Philip Roth's novel

American Pastoral was based on Pulitzer Prize winning author Philip Roth's novel. The movie is directed by Ewan McGregor, he was also the main character who marries Jennifer Connelly who was the beauty queen of her state. Their daughter who was played by Dakota Fanning joins the turmoil of 1960's America and disappears from society after a few bombings that killed a group of people. Fanning goes missing most of her life and Ewan never gives up on her. I never knew what Pastoral means but it's meaning has to do with farming to grazing of sheep but in church it means concerning or appropriate to the giving of spiritual guidance. The family's life falls apart as each parent falls into emotional struggle to keep their sanity. Peter Riegert acts as Ewan's rough around the edges Jewish father while David Strathairn narrates the film. Overall it was a dark emotionally sad movie, good to watch once but don't think I would watch it again.

The movie is dark, very allegorical and deserves a bigger audience than it will get.

"Why does everyone say she did it when she couldn't have done it? She's been tricked and abducted." Seymour (McGregor) was an All-American sports star that was the most popular kid in college. He married a beauty queen and has the perfect life. They are ecstatic when their daughter Merry (Fanning) is born. Little by little Merry becomes more and more radical and passionate about the polarizing politics of the 60's. After the local post office is blown up and someone winds up dead Merry is the lone suspect. Now, Seymour puts his life on hold to find Merry and discover the truth. This is a very very good move, but it is not for everyone. The pacing is just in that awkward spot where if you are interested in the movie you will stick with it and enjoy the events. If you are on the fence the pacing will be just slow enough that many may bail on this. As for the movie itself, its very artsy and deep and important. This is a great character study and features the best acting of McGregor's career. The movie is dark, very allegorical and deserves a bigger audience than it will get. Overall, a very deep and thought provoking movie that will either be liked or shut off before its finished, depending on the person. I give this a high B.
