Novel: Vonnegut Jr., Kurt. Breakfast of Champions
Mpaa: Rated R for sexuality and some language.
A image of a fictitious town bounded by the mid west that be burrow to a column of ingenious and a little bit neurotic characters. Dwayne Hoover is a magnificent sports car dealer-ship administrator that's by the brink of suicide and is losing taste next to actuality., Breakfast of Champions chronicles the meeting between Dwayne Hoover, an unstable Pontiac dealer, and Kilgore Trout, an "overly creative" science fiction writer., Dwayne Hoover un venditore d'auto ed l'uomo d'affari pi rispettato e pi ricco di Midland City. A causa di un esaurimento nervoso decide di farla finita e, mentre seduto nel suo bagno con una pistola in bocca, viene interrotto dalla domestica, Lottie, che gli annuncia che i suoi cereali - la sua 'colazione dei campioni' - sono pronti in tavola. Partendo da questo assunto grottesco, si dipanano le vicende di Hoover e di Kilgore Trout, scrittore fallito, che decidono di prendere parte al primo Festival d'Arte di Midland City (citt immaginaria, che rappresenta la stupidit ed il provincialismo). I due decidono di andare al Festival per mettere in piazza il loro fallimento e rinfacciare la situazione ad una societ che ritengono ingiusta, interessata soltanto al successo ed ai soldi. L'epico incontro tra i due, oltre ad amplificare enormemente le loro follie, provoca lo scontro dei loro due mondi, scatenando una serie di avvenimenti indimenticabili per la loro sonnolenta ed ipocrita cittadina. Dwayne Hoover l'incarnazione del sogno Americano del successo e, comunque, sull'orlo del suicidio : qualcosa non gira per il verso giusto nella societ pi opulenta della Terra. Il film una satira pungente e rassegnata della societ Americana : c' ancora speranza ? Alan Rudolph, gi allievo di Altman, ha tratto il film dal romanzo di successo di Kurt Vonnegut Jr., scritto vent'anni fa per denunciare la stupidit e la pericolosit del 'dopo-Vietnam' (sfociata nella corsa al successo ed al denaro per dimenticare il passato). E' in fondo uno specchio esilarante e tragicamente vero sulla follia della vita contemporanea, Americana e non.
