So ‘‘Green’’, so Intraterrestrial…
The odd life of Timothy Green
The odd life of Timothy Green
Is there any space for an “intraterrestrial” being in our lives? Timothy
Green is the pure natural project. He is a unique child because his
birth comes from the ground. Actually, he comes to life after his
parents’ strong will to obtain a child despite the huge difficulties
they meet to adopt one. So, Peter Hedges gives his strong
metaphysical answer to the social and physical conditions that make
couples abstain from their role in a family and as a result, they become
excluded from the experience they could possibly live.
But, how about the way the film develops itself? It is clear that Hedges
has incorporated cultural, philosophical and social principles that
approach the current and hot issue in relation to the family reality.
Raising a child turns to be a basic matter from the standpoint that
parents have to deal with diverse problems, mostly regarding stereotypes
and the way parents should learn -but not just teach- their children
how to build their own character without being exposed to fake patterns
of life, where the origins of stereotypes have to be found.
However, the film The odd life of Timothy Green released by
Disney, looks like a mature proposal for families with children just two
months before Christmas. Trying to depict how extraordinarily dramatic
life is, the film seeks to commemorate the moment itself in terms of
life evanescence and temporality parallelized to that of nature. In
short, the point is clear. We have to look for the substance in everyday
moment. There joy seems to be. In a conclusion, there are a lot of
remarkable moments such as the similarity between leaves and tears, or
even the inventiveness of Timothy regarding a new pencil made by leaves
but finally the film lacks in giving the spectator a more cohesive and
at the same time political message. Saying so, the film construction
partially leads to a somehow romantic stagnation in which ideas and
opinions shape the content but cannot make interesting art, that is,
challenge the existing forms and structures. Sound effects could lead to
such a venture. But for Disney, it is ok. Not all right but o.k.
