 OFFOFFOFF film review SILVER CITY movie by John Sayles with Maria Bello, Thora Birch, David Clennon, Chris Cooper, Alma ...
"Silver City" is a pretty good John Sayles outing, not as tight as his very best films but still worthwhile for its dead-on hilarious jibes at the current president as well as its overarching story about society and politics out west.
By the same token, "Silver City" is an excellent name, romantically evoking the old west, for an upscale Colorado housing development.
"Silver City" the movie is about a lot of things, but they all tie in to a deal to turn a perilous old mining site into an idyllic lakeside community.

Silver City is Sayles' best effort since Limbo, and incorporates many of the same complexities (both in terms of characters and situations) that made Lone Star such an unexpected success.
Silver City offers a bitter antidote to feel-good, "true" stories like A Civil Action and Erin Brockovich, in which ordinary citizens go up against big businesses and win.

 Silver City (2004)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In 'City,' the character is called Dickie Pilager, a bumbling government boob, thrust into office by corporate backers who need an inside man to erase environmental laws and help grease the flow of money away from the lower class.
'City' isn't strictly an attack on the Bush administration, but in classic broad Sayles style it reaches into the plights of Mexican illegals, the death of newspaper journalism credibility, and the environmental damage being exacted on the Midwest.
However, the Bush similarities in the story are easily the weakest points in 'City.' Sayles seems to be pushing too hard to form parallels, disrupting the smooth tone the rest of the picture maintains.

I had a lot of hope for "Silver City" but ultimately, it was a very ambitious film that was packed full of ideas probably best fleshed out for a mini-series.
"Silver City" is primarily a political satire--the character of the fumbling, inept Dickie Pilager is obviously supposed to be modeled on George Bush.
Silver City is another excellent movie from a director who has been focusing on an important topic for a while now: America.

 Silver City - Coming Soon! Film Database   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
From John Sayles, one of the essential, iconoclastic voices of American independent cinema, comes "Silver City," a film that is equal parts scathing political lampoon and sun-stunned neo-noir detective story.
Set against the backdrop of a mythic "New West," "Silver City" follows grammatically-challenged, "user-friendly" candidate Dicky Pilager (Cooper), scapegrace scion of Colorado's venerable Senator Jud Pilager (Murphy), during his gubernatorial campaign.
With pitch-perfect dialogue, unerring sense-of-place, and a slashing satiric strain, "Silver City" offers John Sayles's timely and toxic look at the state of the union on the eve of the 2004 Presidential election.

 Silver City
Clearly take-off slots at popular times of the day can be critical in attracting the more profitable business traveller to a given airline's flight and in establishing a competitive advantage against a competing airline.
If a particular city has two or more airports, market forces will tend to attract the less profitable routes, or those on which competition is weakest, to the less congested airport, where slots are likely to be more available and therefore cheaper.
Other factors, such as surface transport facilities and onward connections, will also affect the relative appeal of different airports and some long distance flights may need to operate from the one with the longest runway.

 SPLICEDwire | "Silver City" movie review (2004) "Silver City" review, John Sayles, Chris Cooper, Danny Huston
As with all John Sayles pictures, "Silver City" also captures the unique flavor of its locale with native humor (wondering if the dead man is from Boulder, cop asks coroner "You check his stomach for granola?") and intertwined subplots about cattle ranching, mining waste and upscale suburban expansion.
But the heart of the film is its perceptive, unblinking social commentary on the increasingly corrupt and incestuous state of backroom politics and timid journalism -- and the hollow-vessel front men this relationship is helping to ordain.
But Sayles means "Silver City" as a particularly relevant, symbolic political scrutiny in the here and now -- not necessarily as a movie to be remembered among his classics -- and on that count it's a searing and ironically patriotic success.

 Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Silver City   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In this thought-provoking work, Sayles offers cogent and timely insights into the warps of contemporary politics, the equation of big business with democracy and freedom, the manipulation of the media, the corruption of the language of public discourse, the wanton desecration of the environment, and the abuse of illegal immigrants.
She has become cynical over the years and is dating Chandler Tyson (Billy Zane), a successful political lobbyist whose latest project is facilitating the Silver City planned community project being promoted by Grace Seymour's husband, Mort (David Clennon).
As he demonstrated with City of Hope, Matewan, and Sunshine State, he is not afraid to paint a broad canvas or to explore subjects viewed as too hot to handle by other less courageous filmmakers.
