Dancing is life and Jake is not a man of great cries. Two phrases that bailam the front pages of 22/11/63 , the novel in which Stephen King launches in the rabbit hole in search of what might have been the world’s murder President John F. Kennedy was avoided. On the evening of Monday, more dance partners join King in 11/22/63 , version series: James Franco as protagonist and JJ Abrams as executive producer, still the glow of success of one of the most profitable movies ever at the box office. But that was 2015, and now it’s 2016. Or 1960?
Based on the long novel King about time travel, love, politics, America and the pitfalls of this fiction genre, 11/22/63 is the arrival to the audiovisual a page-turner published in 2014 by Bertrand in Portugal. And it is the umpteenth adaptation of a writer’s work, prolific master of Thriller , horror or suspense, film or television. Carrie Stand by Me through Under the Dome or The Shining , King has seen his work pass to other hands, not always to their liking (it’s historic your dissension with Kubrick on Shining ). In the case of meticulous 11/22/63 , the 2011 book came to be in the hands of Jonathan Demme, but he and King failed to agree on the adjustment and entered into JJ Abrams scene. The director of Star Wars VII and Star Trek even composed the generic music with King of praise, satisfied with the final work of the series.
Dancing is the daily life of a teacher of the era of mobile phones while waiting for the moment sixties in trying to avoid death one of the most emblematic heads of state in the world. Stephen King have waited nearly 40 years to revive a project that was abandoned in the 1970s for being too ambitious task. As a note the criticism of New York Times Janet Maslin, the purpose of 22/11/63 , “King’s books have a real-world component much stronger than they used to, even when you are dealing with assumptions grounded in “science fiction. And there is more real elements in American history than the listed Jake Epping, the protagonist James Franco, when it is suggested to change the course of history – Sept. 11, Bush’s victory over Gore in 2000 to attempted murder failed Hitler in 1944 … But it’s November 22, 1963, the date that America does not forget the choice.
the day that “a small lonely man”, as he writes Norman Mailer, cited by King’s work, “brought down a giant.” The day of the death of John F. Kennedy, one timeframe, the “moment of water separation” by definition to Al Templeton – the character Chris Cooper, the owner of a restaurant in Lisbon Falls who harbors a portal to another time. It is he who convinces Jake to try to change the past, entertaining over eight episodes to strum the strings of reality and time but also simply to live embeded in 1960 (in the book, the character lands in 1958), dancing lindy hop , to teach students friendly between domestic violence and the smell of fresh mowed grass.
the American criticism was not entirely rendered, dividing between praise and repairs to the pace and development of the characters – and the loss of some elements (such as the fictional-fétiche city of King, Derry) of the book. But the first episode, the two hours that Fox broadcasts on Monday, are the most praise receive. And if this is a series that Fox deploys on schedule left vacant by one of its successes, The Walking Dead , also has the weight of responsibility of contraprogramação (the zombies continue with Fear the Walking Dead on the AMC channel, which also debuts this Monday). Speaking of time, 22/11/63 is also a special presence in the Portuguese audiovisual landscape to be a unique Hulu, a service streaming Netflix competitor that has no presence in Portugal.
“what if?” is a question of fiction that has gained attention in recent years, of 22/11/63 , or “what if John F. Kennedy had not been murdered? “ the Man in the High Castle , or” and if Japan and Germany had won World War II? “by Philip K. Dick vision made in series (quite altered) by Ridley Scott to Amazon. “For me, it’s like all the stories begin,” the purpose responsible for the development of the series, Bridget Carpenter, the Guardian attracted by the “domino effect” that the question throws. Paradoxes, consequences, but at one point “time travel is no longer the story,” said Carpenter ( Friday Night Lights , Parenthood ) to Los Angeles Times . “It is important at the beginning and is important in the end.” In the middle, it is history. And in this story one thing is certain – the past gives fight
