One of the deciding factors I use to determine whether or not I will purchase a DVD is, “How many times will I want to see this film?” Well, as far as this DVD is concerned I’m nearing the double-digits in viewings. This is essentially a Family Film with a great cast of actors such as Laurence Fishburn, Joan Allen, Joe Mantegna, Ben Kingsley, David Paymer, William H. Macy, and a small role by the then virtually unknown Laura Linney. After that, there are some fine scenes filled with some excellent child acting. I happen to think any film with good child acting is worth seeing, they are so rare. The story is well-written and ranges in emotion from humor to borderline outrage and deep-seeded disappointment. This film actually reminds me of “The Color of Money” directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman. I got a similar buzz from both films. After I watch “The Color of Money” I feel an unbridled desire to play pool. After I watch “Searching for Bobby Fischer” I need to break out my chess board or play on my chess program. There is even a shot taken directly from “The Color of Money” that is used here. In “The Color of Money” there is a great camera shot of a huge room that starts with a shot of the ceiling and gradually pans downward to reveal an empty hall with about twenty pool tables set up for play. In “Searching for Bobby Fischer” there is a sweeping camera shot that begins with a dark shot of a hallway ceiling then floats through an archway into a huge, empty hall filled with dozens of chess boards ready for play. This film did get a single Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography, and with shots like those it is easy to see why. This is a very solid purchase for anyone, chess fans or no. There are a couple of scenes that bend towards the over-dramatic for the sense of keeping the story thrilling. Such as the final chess match, which is not what really happened, but it makes for a more entertaining scene. I know this because the real Josh Waitzkin helped design my chess program Chessmaster 9000 and his championship games are all listed therein. Minor discrepancies aside, everything about this film is first-rate and altogether superb. Thank you.
This is not a movie only about chess any more than “Field of Dreams” was only about baseball. This is about a father who wants his son to excel, and about a son who just wants his father’s love and approval just to be a “normal” kid. “Chess” in this movie could have been a metaphor for any special “gift” or talent, but it is important to mention that this film is based on real-life persons and events.
This is a story about finding one’s character and courage in the face of mounting pressure and high expectations. It’s about a very young boy who wants to be sure his father loves him for who he is, not just for what he can do.
Written and directed by Steven Zaillian (who wrote, among other things, the screenplay for Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”), SFBF is a heartwarming movie that has you rooting and cheering. And young Max Pomeranc is a real fine young actor! Multiple Oscar-nominee Joan Allen plays the boy’s mother in this film, and here she continues to solidify her position as one of the most wonderful actresses working today. Will she EVER get the widespread recognition she deserves?
