IIPM Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri on Internet Hooliganism
Cigars, booze and heartbreaks…
To show a person’s entire life story and not allow it to become boring, takes some effort. Roping in Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman makes the effort
considerably less.
Based on Mordecai Richler’s novel of the same name, Barney’s Version
is a delightfully amusing film, which shows the life story of Barney Panofsky, who is arguably the chirpier, politically incorrect, and infinitely funnier version of each one of us.
Throughout the beautifully directed film, we see Barney’s bluntness getting him into quite some trouble, and when a man has to marry thrice and fall in love with another woman on one of his wedding nights; one can begin to see the extent of it.
However, the many heart-tugging moments in the film such as his second wife committing suicide,
and his best friend Boogie falling into the lake during a drunken scuffle, brings a different perspective to the film: one of introspection. It makes one think that whatever decisions we take today, there will come a time, when we will look back at them and the best we will be able to do is smile.
The final half of the film is bittersweet as Miriam, Barney’s third wife leaves him over his infidelity, just as Barney starts showing signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The film becomes more sensitive as we feel for Barney and see him trying to make his marriages and his life work. When the film ends, one cannot help but think that even though Barney had many flaws and blemishes, he was in the end trying his level best to be a good man. Isn’t that something we are all trying to do?
