Jerry Maguire [Blu-ray] [Region Free] [1997]

This is not a romantic comedy, so much as a fantastically moving drama about the real meaning of success. Jerry McGuire is the guy who has it all - the big career as a hot shot sports agent, the admiration of many, the dazzling smile, the trophy fiance. But when he acts from the heart in a moment of inspired madness, all of his glittering prizes fall away. He quickly discovers there is no loyalty in either his professional or personal life, but by the end of the movie he triumphs and finds love and loyalty once more, this time the genuine kind. My favourite scenes are those immediately after Jerry has been fired without warning by a backstabbing boss at his sports agency. He races back to the office, falling flat on his face in front of gossiping colleagues aware of his demise, then shows his mettle in a series of increasingly desperate phone calls to clients, trying to persuade them to leave the agency and come with him. When he finally emerges, sweaty and battle scarred into the silent, open plan office, he holds his head high under the scrutiny of the entire workforce. He invites staff to join him in starting a new company, based on good ethics, and he starts by decanting the office goldfish into a plastic bag, announcing 'These goldfish have manners - they're coming with me'. Jerry's strength and dignity after his humiliating and public sacking, is to my mind the most moving scene in the movie - and there are many! This will strike a chord with anyone who has experienced the rough end of office politics. His fightback is tough and compelling to watch. The romantic sub plot is moving and believeable, with Renee Zellweger perfect as the sweet single parent who falls head over heels for Jerry. The ups and downs of their relationship flesh out the major themes of the movie. Writer/Director Cameron Crowe could have happily retired after this movie, knowing his work was done. 'Jerry McGuire' is that rare thing, a modern classic and a movie many others would have loved to have made. Cuba Gooding Jnr as Jerry's prime client is superb and he richly deserved his Academy Award. But it is baffling that Tom Cruise didn't also pick up an Oscar for his astonishing performance. A movie that should be in everyone's collection.

usage personnel

"Jerry Maguire" est une comédie très "années 90", représentative d'une Amérique insouciante, dominée par l'argent et les médias. L'histoire prend place dans le milieu sportif de très haut niveau, où les agents sans vergogne gèrent leurs "poulains" de façon industrielle. C'est un système sans âme, purement artificiel, où le lien "commercial" prend le pas sur la relation humaine. Alors, il faut avouer que le début du film est un peu décourageant, on a l'impression de regarder un feuilleton TV de mauvaise qualité. En effet, Tom Cruise - alias Jerry Maguire - joue un personnage vaniteux à souhait, avec le sourire "bright" à l'américaine. C'est parfois même à la limite du ridicule, sans parler de la photographie qui est très médiocre. Puis... peu à peu, l'histoire prend de la consistance, les personnages montrent des facettes plus complexes... et le Jerry Maguire si agaçant du début, le "winner" écoeurant et imbu de lui même, devient un "loser". En effet, il connaît des déboires, qui se produisent parce qu'il doute... parce qu'il se remet en question, et qu'il voudrait un peu plus d'éthique dans son métier. Or dans ce milieu de requins, il n'y a pas pire que le doute, car vos concurrents en profitent pour vous écraser. C'est donc le parcours d'un homme à la recherche de réponses, et qui les trouve grâce aux deux seules personnes qui acceptent de le suivre : sa secrétaire (Renee Zellweger) qui est secrètement amoureuse de lui, et son seul et unique client, un footballeur mal aimé des médias (Cuba Gooding Jr). Ce trio va donner un tour inattendu au film, et une véritable profondeur, insoupçonnable au départ. On est souvent ému et on rit aussi beaucoup (merci Cuba Googing jr qui est un excellent second rôle). Enfin j'ajouterai que, pour une fois, la version française m'a autant plu que la VO, ce qui est très rare ! Je n'en dirait pas plus, regardez-le... moi j'ai beaucoup aimé. Merci de m'avoir lue.
