Roadmovie – „Das Leuchten der Erinnerung“ (2017)

Ob jetzt Krebs oder Alzheimer das größere Arschloch ist, möchte ich nicht entscheiden. Im Grunde meide ich beide, soweit ich es im Alltag denn verdrängen kann. Und dennoch habe ich mir angesehen, wie zwei alte Menschen, sowohl vom einen, wie vom anderen gezeichnet, sich in einem alten Winnebago auf die letzte Reise ihres Lebens machen. Mit Helen Mirren und Donald Sutherland. (3Sat)

In the middle of a run of movies including "M*A*S*H," "Kelly's Heroes" and "Don't Look Now," Donald Sutherland went to British Columbia and made two films. In "Bear Island" and "A Man, a Woman and a Bank," the New Brunswick-born actor, who died earlier this year, took on traditional leading roles instead of the offbeat parts he was known for. “It’s not so much that I’m trying to change my image, it’s more like a painter changing his style,” he told The New York Times. “I would like to be ordinary for a while." He went on to make and produce several movies in his home country. For @MONTECRISTO_mag, Sam Wiebe looks at Sutherland's career in Canada, and how his work helped establish Hollywood North.

From 2013:

#DonaldSutherland: 'I want #HungerGames to stir up a #revolution'

by Rory Carroll
November 2013

"Donald Sutherland wants to stir revolt. A real revolt. A youth-led uprising against #injustice that will overturn the US as we know it and usher in a kinder, better way. 'I hope that they will take action because it's getting drastic in this country.' Drone strikes. #Corporate tax dodging. #Racism. The #Keystone oil pipeline. Denying #FoodStamps to 'starving Americans'. It's all going to pot. 'It's not right. It's not right.'

"Millennials need awakening from slumber. 'You know the young people of this society have not moved in the last 30 years.' With the exception of #Occupy, a minority movement, passivity reigns. "They have been consumed with telephones. The voice hardens. 'Tweeting.'

"We are high up in a Four Seasons hotel overlooking Beverly Hills, sunlight glinting off mansions and boutiques below, an unlikely cradle of revolution. Sutherland, resplendent in a dark suit and red tie, is pushing 80. But he is quite serious about the call to arms. 'We did it in '68.'

"The Canadian actor has a venerable record of #leftwing #activism dating back to support for the #BlackPanthers and opposition to the #VietnamWar, but this latest foray into subversion dovetails with promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second installment in a series of four films based on Suzanne Collins's bestselling novels for young adults. It takes forward the story of Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who must fight other oppressed proles to the death as part of a tyrannical government's strategy of rule through fear.

"The dystopia, called Panem, is built on the ashes of the US, and Sutherland wants young audiences to respond to the allegory. 'Hopefully they will see this film and the next film and the next film and then maybe organise. Stand up.'"
