Wonderful Performance By Bill Murray
I don’t get all the negativity directed at this film. I thought it was charming and witty. History is rarely so much fun.The story is simple enough. On the eve of World War II King George VI and his wife journey to the US to see President Roosevelt at his family’s Hyde Park retreat hoping to secure American support against Nazi Germany. The FDR we see here isn’t the Great Depression/war leader he’s a weary man battling polio and trying to find solace in relationships with a distant cousin among others.
Bill Murray gives an amazing performance humanizing the 32nd president an avid stamp collector who during this period when another European war appeared inevitable was more likely to find himself seeking peaceful coexistence between his dominating mother and estranged wife, Eleanor. Laura Linney is Margaret Suckley an unassuming, humble cousin who becomes a regular visitor to the retreat at the time of the royal visit. Samuel West and Olivia Colman are a convincing King and Queen making the first visit in history to the US by a British monarch. I found “Hyde Park On the Hudson” a delightful little film and the 95 minutes flew by leaving me wishing for more.
government must pick up the slack
Roger Michell’s “Hyde Park on Hudson” focuses on an affair between Franklin Roosevelt and his sixth cousin while the British monarchs were visiting. However, it brings up some other things. One scene shows FDR noting that when the private sector can’t stimulate the economy, the government has to pick up the slack. His Keynesian policies got the US out of the Great Depression, and yet few politicians champion Keynesianism today. But even more important is Eleanor Roosevelt. She’s basically a tertiary character in this movie. Her unwavering activism throughout her entire life should earn her a movie.But anyway it’s a pretty fun movie. A lot of the humor derives from the attempts by both sides to avoid any kind of faux pas (even though some arise). As with a few of his other recent roles, Bill Murray’s serious performance here makes it easy to forget that he was once a “Saturday Night Live” cast member and then starred in lovably silly flicks like “Caddyshack” and “Ghostbusters”. Worth seeing.
