Additional InformationOf the three films that make up director Alan J. Pakula's 'paranoid trilogy' (KLUTE, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, and THE PARALLAX VIEW), the latter most strongly conveys paranoia. A stylish suspense-thriller, THE PARALLAX VIEW mirrors the political distrust Americans began to feel during the period following the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War, culminating in the Watergate conspiracy. The film stars Warren Beatty as investigative journalist Joe Frady, whose former girlfriend and colleague Lee Carter (Paula Prentiss) witnesses the assassination of a US Senator at the Seattle Space Needle. A government report declares it the work of a lone gunman, but when eyewitnesses begin showing up dead, Carter is convinced that a wider conspiracy is at work. Probing deeper, Frady uncovers the operations of the Parallax Corporation, which recruits social misfits and uses mind control techniques to turn them into assassins. In keeping with classic 1970s film, the story

Dark 1970s conspiracy thriller. A thinly-veiled, depressing analysis of the political assassinations of 1960s America.
This is the least well known of Pakula's early 70s paranoia, or conspiracy theory, trilogy, which also includes the Oscar-winning films Klute and All The President's Men. This medium-budget production is something of a director's film. The camera seems to take a detached, almost god-like view of its subject, as journalist Beatty interviews witnesses to a political assassination, and investigates their own mysterious deaths. With Beatty in full, laconic, cool-guy mode, cf. Shampoo, there is less dialogue than background music. The musical score suggests the presence of evil in a similar way to that of The Godfather II. This, combined with surveillance-style camera work, suggests that Beatty is being secretly followed. Overall, the film gives the depressing impression that the USA of 1974 had a very professional, well-oiled machine for controlling the choice of leaders available to its electorate, from recruiting assassins to nobbling Congressional investigations into political murder. Moreover, that this machine was unassailable, and its success inevitable. In hindsight, we know that the appalling pattern of political assassination of the 1960s was not continued beyond the early 1970s. Instead, dangerously charismatic candidates have been humanely eliminated by exposure of their financial irregularities or private lives, or by expensive negative advertising campaigns. In a dry run for All The President's Men, Hume Cronin is Beatty's skeptical editor. Paula Prentiss and Jim Davis make brief cameos, and the overall standard of acting is excellent.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
