“Invention” Probes the American Mind in the Post-Truth Era

Whether the film is a documentary or fictional drama, all modern cinema is somewhat, because most viewers know that the documentary is carefully made to produce a narration and that making a fictional movie is often a good story like a story in the scenario. In the new imagination, “Invention”, directed by Courtney Stevens and starring Cali Hernandez-who is shared by credit “by” with Stephen, which provides his family’s actual history of the movie-traditional and interfering with the periodic impact. However, this distinctive form is only one side of the film. The “invention” proves that no less than a report on the American mental state-on the inability of the epidemic to distinguish between truth and imagination.

Kali Hernandez plays a personal role called Carrie Fernandez, who is traveling to Berksires, in the west of Massachusetts, to demand the late father, John, a doctor who has long participated in alternative medicine. She meets with the professional port of its property (James N. Kenitz Wilkins), who tells her that her father left many unpaid debts and an intertwined legal network (including accounts and business entities under multiple names), and also left his patent in the electromagnetic medical system, which is apparently attended (if it is well defined) for that. After that, she toured the attic of her father’s house, finds the same tools – a cylindrical group of almost colored glass tubes the size of the table lamp and topped with a magnetic file – and decided to investigate.

Curry’s investigation to business and homes take her from different people whose names appeared in her father’s papers. Some are investors, like his friend Tony (Tony Tourne), who owns an old store, and Henry (Caveh Zahedi), which is a trial wheel wheels that he tried to connect to adventure capital; There is also a Joe Swanberg store owner who had a hardware manufacturing contract. Carrie already knew that her father was self -absorbent and irresponsible. Now you learn that he was wonderful – a local known as Dr. J. – Also, depending on who you talk to, convincing, secret, madness, and misleading. She meets with a woman named Babi (Lucy Kaminski), who caused Dr. J in relation to the leader of worship, divides his device, and believes, among other things, that England owns the United States, that the “quantum banking system” will split money in all accounts, and that Cary’s father was “out.” Another friend of Abu Carey, the watchmaker called Paul (Paul Cleanan) working in the Tony Store, deceived global domination by the higher Freemasonry, believes that the world’s common energy centers are armed – the “lost penis in Osiris” – and it is believed that the life of the late electromagnetic doctor. “Electricity in the body.” “Even Walt Witman was concerned about electricity.” (When Carrie tries the device itself, it gives it colorful narcotic visions.)

In short, Carey enters deep water very quickly. However, as it turned out, the water was deep even before you realized it, as soon as it goes on in her father’s neighborhood – the movie was filmed in Great Barington, Massachusetts – and was immersed in its distinctive social environment. Her father’s house, who rented her using investor money, is luxurious by the locals, although the region, as Tony, told Carrie, is full of “people with deep pockets” and also with people (Tony and her father) who are looking for “re -innovation”. One of Tony’s employees, a failed comedian named Sham McGlynn, takes her to the “Alice in Wonderland” atomic maze (such as this place). It refers to it as a place where “luxury yoga mothers” goes; Curry, despite its elegant tolerance, is not the same. Her father, Henry, lives on water property, where he sits on a hall chair facing the river and smoking with Carrie, telling her that this is the place where he often retracts to read Henry David Thoro.Lure: “He asks,” What are you doing here and why? ” Your father has always asked these questions. “

Perhaps he did. But Abi Carrey also went on TV to promote false medical devices and doubtful nutritional supplements and made videos enhance false scientific theories to sell his goods. Stephens includes many of these clips in the movie, allowing them to play with great seductive length. Note: The doctor in them, John Hernandez (not Fernandez), is the true father of actress Kali Hernandez (not Carrie Fernandez). John Hernandez died in 2021, and the story of the “invention” was raised from Kali’s bereavement and complications that followed. As the names of the father and the daughter, the film wears his imagination rudely: It includes well -known filmmakers, such as Swanberg, in dramatic roles and backgrounds, characterized by the outstanding scenes (“Let the magic” happen.

Magic actually occurs – strange deception, appearances of reality, and a feeling of strangeness. The dramatic scenes of the “invention” are filled with a strange ball details, such as the owner’s insistence on the machine to kneel to pray in his office, the Standup routine that flies Sham, and the treatment of Kitch in the maze of the corn field, Henry’s slow enthusiasm, and the treatment of Babby, a director of fun in the analysis. Often the stranger comes from the drone from the bureaucracy: the Forest of the emotional port for legal thinking, and the denying the airlines representative of Carrie’s endeavor to obtain the opponent of the bereavement, dollars and the age of the burning of Dr. J (which Carrie bills are retroactively). In the face of this work of strangers and complexity, the madness of greatness begins to seem a completely rational response. This feverish strangeness is subject to conspiracy theories and land induction that lasts through the film and provides dilapidated intellectual engineering for mercenaries to Dr. J.

“Invention” is a film on pollution – intermediate pollution, and confusion on the American mind along with the landscape. From the slopes of Berkshers, a esteemed dynasty of American madness arises, Hokum’s hair – shows ancient strange America for medicine, circus and carnivals. However, instead of being local, this madness is now echoed by the media, the commercial resonance of the air waves, which is not represented by only the sales clips of Dr. J. But also through excerpts from exciting news reports and screaming accidents. Flower and linear plates were amplified of the mind, which were domesticated, exaggerated, electricity and weapons, and this media pollution is an original American like the smoke fog of cars designed in Detroit, soot from coal and crash from local factories. (In this regard, the “invention” reminds me of another wonderful movie in Brington of Media Madness: “Nice poison“From 1968, starring Anthony Birkins and Tuesday Weld.)

In this exploited environment, the luxury of Henri’s Waterside plays like the inattentive deviation of the likeauvian. However, at the same time, the natural horror that still exists in the region-as it was photographed by Stevens-is more than the form of reclamation and intimate resistance. The semicircular images of amazing wooden hills, forests, foliage, home river, and other projects permeate the film throughout, in cinematic filming (by Raphael Palacio Elengors), which appears to them as clear wonders, the face of the world. In that great Visage, Stephens and Hernandez are bothering a theme of the large scope and urgency. References to American literary heroes in the nineteenth century may be distorted, but the ideals find an authentic embodiment in these high -nature images. In seventy -two minutes, it can be controlled, a “invention” moves, for all its tangle and promotion, at a graceful, contemplative pace, in the body of Humbon and pictures with reserve clarity; It was filmed in 16 mm, and it contains a pill that makes it hardly manufactured-aesthetic aesthetic to participate with nature. Strong ideas of transcendent scholars, albeit with blocking them through voting and negatives, appear as permanent and pocket, and can also be easily accessible through the modest and local artistic creation as is the case through their books. On the other hand, Stevens and Hernandez does not look particularly optimistic. ♦
