High art arising from light comedy
"The Freshman" is an unforgettable film. It surprises with understated wit, seamless plot development, brilliant acting ... and balances hilarity with moments of emotional poignancy that give this film depth. It is a film to enjoy and love for that surprising undercurrent of depth of feeling ... which is the sturdy rudder steering the plot to a lovely conclusion. For this is not just about a naive Vermont (or is that Montanna?) freshman stumbling his way not only through surreal Manhattan but a Manhattan Mafia don's scam ("Scam is such an ugly word," says Marlon Brando with aplomb, and we find ourselves roaring with laughter ... again and again). No, this great film, perhaps Brando's best in his understated parody of The Godfather figure, gets into his soul and that of the virginal youth played to perfection by a young Matthew Broderick. For this film explores the meaning of family, of loyalty, and love between imperfect human beings.
What makes this the masterpiece it is is the subtle interweaving of plot and characters, a perfect script, and seeing a master actor Brando act with his soft voice, eyes ... and once, crushing some walnuts - always delivering, always showing what it meant to be this mystical contradiction of crook and nice guy who doesn't betray.
Splendidly directed, funny yet interspersed with moments of pathos ... oh yes, this is a classic not to be missed, in a class all its own. BRAVO!
