Choice of Alan J. Pakula 's Sophie (1982), novel by William Styron in the aftermath of the Holocaust-evil, to give us the incarnation of the most memorable films of survivor guilt. If Meryl Streep had been engraved on the performance does not change the Tortured this film a Polish woman, who can not forgive himself continues to live in while witnessing such a painful death, would have ensured his place in film history. Sophie has to make many choices - not between life and death, but between death and, even worse, death. The story, despite the prominent position, it is not Sophie's Choice of what to give him strength. It's tragic heroine, Streep is tearing our hearts, because he lives, and to relive the pain, he never could shake off a long time. He throws himself into a desperate, fleeting breakouts by sex and to drink, turns to her lover American jew, Nathan (Kevin Kline), a damaged in different ways. Life, intoxicating as it can get during these brief interludes heady, do not correspond to death.
Sophie is a tragedy that he sees no way that was heroic, and it is. It looks like a failure. Streep in the pale, delicate features become a geography of human torment. His immersion in the character of Sophie includes a Polish language immersion - not just identity theft but internalization. She spoke of connecting with their own internal guttural sounds. So it's not just a matter of getting the perfect sound - despite its flaws, with a strong English accent is pitch perfect. It also tries to kill your gut an original depth of sound that contributes to the innate earthly Sophia, liveliness, integrity is not always able to escape being swallowed by an undertow of sadness.
Much of what she says is her eyes, sometimes sincere, sometimes breaking the gaze of his friend and confessor, Peter MacNicol the figure of the observer carrying the young Styron, Stingo. It literally gives the film much of his voice as narrator and innocent newbie who has just tailed Brooklyn in 1947 to become a novelist, playing in the footsteps of Thomas Wolfe and, inevitably, in its literary style Faulkner. Structurally, it is necessary. It is he who hears the secrets of Sofia, the hidden parts of his past that can not reveal to Nathan - including an end of a soul destroying. Not that Styron - or Pakula - South offers the best writer of anything. In the romantic ardor of the characters and the language talent no doubt. But it's a little, a blank slate, without form, with the personality of sushi. Pakula, Polish Jewish ancestry, said that if his father had not come to America, your family may have died in Auschwitz.
