Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That famous quote from the story &#8220;The Premature Burial&#8221; leads us to the West Point US military academy in 1830, where a young cadet has been found hanged, and his heart was carved out from his chest.

While the famed writer is often described as quite mysterious and odd, <em>The Pale Blue Eye<\/em> is an exploration into what made him that way, what events could occur that would shape his approach to poetry and literature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people have a very fixed idea about who Edgar Allan Poe is and so it&#8217;s really exciting to try and work out, what were the events in his life that maybe got him to that place,\u201d Harry Melling explained.  \u201cI think that&#8217;s very much what Louis Bayard, who wrote the novel, and what Scott Cooper were exploring in terms of, who is this Poe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan he afford to be more charming?  Is he trying to find his feet?  What is this performance he keeps doing?  Why is he obsessed with telling everyone his latest poem?  All of that territory was fascinating, because you&#8217;re kind of exploring the idea of, this is a man who&#8217;s trying to invent his identity. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker Scott Cooper also depicts a version of a young Poe that is a lot more witty and humorous than how he has been largely viewed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe events that take place in this movie, the themes course through its narrative, ultimately motivate him to become the writer that he became,\u201d Cooper said. &#8220;So that was more interesting to me, to take someone who is warm and humorous and witty, and prone to poetic and romantic musings, and then over the course of the film does he become the writer he became.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader noheight\"><img class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"(L to R) Christian Bale as Augustus Landor and Robert Duvall as Jean Pepe in The Pale Blue Eye (Scott Garfield\/Netflix)\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UzjaRDjoPyLDo3rd1eosvA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNQ--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2023-01\/39574270-8df4-11ed-bde7-29b216077ed0\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"(L to R) Christian Bale as Augustus Landor and Robert Duvall as Jean Pepe in The Pale Blue Eye (Scott Garfield\/Netflix)\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UzjaRDjoPyLDo3rd1eosvA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNQ--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2023-01\/39574270-8df4-11ed-bde7-29b216077ed0\" class=\"caas-img\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\">(L to R) Christian Bale as Augustus Landor and Robert Duvall as Jean Pepe in The Pale Blue Eye (Scott Garfield\/Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Christian Bale, Robert Duvall, the most selective actors in the industry<\/h2>\n<p>A particularly exciting part of <em>The Pale Blue Eye<\/em> is the presence of the iconic Robert Duvall, who plays a Jean Pepe, a Tolstoy-esque historian of occults and satanic traditions that Landor goes to for advice on his investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Cooper has a very personal connection to Duvall, who he describes as a &#8220;second father&#8221; to him.  It began when they worked together as actors, including in the Calgary-filmed <em>Broken Trail,<\/em> and their relationship became so close that Cooper even got married on Duvall&#8217;s estate and they now speak two to three times a week.<\/p>\n<p>This is also a bit of a <em>newsies<\/em> reunion, with both Bale and Duvall having worked together in the 1992 Disney musical film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that Christian and Robert Duvall are probably the most selective, well and Jeff Bridges, of the actors that we have,\u201d Cooper said.  \u201cThey rarely do things unless they want to, or something compels them to, because they&#8217;ve played so many characters in their illustrious careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Robert Duvall] read this screenplay and he said, I want to play [Jean Pepe].  That&#8217;s the part I want to play.  I was so thankful, and for someone who&#8217;s 92 years-old, to have him in another movie was just really incredibly meaningful for me and for Christian, quite frankly, and he loved Harry Melling.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader noheight\"><img class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"(L to R) Christian Bale as Augustus Landor and Scott Cooper (Director\/Writer) on the set of The Pale Blue Eye.

(Scott Garfield\/Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>&#8216;I think he tries to wrestle more with chaos&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>With this being the third movie Christian Bale has done with Scott Cooper, the actor highlighted that what makes the filmmaker a particularly attractive collaborator is how he approaches the chaos of a story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing you have to do as an actor is try to understand a director, what they&#8217;re going for, what their style is, and adapt to them,\u201d Bale explained.  \u201cEthics of revenge are something that had been very dominant in the three films that we have made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get one director who looks at life and the chaos of it and the randomness of it, and they say, great the way to deal with it is you surrender to it, you accept it, and you&#8217;ll get a certain type of movie coming out of that.  Then with Scott, I think he tries to wrestle more with chaos.  He likes to be precise.  He likes to articulate himself well, and he likes to try to find order out of this chaos, and to really strive to find an answer.  I know that about him and I enjoy that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Cooper&#8217;s precision as a filmmaker, and example of that is in the breadcrumbs left throughout the film that lead to the result of this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a movie that requires careful viewing and probably will be all the richer upon a second viewing, all of the breadcrumbs are there,\u201d Cooper said.  \u201cEvery scene, every character that interacts in the movie, or is alone, everything is leading to the reveal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen one happens to see this movie, a second time you&#8217;ll say, oh my gosh, how did I not put this together?  It was all there.  But it took a great deal of consideration and a great deal of detail from everybody involved, from screenplay to the actors, to production design, props, everything was a real team effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re certainly on board with Cooper&#8217;s recommendation to give <em>The Pale Blue Eye<\/em> a second viewing.  This movie is quite striking in its visuals, with the twists and turn in the plot keeping you on your toes, but it&#8217;s easy to miss some of the clever clues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a grim murder-mystery, Christian Bale&#8217;s character is hired to find a killer, with the help of a young Edgar Allan Poe, in Scott Cooper&#8217;s thriller The Pale Blue Eye (now available on Netflix).
