry them all plus the two bags of trash she asks him to take with him as she beds Raul), he ends up in a park. Warren Evans (played brilliantly by Charles Grodin) shows up with his meager belongings and asks Larry how long he has been a Lonely Guy. Larry is unaware of this term and slowly learns the pain and suffering the life of this class of persons endures unseen by most of society.

There are flashes of brilliance in this movie. My favorite is when Larry goes to a busy and upscale restaurant and asks for a table for one. The whole restaurant becomes instantly quiet and all attention is focused on him. As the captain leads him to his table a spotlight that could be used in an air raid shines on Larry all the way to his table. There are many other wonderful moments like this and I am sure you will have your own favorites.

The love story with Iris (delightfully done by Judith Ivey) is very good until they actually get together. Then things become quite awkward and artificial. In fact, the moment we learn she has had six husbands already, well, we leave wit and dive into shtick.

However, it is the relationship and insights shared between Warren and Larry that are really the heart of the movie and make it worth seeing. Grodin's Warren is the embodiment of the poor souls doomed to this existence and is an absolutely memorable character.

Good movie, but its unevenness keeps it from being great.

He's just a wild and lonely guy.......2006-02-05

While The Lonely Guy is first and foremost a comedy, one that descends into comic incredulity on a number of occasions, it really hits a few solid line drives in terms of the lonely guy angle. Steve Martin may be the star of this film, but Charles Grodin steals every scene he's in. He's the true lonely guy in this movie. Larry Hubbard, Martin's character, is really just a guy with really bad luck with women. After coming home to find his current girlfriend in bed with another man, Hubbard finds himself out on the street, struggling to get his bearings. That's where Warren Evans (Grodin) comes in. Warren really knows the ropes when it comes to loneliness, so he is more than qualified to instruct Hubbard in the art of living and being alone. Not all that much later, Larry meets up with Iris (Judith Ivey), a woman who tickles his fancy despite the fact she's been married more times than Larry has fingers on one hand, isn't all that attractive, is obviously lying through her teeth when she says she's thirty, and turns out to be something of a romantic psycho. Larry, of course, loses her phone number, beginning a whole series of misadventures serving to keep the two apart. Once he does meet up with Iris again, the world's most dysfunctional relationship begins. Iris, to grossly oversimplify things, doesn't want to be with a man she loves because she's afraid of being hurt again. All sorts of zany adventures ensue.

But what of Warren? Here's the guy I can identify with. While regular people are out having fun, Warren's playing chess with a sarcastic computer. He has life-size cut-outs of famous people all over the apartment so that it looks like someone is actually there when he throws a little party. He's a shell of a man who is never far from joining throngs of other lonely guys throwing themselves off the bridge downtown. Charles Grodin is just wonderful in this role. I must admit, though, that the two best scenes feature Martin. In one, we see him so desperate to find Iris again that he ends up going to the rooftop and shouting her name - only to be joined by lonely guys on all the nearby rooftops shouting the names of their own lost beloveds. In the other, we watch as Larry suffers the indignities of dining out alone. As he enters the restaurant, heads turn to stare as all conversation stops, and then a spotlight comes on following Larry all the way to his table. That's exactly what dining alone feels like.

The film ended up being a little sillier than I would have liked, particularly in terms of the relationship between Larry and Iris, and putting Steve Lawrence in your film is never a good thing (although we should all be thankful Edie wasn't with him), but The Lonely Guy is certainly a funny movie that should resonate with everyone who has ever been lonely (and I think that's just about every one of us).

Man, did I really need this film........2005-11-29

Thank you Steve Martin, after watching this film, I will be hanging from a light fixture.

When they originally aired this Sullivan Christmas Special on network television a few years ago, it was packed with oldie rock 'n roll clips as well as old Sullivan holiday clips. On the TV special were classic performances by Neil Diamond, the Animals, Petula Clark, Sam & Dave, etc etc. For some reason they wiped all of those great clips and left only the Christmas-oriented performances on the DVD release. On other Sullivan DVD releases, they released pretty much the same content as the TV specials. I cry FOUL on this one!!
