\"is_Anybody_There_Poster\"<\/p>\n

Over 100 films to his credit. Six Oscar nominations. Two Best Supporting Actor Oscars in hand. Eight BAFTA nomina\u00adtions with one Best Actor award.\u00a0 Twelve Golden Globe nominations. Three Globes as Best Actor.\u00a0 A knighthood.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just a smattering of the accolades show\u00adered on Michael Caine over the past five decades. So, one now must ask what could possibly be left for a man of his tal\u00adent and caliber to achieve at the tender age of 76. According to Michael Caine himself, there is one goal he still has, \u201cI guess it would be to win an Oscar for Best Actor. I\u2019ve never done that.\u201d\u00a0 Enter screenwriter Peter Harness who, with this first feature film, IS ANYBODY THERE?, brought Michael Caine to tears just read\u00ading the script and gives Sir Michael a role that may just garner him that elusive Best Actor Academy Award.<\/p>\n

Edward is a precocious 10 year old whose once joyous and fun-filled home known as Lark Hall, has been turned into a nursing home by his parents.\u00a0 Now filled with the Clarence. And all the while, a magic all its own is happening to them both.<\/p>\n

This is Michael Caine\u2019s Best Actor Oscar per\u00adformance. As Clarence, he elderly, the infirm and the senile, Edward has even lost his own room and is rele\u00adgated to the attic. Not that the residents aren\u2019t an interesting lot if Edward would only take the time to get to know them. Edna is funny but a bit off kilter, Bob is a WWI vet who suffers from a permanent Parkinsonsian twitching, Elsie is pretty much afraid of her own shadow and Reg is a self-perceived ladies man whose pen\u00adchant for dirty jokes causes more embar\u00adrassment to everyone that he does. And they are all old with some infirmity and are in Edward\u2019s house waiting for the end to come. Surrounded by the smell of old age and death, it\u2019s only natural that Edward would become obsessed with death and ghosts and the hereafter and obsessed he is. Hiding tape recorders in the rooms of the residents or putting microphones under their noses at night hoping to cap\u00adture those last fleeting moments of life or to hear what it sounds like when someone dies, Edward doesn\u2019t know what it means to be a little boy and have fun and be the center of attention. His father is obsessed with the aide that comes in daily to help with the residents.\u00a0 His mother is obsessed with the residents and takes her job as caretaker with great seriousness and care.\"2009-04-15_164611\"<\/p>\n

But life takes on a new perspective when Clarence Parkinson arrives. Once known as \u201cThe Amazing Clarence\u201d, he is now a crotchety, cranky, acerbic old man who is placed at Lark Hall by Social Services. While he arrives under his own steam in a ratty looking kaleidoscopic camper, him\u00adself appearing rather unkempt and flus\u00adtered, on opening his mouth he is anything but which makes one wonder why he is being placed at Lark Hall. Clarence has a wit, and a wise one at that. But he does-n\u2019t take kindly too nosy little boys; and one in particular who is rather disgruntled at Clarence\u2019s arrival because now he knows he will never get his old room back. But something magical happens. Clarence sees something in Edward no one else dares see – a little lost soul adrift and look\u00ading for love and attention. And Edward sees a man with a fascinating past life filled with adventure, who now seems intent to shut the door on that past life and keep it shut. But with a nosey little boy around, that\u2019s not very likely to happen – is it?<\/p>\n

As the days and weeks pass, Clarence and Edward become inseparable. Clarence determines to shed Edward of his obsession with death and Edward determines to bring back The Amazing captures the curmudgeonly, acerbic, crustiness of a man nearing the end of his life, a man filled with regrets but realizing it may be too late to right his past wrongs, but a man that is still full of love and wisdom to give and is looking to be loved and needed and not put out to pasture.\u00a0 For Caine, \u201cI loved doing this. I fell in love with the script. David Hayward, who brought the script to me. . gave it to me and I was reading it and I got halfway through and I rang him and I said, I\u2019ll do it. He said, Did you like it? I said I haven\u2019t finished it yet. He said, well, why are you calling me before you are fin\u00adished. I said, because I\u2019m crying and I wanted something to do. It made me cry halfway through. No script had ever done that to me before. I don\u2019t cry easily.\u00a0 I just thought it was a wonderful thing to do and it stretches me. When you\u2019ve been an actor as long as I have, you\u2019re trying to get better, better, better.\u00a0 The only reason to go to work really – is to try and prove to yourself that you\u2019re better than you were the last time.\u201d As Clarence he is better than in almost any role in his storied career.\u00a0 One would think with all of Caine\u2019s experience, that acting would be a walk in the park for him, but it\u2019s not. Here, he had to master the art of magic. And as he told me, it was \u201cquite difficult, especial\u00adly when you\u2019re my age. I\u2019ve got fingers that don\u2019t\u2019 work quite so well.\u00a0 Billy [Milner] got that one quicker than I did. It\u2019s quite difficult to do [card tricks].\u201d\u00a0 Caine also believes in calling on life\u2019s experiences to help you formulate your character and here was no different.\u00a0 He calls on the technical knowledge necessary to perfect a per\u00adformance from watching his friends who may be afflicted with a disease or living the experience with them.<\/p>\n

As for the casting of Edward, unknown Bill Milner got the nod over 75 other actors. Although Caine didn\u2019t have a say so in casting Edward, he did point out to producer David Heyman, \u201c if the little boy is no good, we\u2019re in trouble. And then he brought Bill in. And Bill was fabulous. Bill wasn\u2019t from a stage school. He hadn\u2019t done any profession\u00adal acting before. He was from an amateur dra\u00admatic society and most impor\u00adtant of all, he didn\u2019t have a Stage Mum.\u201d He had a very nice, very sweet mother.\u00a0 He\u2019s just a very natu\u00adral little boy and I thought he was wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"2009-04-15_164644\"<\/p>\n

Milner is perfect as the impish 10 year old. Described by Caine as \u201cso skilled and so natural\u201d, Milner has a childlike enthusiasm that fills the character but he exudes a wis\u00addom beyond his years. However, it\u2019s his rapore with Caine that fills your heart everytime you see them on screen. The two are like a grandfather and grandson \u00adone imparting wisdom and one soaking it up like a sponge; one being a child and learning to be an adult and one remem\u00adbering what it\u2019s like to be a child.\u00a0 Watching Milner and Caine is a priceless experi\u00adence. According to Caine, who likes to \u201cwork with the best possible actors because it pushes me on. With Bill, I never got the sense that Bill was a little child actor.\u00a0 I just looked at Bill as someone who was just the same as me. We were just friends. We were very good friends.\u201d And Caine never gave him any advice. \u201cHe didn\u2019t need any.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t look like he needed any. He was just wonderful.\u00a0 I thank God every day that he [Bill] was there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"2009-04-15_164659\"<\/p>\n

Screenwriter Peter Harness is an undis\u00adcovered treasure. Named in 2007 as one of the \u201cStars of Tomorrow\u201d by The Times and Screen International, one look at IS ANYBODY THERE?, and you won\u2019t won\u00adder why the title was bestowed upon him. Drawing on his own experience growing up in a seniors home run by his parents in Hornsea, England, the characters are rich, vivid and textured; full of life. Told with the honesty of a child, Harness touches on various social issues such as the elderly, the right to die, death itself and most importantly, the human spirit among the generations. Heartfelt, poignant and dra\u00admatic, the icing on the cake is Crowley\u2019s use of humor which is well placed, appro\u00adpriate and well executed.<\/p>\n

But it is the emotional impact of the story between Clarence and Edward that cap\u00adtures the heart and the senses as we see young Edward become a man and the elder statesman Clarence slowly fade away.\u00a0 According to Sir Michael, \u201cI\u2019m there to take care of [the boy].\u00a0 And eventually he\u2019s there to take care of me.\u00a0 And he learns from doing that.\u201d With a silken ease, he brings his two central characters full circle, each displaying childlike wisdom and maturity; each starting at one end of the spectrum and moving either forward or backward but eventually meeting in the middle where the synergy between Clarence and Edward is of such intensity to bring you to tears with sad realizations about life. One of the most poignant scenes where the stars perfectly align in terms of writing, directing and acting is a day when Clarence picks Edward up from school. As Edward emerges into the schoolyard and sees Clarence, he breaks into a wide grin exploding with happiness while Clarence stands there beaming and on being asked by a parent, \u201cIs that your grandson?\u201d elicits a pause and smile that is both wistful and beautiful.\u00a0 It will bring tears to your eyes and is a perfect exam\u00adple of the Harness\u2019 excellence with unspo\u00adken storytelling. He lets the visual descrip\u00adtive tell the story which plays perfectly into the hands of John Crowley.<\/p>\n

Director John Crowley mesmerized us with the his award wining film \u201cBoy A\u201d a couple of years ago. He displayed an innate sense of conveying powerful emo\u00adtion through tacit lensing.\u00a0 Needless to say, given the nature of IS ANYBODY THERE?, his style and ability only compli\u00adments the already strong script and the narrative format. Described by Caine as a \u201cbrilliant young Irish director\u201d, Crowley\u2019s strength may come from his theatre back\u00adground with an adept sense of storytelling, focusing on characters with a calm inten\u00adsity.\u00a0 Contributing to the emotion of the film is cinematographer Rob Hardy who brings a warm softness to the pallette.<\/p>\n

A perfect blend of love, poignancy, humor and drama, for Caine, he would like you to \u201ctake away a moving experience about life that [you] didn\u2019t quite have before. About the relationships about children and adults and youngsters and the aging. It goes both ways. You see how an older person can help someone young. And you see how a younger person should treat an older person. That understanding between the two ages is very important in this picture.\u201d And what a beautiful under\u00adstanding it is that is brought to life by Michael Caine and Billy Milner.\u00a0 IS ANY\u00adBODY THERE? – They certainly are.\u00a0 This is pure Oscar gold in the shape of a heart.<\/p>\n
