Seberg: Más allá del cine

Jean Seberg's real life story is full of twists and turns and things that can be applied to things happening in 2020. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't separate itself from the pack and become anything fresh or original. And it feels like you can contribute some of the fault to the directing choices made by Benedict Andrews. The film never felt as engaging as the subject matter calls for. Seberg is deserving of a movie based on her life, but this certainly wasn't it.

4.8/10

This movie was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Although Kristen Stewart's performance was good she had the room to really make the role her own. I don't think you have to see this in a big screen just wait for it on streaming platforms.

I hate that people can give film reviews or ratings on IMDB without having seen the film.

Firstly, if you don't like an actor, just don't watch the film. Don't go onto a ratings site a skew the scores.

Secondly, if you want to see a complete accurate portrayal of a biography watch the History channel.

This is based on the story of Jean Seberg and her persecution by the FBI. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is it a sanitised version of what is known? Yes.

Kristen Stewart more than held her own in this film. It didn't have a great script and the cinematography was clunky, and even though she had a pretty good supporting cast, they really didn't have much to play with. Its okay. But I wouldn't watch it again.

A young woman, a superstar in the making, returns to her homeland where foundations are all shaking, where prejudice and hate, are causing some to jar and grate, where her views are not compliant, but she's resolute, defiant. So the government machine, sets up its wires to intervene, to listen in on what she's doing, to record all those she's wooing, to disrupt, antagonise, peddling nonsense and plain lies, a conspiracy of hate, of shadow puppets who collate.

Another incredible Kristen Stewart performance, leaves you under no illusion of the government machine that sought to destroy Jean Seberg because of her affiliations and relationships with the movements and people that were no longer prepared to live in a world of racism and discrimination.

I managed to watch this on Amazon streaming movies, my wife skipped.

This movie is somewhat better than its IMDb rating might suggest, mainly because mysteriously there are about 12% "1" votes in May 2020. No way could this ever be considered that poor a movie.

Kristen Stewart is chosen to play Jean Seberg, the story is mainly from 1968 to about 1971 or 1972 when she was in her early 30s. Living in France at that time with her French family she traveled to Los Angeles and during the trip took an interest in the black civil rights movement and protests.

This got her on the FBI radar and what followed was much surveillance, recording of conversations, and eventually a concerted effort to discredit her. It is noteworthy that she died at age 40 in 1979 from "probable suicide."

The movie is well made but I have to wonder, "Why was this movie made?" Seberg was a minor star and I suspect few living today remember any of her roles. Still it is a worthwhile movie if not a stellar one.
