Synopsis

Watch: The Ballad of Jack and Rose 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – 1986. Jack Slavin, an engineer by trade, and his mid-teen daughter Rose Slavin live in virtual isolation on what was once a commune that Jack and a group of others built in 1968 on sparsely populated Marsh Island off the U.S. east coast. Rose’s mother abandoned them when Rose was five. Jack has passed to Rose a sense of ecological preservation, placing them at odds with Marty Rance, who is building a housing complex on the island on a wetlands. They are able to live this life on the commune property in their ecological bliss due to a sizable inheritance, Jack who will occasionally take out his checkbook in order to solve whatever problem he may be facing. Jack also took Rose out of school when she was eleven as he didn’t believe in what the traditional school system was teaching. Their quiet life together is threatened by the fact that Jack has a heart condition which will probably kill him sooner than later. Wanting to ensure that Rose is taken care of after his passing, Jack makes the unilateral decision to ask Kathleen, a woman who he has been dating for four months, to move in, along with her two mismatched sons, half-brothers Rodney and Thaddius who don’t much like each other. Jack tries to pass Kathleen and her sons to Rose as “an experiment” and the three of them solely as “guests”, rather than the reality of them truly moving in. Kathleen, who had never met Rose before, agreed in her savior complex and in truly loving Jack, knowing fully the reasons for he asking her. These changes deeply affect Rose, who has had Jack all to herself for the better part of her life – she who threatens to commit suicide after Jack dies – and comes at a key point in her own life as she is just starting to explore her sexuality..
Plot: Jack Slavin is an environmentalist with a heart condition who lives with his daughter, Rose, on an isolated island. While Jack fights against developers who wish to build in the area, he also craves more contact with other people. When he invites his girlfriend, Kathleen, and her sons, Rodney and Thaddius, to move in, Rose is upset. The complicated family dynamics makes things difficult for everyone in the house.

A powerful and affecting film.
This is a powerful and affecting film. I have a few quibbles about Ms. Miller’s use of the camera and her editing, especially in the beginning as there were too many jerky cuts/unnecessary camera movements which were quite distracting. Thankfully they diminished as the film progressed.

Camilla Belle’s as Rose performance was surprisingly nuanced and rich for such a young actress, she didn’t have one false note and was totally believable as this “feral,” innocent, yet disturbed teen. All the supporting actors were excellent, the characterizations and dialogue engaging and true and the emotional unraveling harrowing.

Day-Lewis’ performance as Jack Slavin was outstanding. It hits you with such power that it left me flattened. While the credits ran I had to close my gaping jaw, peel myself off the movie chair and stumble up the aisle trying to absorb it all. Moment by moment he communicated paragraphs of information about Jack’s multi-layered internal complexities with complete mastery and subtlety. The man’s our finest film actor, period.

This movie has an original voice, it doesn’t pander and despite some visual clichés, it follows its own unique internal logic. Definitely worth seeing, especially for the performances of Day-Lewis and Camilla Belle.

It’s always been my philosophy that films aren’t required to carry a message. A film simply needs to tell a story. A film is good when it can tell a good story and tell it like it needs to be told. This is why films like Kill Bill can be rated on the same scale as such meaningful dramas as Finding Neverland and Ray. It’s all about the story. But The Ballad of Jack and Rose seems to struggle with this concept. Director/writer Rebecca Miller seems to want to make her film more about her characters and not about a message on the state of society, but constantly wanders into didactic realms that leave her audience muddled and confused. She creates a myriad of stereotypic characters that all stand for different morals, but in the end, doesn’t really tell us what she herself stands for. Instead of sticking to characters and story, she heavy handedly throws dozens of different messages at us that all contradict the last. We’re left walking out of the theatre wondering what Rebecca Miller wants us to believe, but really not caring enough to decipher her message.

The film focuses on a single father and his peculiar relationship with his daughter Rose (Camilla Belle). The father, Jack (Daniel Day-Lewis) lives on an island off the east coast of the United States on land that he set up in the seventies as a collective society for people who wanted to escape from the materialistic ways of a capitalist country. The land comes complete with a room dedicated entirely to tripping acid. He’s raised his daughter in complete isolation of the world, determined to make her different from the rest of the cookie-cutter children from America’s suburbs. But disease has gotten the best of him and he’s now faced with finding a guardian for Rose before his death. So he brings in Kathleen (Catherine Keener) and her boys, Thaddius (Paul Dano) and Rodney (Ryan McDonald), to live in the house and act as Rose’s mother when he’s passed. Of course, a culture clash occurs between Rose and the newcomers, with jealousy and sexual awakenings at every turn of the reel. Rose is as innocent and wide-eyed as a three-year old, but eager to get back at her dad for bringing the world to their doorstep. It carries on like this for nearly two hours, pulling out as many independent film clichés as possible, with biblical references, shaky cameras, and “realistic” drama littering the film and ratcheting it a few notches down in intelligence.

But its obvious Rebecca Miller had a vision for her movie. Some of her characters, Jack in particular, are truly inspired. And the camera work is sometimes beautiful, especially in the beginning. But too many times can we see how Miller uses her characters simply as puppets for her message. For instance, Kathleen’s the white trash mother who raises Thaddius, the perverted teenager who belongs in jail. And Rodney’s the nice boy who’s been raised on the television and struggles with his weight, being the plague of America these days. Jack’s the hippy father who contradicts the American dream every chance he gets, and his daughter represents Eve or the Virgin Mary whose innocence eventually gets the best of her.

The characters just don’t hold any weight. They stumble around all trying to prove a point that Rebecca Miller fails at interpreting to the audience. And sometimes it seems that she wants to ditch the moral and focus on the characters; but The Ballad of Jack and Rose is much too heavy-handed to not carry a message. You see, I’m frankly confused by this film. I walked out of theatre not sure what Miller wanted me to believe. She made dozens of points in the final act, but each one contradicted the last, making her film into an incoherent mess. This would all be excusable though if she had managed to tell the story of Jack and Rose skillfully. But, alas, she doesn’t. Sticking to her moral guns, Miller ruins her Ballad with “indie” clichés and half-assed messages on society, making her film less of a song and more of a groan.
