	Salon Arts & Entertainment \| "Brokedown Palace" (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Jonathan Kaplan's "Brokedown Palace" (written by David Arata, from a story by Adam Fields), Claire Danes, one of the most talented actors of her generation, utters the line "That's all freedom is -- an illusion." And you always thought it was just another word for nothing left to lose.
		"Brokedown Palace" is something of a cross between "Midnight Express" and those faceless old movies set in women's prisons, although it's not as aggressively terrifying as the former and not as campily funny as the latter.
		"Brokedown Palace" starts out promisingly enough: The early scenes, where the girls explore the glittering glory of Thailand, are beautifully shot, and Kaplan manages to capture something of the lazy, sunny camaraderie that two young and very close friends on vacation might share.

	Brokedown Palace (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Brokedown Palace features a teen friendly cast of Claire Danes, Kate Beckinsale, and Lou Diamond Phillipps, but has a premise not so teen friendly, with a plot similar to that of the 1998 film Return to Paradise and 1978's Midnight Express.
		Claire Danes steals every scene she is present in, acting her character to perfection, as Alice becomes a person in the viewer's life, as you feel for her deeply as she is treated harshly in the smucky prison.
		Director Jonathan Kaplan couldn't have done a better job with Brokedown Palace, as he cleverly uses the effective setting to make you care about the outcome of the film, as the film engulfs you as to what is happening on screen, keeping you guessing and wondering until the film's final moments.

	AlterNet: War on Iraq: Brokedown Palace
		Yesterday he screened his documentary, Gunner Palace, for representatives of the Motion Picture Association of America, and won an appeal that will allow the film to be released with a PG-13 rating rather than its original R. "It's a landmark thing," says the director by phone from Los Angeles.
		Gunner Palace is one of a cluster of cultural signifiers indicating a fundamental shift in how we perceive, and will perceive, the war on Iraq.
		As important as it is for Americans to see what the soldiers are experiencing, whether they are pro-war or anti-war, hawk or pacifist, it's also incredibly heartening for the soldier's relatives, who get a sense of what life is like in Iraq instead of having to create it in their imaginations.

	Brokedown Palace (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A palace is an important urban residence of a royal or noble family, with its origins as the executive power center ofa kingdom.
		The original 'palaces' on the Palatine Hill were the seat of the imperial power, while the capitol on the Capitoline Hill was the seat of the senate andthe religious nucleus of Rome.
		Historians apply the term "palace" anachronistically, to label the complexstructures of Minoan Knossos, or the Mycenaean palace societies, or the 4th century incompletely-Hellenized palace system of Philip of Macedon 's Vergina — or palaces outside the European world entirely.

	Filmtracks: Brokedown Palace (David Newman)
		Brokedown Palace: (David Newman) After a string of lighter scoring assignments (most recently on Bowfinger), David Newman tackles a dark and disturbing score for a film about a teenage adventure overseas that goes horribly wrong because of irresponsible flightiness.
		In very simple terms, Brokedown Palace is a twist on Beyond Rangoon, but without the powerful base, heavier on the authentic native instrumentation, and more subtle in its themes.

		Like that movie, Brokedown Palace is the story of American kids who travel to Southeast Asia looking for freedom and find exactly the opposite--drug arrests and jail sentences handed down by kangaroo courts.
		Unlike Return to Paradise, Brokedown Palace thrusts the audience right into the frustration and despair faced by two American teenage girls locked in a hideous prison for a crime that even the authorities know they didn't commit.

	Brokedown Palace (1999)
		Bill Pullman is adequate in his role of the girls' lawyer but there is a badly miscast Amanda DeCadenet as a British prisoner.
		Add to this a boring and standard direction by Jonothan Kaplan, who is never brave enough to execute the sporadic bursts of imagination he occasionally has, means that Brokedown Palace is a film that could've been great but instead is merely watchable and ultimately forgettable, despite a good performance by Claire Danes.

	Brokedown Palace Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Brokedown Palace continues the trend of disappointing films that Claire Danes has found herself involved with in the past couple of years.
		But like her recent films The Mod Squad and Les Miserables, Brokedown Palace (now on DVD) is yet another project that does not live up to its potential — despite the strong presence of Danes.
		Brokedown Palace features a nice, non-anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) transfer with the option of Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Surround Sound.

	The Annotated "Broke-down Palace"
		According to an interview with Hunter in a documentary film by Jeremy Marre, "Broke-down Palace," "Ripple" and "To Lay Me Down" were all composed in one afternoon, over a half-bottle of retsina.
		Kesey said that sometime during the second set, the whole band turned to him (he was sitting in a balcony seat, or was close to the stage...) and began playing "Broke-down Palace." Kesey recounted with tears in his eyes that it wasn't until that moment that he really understood what art was.
		The Broke-down Palace was the name that some bums gave to a dilapitated warehouse, where they all resided.

	Brokedown Palace (1999)
		And for every attempt by director Jonathan Kaplan (The Accused) to temper Palace's teen-flick triteness with a gripping dramatic scene, he follows it up with another music video chaser, distancing any viewer over 13 further from Danes or Beckinsale's plight.
		Palace's performances are as hard to swallow as its diluted dramatics.
		The fatal and final blow to Palace, however, is its weak and ambiguous conclusion.

	Brokedown Palace (1999)
		Indeed, although many critics panned Brokedown Palace for its "unrealistic" conclusion, I think they were simply responding to the fact that the ending is unexpected.
		It goes against type, and by confounding expectations, it gives the impression of coming out of left field, but actually the ending is perfectly consistent with the overall theme of the movie.
		In short, Brokedown Palace is not about two innocents locked away by a corrupt process.

	CNN - Review: Tired rehash produces a brokedown 'Palace - August 24, 1999
		It stars Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale as Alice and Darlene, a couple of rather dumb kids from Ohio who are incorrectly arrested as heroin smugglers during a high school graduation trip to mean old Thailand.
		Thailand's justice system as portrayed in "Brokedown Palace" is a no-win situation, but Danes and Beckinsale face so many cockroaches you'd think they were being held prisoner by truncheon-wielding Orkin men.
		Beckinsale even loses her sense of balance at one point when a roach dies in her ear canal and causes an infection.

		Structurally, the story follows a more-or-less traditional narrative form, broken by interludes that may describe events that are important but of which the characters are unaware, or may simply be folktales (of the “tall tales” variety) within the larger folktale.
		It is tempting to say that the Palace is another major character, but it’s not; it is, however a potent symbol that Brust uses to great effect.
		As in folklore, the characters are broadly drawn, but this is a novel, and they accumulate the telling details that belong to real people as the story progresses – they are well-developed, but always hover in the realm of the archetype.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Brokedown Palace
		Brokedown Palace is the story of two bestest of friends who sneak off to Thailand (their parents think they're in Hawaii) as a post-high school graduation jaunt.
		Most of the front half of Palace is narrated by Danes via a cassette tape she's managed to send to "Yankee Hank" Greene (Bill Pullman), an American lawyer partnered legally and matrimonially with a Thai local named Yon (Jacqueline Kim).
		Those in front of me were cackling like hyenas and many walked out calling Brokedown Palace "ridiculous." Those were the women, who should be more sympathetic.

		Brokedown Palace is the story of the relationship between two girls as they are put through probably one of the toughest trials: prison in a foreign land, where nobody speaks your language and the established customs are unknown to you.
		Brokedown Palace is a surprisingly tense film largely carried by the talents of Danes and Pullman.

	Brokedown Palace - Cincinnati.Com
		Brokedown Palace sets itself a tough task, with a story that looks like nothing so much as a distaff version of Midnight Express via Return to Paradise.
		Even for audiences who have never seen either previous versions of this tale, Brokedown Palace cannot quite translate the strong talent of its actors into an emotional experience that can sustain itself for the length of the film.
		Trouble starts early with a dull kick-off section in which two close friends from Ohio (ever notice that every clueless tourist in every movie made seems to come from Ohio?) decide to celebrate their high school graduation with a trip to Thailand.

		The additional use of a hip-hop rhythm track for some cues adds just a dash of surrealism, since it tended to be married to either the Asian instruments, or the full orchestra.
		Brokedown Palace is about two tourists who find themselves accused of a crime, and dealing with a foreign country's laws.
		This is a direct result of the tracks being rearranged so as not to be in the chronological order of the film.

		Someone in Danes's camp decided that it was a bad idea for her to follow Romeo and Juliet with another costume picture (or at least that's what was reported in the trades).
		Why they thought the ankle-length saffron-colored sack that she wears throughout almost all of Brokedown Palace would be less of a costume than Joan's suit of armor is anyone's guess.
		In Brokedown Palace, Danes plays Alice, an impulsive, adventurous teenager who, with her best friend, Darlene (Kate Beckinsale), celebrates high school graduation with a trip to Thailand.

		"Brokedown Palace" tells the story of two American teenage girls who are sentenced to spend most of their lives in a Thai prison.
		"Brokedown Palace" doesn't offer a simple moral equation like that--at least not at first, although the ending sets a challenge for the audience.
		The two girls are sentenced to 33 years, and in desperation find a local American lawyer named Hank the Yank (Bill Pullman) who agrees to take their case.

	The DVD Journal: Brokedown Palace
		Brokedown Palace is one of those movies about American tourists unwittingly and/or naively ensnared into the high-risk practice of international drug trafficking.
		After an unnecessary narration informs us that Alice (Danes) is the bad girl and Darlene (Beckinsale) is the good girl, the best friends land in Bangkok, meet a handsome stranger, and are subsequently arrested with a mysterious motherlode of heroin in their luggage.
		Danes and Beckinsale take their arrest in unusual stride for two immature teens, who a few nights before dealt with their mutual affections for the same man as a near-crisis.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Brokedown Palace
		The former of those two was closer to Brokedown Palace in size and stature: also a mid-August release (during 1998), it had the look and feel of a low-budget independent film.
		In general, Brokedown Palace borrows from both of these: unsuspecting American(s) traveling in Southeast Asia are framed for crimes they most obviously didn't commit, incarcerated in a dank sewer of a prison, shunned by their own embassy, and left to fend for themselves in an alien justice system.
		Specifically, the plot points in Brokedown are very close to Return to Paradise, considering the narcotics involved and the nature of the protagonists.
