Black Gold: It was made by the Klimpt family richly and took them from the Ozarci to Beverly Hills in Beverly Hilbili, and still makes people billionaires today. Oil was first extracted for use in China more than 2,000 years ago, but developed in the 20th century thanks to car arrival, electrical lighting and increased demand for consumer products made of plastic. Despite concerns about climate change and innovation in pure and renewable energy, oil and gas production is still one of the largest industries in the world, with the United States producing about 13 million barrels of crude oil per day. However, despite being a moving factor behind today's society, there are still relatively few movies and TV shows. One of the latest that explores this huge theme is Taylor Sheridan's landman's "Landman", Absorbing a new show exploring the politics and dangers of the modern oil industry.

Billy Bob Thornton starred like Tommy Norris, the boy on the pitch for billionaires earning real oil money, personified in this case by Jonon Ham's CEO Monti Miller. As is typical of Sheridan, "Landman" represents the industry as a special aspect of the new US border, and the play is on the highest buttocks when it runs behind the scenes of society depending on oil and the daily difficulties of heavy men like Norris.

As well as many stories placed in the world of oil (As it is "there will be blood" And "Deepwater Horizon"), the key dramatic factors in Landman are capitalist greed and very real danger. But as the clamps proved to be as early as the 1960s, stories that include oil should not all be so dirty. Indeed, the fans of Sheridan's latest series can also be treated at an easier corner with Bill's "local hero", a British gem starring Burt Lancaster, who currently has a 100% rating of Rotten tomatoes.

Coming just two years after gold hit the box office with "Gregory's Girl", Scottish writer and director Force returned with a highest story of US executive director of oil sent to acquire a vibrant Scottish village as a place for a new oil refinery. Often compared to Elling's classic comedy "Whiskey Gallor!", "The Local Hero" has become one of the most famous films in the UK since its release in 1983. Let's take a closer look at why it holds that perfect result on rotten Tomati.

Felix Haper (Burt Lancaster) is an eccentric owner of Knox, a massive oil and gas company in Houston, Texas. He is more interested in the cosmos than his latest acquisition, but he chooses materialistic executive director Mac McBintir (Peter Rigert) to head to Scotland and buy the small coastal village of Furnas to make a way for really ugly oil refinery. Mac would rather do so over the phone, but Haper insists he goes personally to talk to his "people", despite the fact that he is not Scottish. The Haper also gives him a lateral mission to keep an eye on the sky in the Virgo's sake of any comets.

Arriving in Aberdeen, Mac is welcomed by Dani Oldsen (Peter Capaldi), a young Knox representative. During a short station in the Knox Research Laboratory, they also meet Marina (ENENEN SEGROV), a mysterious marine researcher who looks more at home in water than dry land. After Mac and Oldsen reach the village, they settle in the local bed and breakfast run by Gordon Urhart (Dennis Lawson), which is also duplicated as Mc accountant has to work to secure the deal. Only when we prepare for the classic story of fraudulent peasants who use their spirits to prevent a huge corporation intending to destroy their home, the "local hero" goes in another direction. Hardy locals are literally dancing in the prospects for sale, fantasizing about what they will do with their cuts. However, there is one obstacle that blocks the contract - Ben Knox (Fulton McKay), an attractive old beach, which is going to own the whole beach connecting the village to the sea. Meanwhile, Danny falls on Marina, and things are happening in the sky with meteor shower and northern lights, much to the pleasure of Haper in Texas.

The eventual outcome of the "local hero" is unlikely to come as no surprise, but he was gently undermining our expectations at every step of the road. It's a movie where there are no bad guys, and the meandering plot and much of the humor develop organic from the characters. All this plays so winner with start -up performances from the whole team, not only is Rigert's backward and legend of Lancaster, who sprinkles a little magical dust over the film every time he is on the screen.

Bill Forcit was born in Glasgow, and the "local hero" is filled with awaken Scottish humor, a warning about the foils of human behavior and well -intentioned in the ironic slowdown. There are clear parallels with Brigadun, as Furnas comes out of the fog and gradually admires the American city resident; The film is similarly captivated by its brazen whim and the touches of magical realism, from the unusual routines of the peasants to the presence of a woman who can be a mermaid in real life.

I didn't really get a "local hero" when I first saw him as a teenager, maybe because he was too subtle for me then. However, I was overcome by emotions of the recent clock, without being able to point out exactly why; Similar to Rigert's soft, I was gradually and absolutely conquered his allure. We can assume from the very beginning he will find himself in Scotland, and the heart of the film is how he is gently wrapped in the rural life and the miracles of nature, fascinated by the tiny creatures that are grassing in the tide and the meteor showers that shake the night sky. It is a wonderful film, with Chris Menges cinematography catching the splendor of the Scottish coastline, without resorting to the treatment of postcards with corner pictures. Also, I cannot welcome how much Mark Nopfler's outcome contributes to the atmosphere, gradually introducing into the anthem of a joyful longing.

The "Local Hero" manages to carry his environmental message in an ordinary way that is never encountered as preaching. Forcit's script employs satirical elements, such as Farcical Board Meetings and a comically transformed model of the village in the villain research facility, but the stakes of the potential destruction of Furnas for profit are deeper in the attractive awakening of Mac.

The cherry at the top is Burt Lancaster like Felix Haper. The Hollywood idol came to the end of his career lasted more than 40 years and Nine perfect movies (according to rotten tomatoes)But he was rarely more beautiful than he was here. On paper, Haper is a pretty miraculous character, more tycoon's Soutsayer, but Lancaster plays it directly with the written air of a person who may feel something wonderful, it should happen. What, of course, it is; The "Local Hero" is a small but finely detailed film that hits a miraculous balance between feeling and melancholy.
