| Scene from UNCUT GEMS The moment the arc of the character comes into the
stage, the momentum of the diluted world gets earthly reflected through the
eyes of Howard Ratner, a charismatic Jewelry Shop Owner with the layers of
gore and subtle vulnerability in its stand. The structure of the character is precisely
brought to live with its revelations, actions and consequences blending
together to make a flavorful platter cutting the edge through time. This 2hr
15 min, taut ride of self-realization and spine-chilling revelations are the
key notes of Uncut Gems that took Safdie Brothers 10 years to give shape. They
eventually wrote about 160 drafts, and 80 plus storyboard designs till embracing
the final look. Josh and Benny Safdie in an interview, revealed that the casting
for the Movie was the most intriguing at the same time gruesome part, where from
Kobe Bryant to Kevin Garnett, measuring the scale of the character arc, they had
to change the Draft before staying true to Kevin Garnett in his Debut. Safdie’s have intrusively channeled the layers of Greed
through the character arc of Howard. He is somehow attached with the strings
that connect several tones of his visual narrative, a person who is obsessed
with the flavor of Betting business and eventually the unbearable consequences
that lays his foot down on the ground as he is suppressed under the burden of
Debt, Relation, Family, Business and other adversaries. The surroundings of the character bring
in the edge of persuasion thoroughly as the busy streets of New York elevates the
tension and rush that gives stand to the skin of Howard and his dilapidated
mindset. His skin is written cleverly in such an aspect that reveals the fear, yet
opposes as the character still runs for the pursuit to taste the flavor of
victory, with his soul in stake.  Once the frame starts, it gets its pace immediately as Howard moves his self for a go by selling his worth for captivating the aroma of dollars, that’s sticks him around in the game. This is a crazy business mind you, with the sense of trust, comes the immediate backlash from the powerful forces that are mending the bridge between several channels. Howard is in debt from several channels, that ranges from his own family to locals to Shop owners based in New York. On the other hand, gripping the tonality Safdie Brothers, surfaces the poignant dubious nature of the lead, through the strings the connects the relation of Adam Sandler with his co-worker/girlfriend portrayed in screen by Julia Fox, taking the grip lose with his wife portrayed by Idina Menzel. The
Greed takes it’s stand within the sphere by the arrival of Black Opal, that
form the central tone of the script. Howard chases for money and victory with
sexual satisfaction that urges through the skin of Julia, and the Bet in the game
of Basketball, that runs throughout the screen evoking the sense of gore and pity
for Howard as the unravels the doors consequently. Uncut Gems can be turned as the
fight for power and position in the market (which we all seek for). Howard
chases his dream battling and eventually losing the sight from his life but
still chases the moments through and through. He is turned down by the society for
his nature and obsession, till he finds the chord that fell strong. Breaking
the path, Uncut Gems, stands out for its perfect execution from the starting
frame to every end with the use of metaphor & symbols that lies underneath.
He is centered as a whimsical character who has nothing to alter his destiny, still
he binges on the moment and gives his change even though he has no idea what he
is up to. He wants it, he will take it, no matter what. Adam Sandler who garnished
his skills through his journey in SNL (Saturday Night Live), pumping the adrenaline
rush to his Comic sphere throughout. Till the moment when this movie stood up strong,
that turned the tables up and brought the Actor who finally broke the stereotype
and come out as the big name. Safdie’s made big name with the breakthrough movie
Good Time starring Robert Pattinson, that lifted the stakes high with the award
buzz.  The momentum and the pace were deepened within the opal, (which is considered to be a sign of good luck), where Howard gave it to Kevin Garnett, who was on the verge of chasing the beauty of stones that proved to be a game change for him with the sound of victory and the same led to the disaster in the life of Howard who got ripped off away from the luck that persists within. Somewhere
the obsession proved to be a pivotal line for the lead as he lifted all his money
on Celtics and eventually the luck did work for the man who won the Bet of his
lifetime and now all the worries seemed to be subtle. But what was the cause of
the events was the death of Howard soon he won, though that can be termed a the
peaceful death for him, who eventually lived flavors of life and victory, as
now his obsession won’t be the force of his destruction and the line between
his life and personal attributes eventually will get narrowed down. Just
think if generally speaking, he had cleared off his debt from his millions of
dollars, having a lustrous life, with Julia on the seat yet the rhythm of obsession in the
game of Betting would have continued thus leaving the monotony above the line of
action. This
was my thoughts and perception on Uncut Gems, (it’s not a review), which is now
available on Netflix. Hope
