		A parallax view is that which implies observation from a different position and though this is reflected in the movie by Frady being first the watcher and then the watched, the movie seems to be asking its viewers to alter their position, to become less compliant and manipulatable, to 'suspend their belief'.
		The Parallax View allows for an auto-generation of such stances in that it is, on a first viewing, so confusing and problematical that the identificatory process is diverted from being "induced" to either being auto-created by the viewers or rejected altogether.
		Where perhaps The Parallax View causes a shift is in its revelation of the varying apparatuses of power: from the existence of a para-state through the problematic status of 'knowledge' and the increasingly distorted line between fact and fiction to the techniques of subjectification inherent in the manipulations of mainstream film making.

	IMDb user comments for The Parallax View (1974) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Not only is PARALLAX VIEW not dated, it remains a sleeper of a film and an eye-opening study of how an innocent person hovering at the edge of a conspiracy investigation is attracted, manipulated, and finally shoved in as the patsy for the murder of a Presidential candidate.
		PARALLAX is a tale in which a newspaper reporter, Warren Beatty, drives into an investigation of the assassination of a U.S. senator in Seattle after the suspicious death of a woman reporter (Paula Prentiss).
		The Parallax Interview Film is one of the most important films to come out of American cinema in the 70's and despite it having dated over the years, is as effective and chilling as ever.

		Whether or not The Parallax View intends to portray that the Commission, and by extension the state, are knowingly implicated in the assassinations is maybe not the point.
		Pakula has stressed that his aim of exploring some views of the world as it is seen through a distorting glass had the intention of pointing out more intensely certain realities (5) yet there are times when the viewer is offered a clarity that is itself only apparently clear.
		What we are seeing should be the antithesis of the shadowy world of the Parallax Corporation, a world unimplicated in power, but Pakula does not allow the viewer to unproblematically fall back on the dualism of good and evil for the rehearsal are sinisterised, their clarity is marred by Pakula's subtle exposition of political chicanery.

		In The Parallax View, a Northwest TV news crew is accidental witness to a senator’s fatal shooting by a waiter, who (remember Lee Harvey Oswald) is himself slain by police before he can talk.
		There are extended non-dialogue patches, such as the recruiting film for the Parallax Corporation: five uninterrupted minutes of eerie, brainwashing images.
		Best of all, there’s the way the famous political assassination in Nashville (1975) is prefigured by The Parallax View's explosive climax at a mammoth rally for a charismatic rising candidate.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Parallax View
		The stories in Parallax View are deeply felt, and frequently contain a genuine emotional power; but a lighter, more lyrical touch would invigorate and attune them.
		Keith Brooke and Eric Brown are not powerful stylists, and dour romanticism can be a turn-off; but their vision is clear, their imaginative reach is profound, and their stories, as Stephen Baxter asserts in his Foreword, are exemplary of Science Fiction's capacity to interrogate the universe itself in the service of humanity and humane understanding.
		Parallax View is indeed a showcase of serious mature SF, and well deserves to be read.

	DVD Savant: PARALLAX VIEW: The Incredible Montage
		In The Parallax View, reporter Beatty penetrates the mysterious Parallax Corporation, and as part of their recruiting process finds himself being shown (subjected to?) a 'special' short film in a theater seat wired to measure his emotional reactions.
		What we experience in Parallax is a short film constructed of still images and printed text titles, cut to music in a montage style not unlike experimental films of the 1960's.
		The Parallax Audition film is presented as a psychological litmus test for potential assassins.

		Gordon Willis (The Landlord, Klute, The Godfather, The Parallax View, The Godfather Part II, All the President's Men, Annie Hall, Interiors, Manhattan, Stardust Memories) is cinema's all time greatest cinematographer, a light painter of unsurpassable talent and worth.
		View still feels so fresh because it doesn't pull punches (unflappable rule: unsentimental always ages better than sentimental), and like Klute, by relying as much, if not more, on the eerie, unshakable Willis visuals than dialogue and characterization.
		Plus The Parallax View features a brainwashing sequence that is among the best five minutes ever put on celluloid, mesmerizing, miraculous work, so powerful I imagine Kubrick wishes he had conceived of it himself to have placed into A Clockwork Orange.

	THE PARALLAX VIEW - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Parallax View has some fun with Beatty's image: in one memorable scene, a roadhouse waitress swoons when Beatty, as swinging journalist for a two-bit newspaper Joseph Frady, orders a glass of milk.
		The Parallax View pulls off a difficult trick of identification with this movie-within-a-movie: our objective point-of-view becomes a subjective one--we never see Frady's face as he watches the screen, stuck staring at it as he is to narcotic effect.
		The Parallax View was the second paranoia fantasy of its year, opening within months of Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation.

	The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula)
		Aside from Pakula's remarkable contributions, much of the impact of "Parallax" comes from Gordon Willis' cinematography (Beatty's character is dwarfed by the large glass and steel high rise that houses Parallax's "Division of Human Engineering), and by the late Michael Small's minimilast score--the Parallax murders are heralded by a creepy, recurring anthem.
		"Parallax View" released in June of 1974, two months before the Nixon resignation, was a box office failure, owing to the fact perhaps that Paramount put all its promotional efforts into "Chinatown," a personal production of then studio head Robert Evans.
		"Parallax View" cries out for a 2 disc special edition, such as Warner Brothers is giving another Pakula conspiracy film, "All The President's Men" in late February.

	The Parallax View - Widescreen - DVD
		Made between Klute (1971) and All the President's Men (1976), The Parallax View was the most paranoid film in Pakula's paranoia trilogy.
		The influence of the Parallax Corporation appears to be limitless; the questions about the Kennedy assassination and the conclusion of the Watergate affair in 1974 only underlined how much the public didn't know about home-grown threats to democracy and free will.
		All of this proved too dark even for a 1974 audience that embraced such other challenging films of that year as The Godfather, Part II and Chinatown, making The Parallax View the sole flop of Pakula's trilogy.

		Fellow witnesses to the killing are becoming the victims of all-too coincidental accidents, and, with the aid of fretful Paula Prentiss, recluse William Daniels, and publisher Hume Cronyn, Joe discovers evidence that a mysterious corporation called Parallax may be in the business of recruiting assassins.
		The Parallax View is a model of intelligent, nerve-jarring suspense.
		The swastika disturbingly displayed next to a picture of George Washington in a brief shot in the Parallax Test sequence is half-cropped off the screen.

		Several narrow escapes with death fail to convince him of the obvious; that he is in over his head.
		Beatty is determined to find out what the Parallax Corporation is all about, and whether there is any limit to its power.
		This screening is to detect sociopathic personalities that Parallax believes are present in loyal assassins.

	BBC - Films - review - The Parallax View
		Alan J Pakula's monumental "The Parallax View" retains its intense intelligence and sense of claustrophobic skullduggery even 25 years after its release.
		Following the assasination of a prominent US senator, it comes to Frady's attention that the journalists who witnessed the event themselves begin to mysteriously meet their ends.
		Immortalised by the poster tagline for the film - 'As American as apple pie' - "The Parallax View" remains the political cat and mouse cliffhanger all others must live up to.

		What is completely ignored is another equally plausible scenario in which the person develops an intention to experience bungy jumping, sky diving, or just the simple adrenaline rush, and their bodies start producing STREX to keep the levels of adrenaline low enough to support the experience.
		This kind of view would never occur to the vast majority of researchers in a million years.
		They are completely seduced by the assumption that it all starts with the body to which we are simply reacting.

		Yet in a Washington where the senator (another Schrader regular Willem Dafoe) himself states that his wife has a much over-inflated view of her importance within 'the bigger picture', it steadily emerges that it's less a case of 'cherchez la femme' and more a case of 'follow the money'.

		The Parallax View may be the greatest conspiracy thriller ever made.
		There is no dialogue or further explanation as Beatty comes into the frame and walks past the camera.
		The montage sequence in the middle of the movie, designed as a psychological test by the Parallax corporation, is a further illustration of the technique Pakula uses in telling this story: no dialogue, just images and their juxtaposition creating meaning for the viewer.
