  • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1976 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 9 Film: Roeg's The Man' is believable S/F The Man who Fell To Earth a film by Nick Roeg Starring David Bowie, Candy Clark and Rip Torn by Greg L. Teetsell With the release of Nick Roeg's film The Man Who Fell To Earth, director Roeg and Star David Bowie are artistically secure. Nick Roeg's previous experience directing a pop star in a "serious" work, Mick Jagger in the 1969 film Performance, was moderately successful but this venture, based on Walter Tevis' obscure 1963 SF novel is a stomping and inspiring work and easily the best SF since 2001: A Space Oddessy. Director Roeg must have been divinely stimulated in his choice of David Bowie to play the alien, Thomas J. Newton. Bowie not only looks the part of a frail genius, but is superb as the wealthy, lonely and alcoholic recluse he becomes after his "humani- zation". As the visitor from a dying planet, Newton takes the advanced technology from his world and revolutionizes the electronics and photographic industries and in a few short years is among the wealthiest men in the world. In the meantime, Newton becomes romantically involved with a good hearted working-class gin fanatic named Mary Lou played by Candy Clark. She exposes Newton to gin, reliqion and homo sapein sex. And then Newton builds his spaceship and for whatever purposes the FBI and the Army call his hand, he is captured, and so-the usual police-state tactics. Bowie is humanized by his emotional involvement with Mary Lou and his ever worsening addiction to alcohol. And this humanization is a result of his trying to save anyone but himself. The protagonist Newton sees this and like the blinded Oedipus refuses to return home. In the end sequence of the movie The Man Who Fell To Earth, Newton- Bowie is sitting at a table with an old friend, very drunk and maudlin. Newton stumbles as he tries to get his wallet to pay for more gin. The waiter says "I think Mr. Newton has had enough." Perhaps that is the line which makes The Man Who Fell To Earth the most believable and honest SF since 2001: A Space Oddessy. Sorry We don't just get you there.
