Lawrence Roberts

A woman seeking love that her husband cant give her, a daughter carrying a horrendous guilt

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is simply a wonderful movie. Although there are three men and their roles were critical to the movie, it was more about the three major woman characters, one of whom was a 12 year old girl. I thought the acting was superb, and I loved the desert scenery. A woman has lost a breast to cancer, and her macho and insensitive husband is unable to make love to her scarred body. He seems a responsible and caring father, but withholding sex from his wife because she is scarred is brutally cruel. She is a caring mother of four, but she needs affection and physical love. She finds a Mexican lover who lovers her emotionally as well as physically. His character is not well developed, and we dont know what is wrong with his marriage and why he is so deeply in love with another woman. She tries to break it off, but cannot. Her teen age daughter Marianna finds out, and starts following her. Something happens due to the Marianna's actions that she becomes scarred also - but emotionally, and so deeply she cannot forgive herself. The Mriana and Santiago, the son of lover of Marianna's mother themselves become lovers in an interesting twist that really makes the movie excellent. Marianna gets pregnant, has a baby, but is so hateful towards and disgusted with herself that she runs away from her husband and her newborn baby. She becomes sexually promiscuous, smokes and drinks heavily, and although successful in her restaurant business she is tormented by her memories. Twelve years later something happens that forces a reunion with her daughter, and she has to confront her guilt, and that she has been running away from the two people most precious to her - her husband and their daughter - trying to run away from the memory of and the guilt from what she did to their parents. The ending is not explicit, but my feeling is - well, I wont spoil it. Really a great movie with great acting. Brilliant use of flash forwards and flash backs to tie scenes directly to her feelings - and to really draw the viewer into the story. Charlize Theron and Jennifer Hudson were really excellent.

Deep Emotional Study

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2023

Verified Purchase

Burning Plain unfolds as a non-linear story that seems slow and disconnected until the pieces begin to fall into place leading to a gut wrenching crescendo. This was the first film I saw Jennifer Lawrence in and a couple of years later I saw Winter's Bone solely because of her performance in Burning Plane. Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger deliver powerful and fragile performances as women dealing with emotional struggles. The contrast of settings with the ocean of the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest desert expanses of New Mexico and Mexico form a perfect metaphor for the contrast of characters and the vastly differing worlds they occupy. Guilt, frustration, and having to live with mistakes that can not be undone all converge on the Burning Plane.

Coming to terms with deep seated pain

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

SPOILER ALERT: I really liked the story line: Mom had cancer, had to get a mastectomy, Dad can't make love to her anymore because he can't overcome her disfigurement. As a lonely housewife she finds love in the arms of another married man. The two fall deeply in love but can't leave their spouses and children. Two of said children are teens - a girl from hers and a boy from his. The teen girls catches on that Mom is having a fling and thinks she'll end it by setting fire to their getaway love nest. She does so while their inside thinking they'll run out before anything bad happens, but her plan goes awry and the place blows up too fast with the lovers inside. The teen girl is unbelievably distraught as her plan was never to really harm them. She never tells anyone she did this and carries her guilt for the next 12 years. But before she gets on with her life the teen girl and the teen boy connect and fall in love themselves. Both families are against them for obvious reasons. Teen girl can't stand that she could be happy at the expense of the death of her mother and his father at her hands, and after giving birth to a daughter leaves 2 days afterward, moves to the US and starts a successful business. All the while she can never forget what transpired, cannot forget her daughter and the boy, and lives a life of self destruction beyond work. Teen boy grown into a man, gets hurt at work and send a pal to find now grown teen girl - woman in the US. She reluctantly goes to Mexico but only reluctantly because she knows she must face her pain and abandoned daughter who she doesn't feel she deserves, and heal the relationships she abandoned in order to be able to feel anything in this life except pain. This story line plays out in a series of present and past scenes - not chonilogically, which actually makes it interesting to watch and figure out.
What bothered me is that they used 4 actors for 2 people - the two teens where played by 2 actors and the same characters were played by 2 different people in the story line only 12 years or so later in the story. They could have easily aged 2 actors 12 years. They didn't really resemble each other either, but the acting was superb by all 4 none the less.
Another part I didn't like was that I anticipated the two main characters talking it out at the end and they only give you a glimmer that they are about to do that, and they only let you imagine that they made up instead. I was waiting the whole movie for the reconciliation part and it never came.
All in all a good movie.

Starke Geschichte

Reviewed in Germany on April 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Vorsicht! dieser Film erfordert ein wenig Geduld und Aufmerksamkeit vom Zuschauer. Das liegt daran das Guillermo Arriaga nicht gerne linear erzählt. Es wird nicht alles sofort auf dem Silbertablett serviert. In Zeiten von "Elysium" und "Pacific Rim" kommt das offensichtlich nicht so gut an. Weder das Publikum noch die Kritiker scheinen diesen Film zu mögen. Jedenfalls floppte "auf brennender Erde" in den US Kinos. In Deutschland kam der Film erst gar nicht in die größeren Kinos. Es gibt kaum Action, sondern eine eher ruhige Erzählung, die Kamera zeigt tolle Bilder und wackelt nicht. Der Film ist was die Geschichte, die Bilder und besonders die Schauspieler betrifft, deutlich mehr als sehenswert.

Fast schon grotesk wirken auf mich die Kritiken welche bemängeln, dass die Geschichte nicht wendungsreich aber verschachtelt ist. Oder die welche in der Besetzung Lawrence/Theron einen Fehler sehen. Fehlt nur noch die fehlende Ähnlichkeit von Mutter (Basinger) und Tochter (Lawrence) als Kritik. Schade das die Kritiker bei z.B. filmstarts nicht einfach geschrieben haben: Mir hat der Film nicht so gut gefallen, weil ich gezwungen war selbst zu denken. Da ist mir persönlich eine nicht linear erzählte Geschichte viel lieber als eine verschachtelte und unehrliche Kritik.

Mir gefällt ein Film der eine Geschichte erzählt viel besser als Popcornkino. Diese Geschichte wird immer spannender und entschädigt für den etwas sperrigen Anfang. Die Reise in die Vergangenheit entblättert keine schöne Geschichte. Auch wenn die Bilder und Einstellungen nicht gerade hässlich geraten sind. Die Geschichte erzählt von einem großen Fehler, der immer weitere Fehler nach sich zieht. Am Ende aber wird klar, dass jeder Fehler auch, eine zweite Chance bedeuten kann.

Mir waren einige Drehbücher von Arriaga auch zu sehr verschachtelt (21Gramm). Dieses Drehbuch finde ich genau richtig. Exzellent erscheinen mir Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger und Jennifer Lawrence. Das starke Spiel dieser Damen gibt den Charakteren sehr viel Tiefe. Auch die Nebenrollen sind sehr gut besetzt. Der Soundtrack klingt für mich sehr gelungen. Das Bild der DVD könnte etwas besser sein.

Starke Theron und Lawrence in einem zu gekünstelten Film

Reviewed in Germany on November 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

Das Problem an dem Film ist, er will einfach zu viel auf einmal: hochkünstlerisch, artifiziell und anspruchsvoll sein und gleichzeitig eine einfache Geschichte a la Hollywood mit den entsprechenden Hollywoodstars erzählen. Daran ist der mexikanische Regisseur Guillermo Arriaga Jordán zugegeben grandios gescheitert. Es ist sein Debüt hinter der Kamera, ich kannte ihn als Drehbuchautor für den großartigen, sehr schwierigen und bildmächtigen Film von Mexikos Kult-Regisseur Inárritu "Amores Perros". Jordán ist Künstler des Wortes, Schriftsteller, kein Mann der Bilder, und das merkt man dem Film leider an. Die Geschichte ist viel zu verschachtelt und gekünstelt in vielen Zeitebenen erzählt, um in ihren Bann zu ziehen; bis der Zuschauer das kapiert hat, ist der Film schon fast vorbei. Andererseits türmt er gegen Ende derart naiv und simpel Kitsch auf Kitsch - vermutlich sein Tribut an den Hollywood-Mainstream - , dass es weh tut. Die Geschichte ist vollkommen unglaubwürdig, in jedem Detail an Haaren herbeigezogen und das halbherzige Happy End, das sich zart andeutet, ist bei der Geschichte des Paares absolut undenkbar. Es kann unmöglich funktionieren und so bleibt ein schales Gefühl zurück. Hier hat sich jemand nicht so recht getraut, seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen als Regisseur und konsequent den Kotau vor den Geldgebern aus Hollywood zu vermeiden. Leider so häufig der Fall, wenn für nicht-amerikanische Talente mit Anspruch die schnell verdienten Dollars locken. Nichts gegen guten Mainstream und sentimentale Geschichten - aber das hier ist einfach nur unecht und unehrlich. Auch der Clash of Cultures zwischen den weißen und den mexikanischstämmigen Familien in Neu-Mexico wird allenfalls sehr zaghaft (zu zaghaft für meinen Geschmack) angedeutet.

Von den Darstellern hat mich vor allem Charlize Theron, von der ich sonst kein Fan bin, positiv überrascht. Sie spielt die toughe Frau mit dem tragischen Lebensgeheimnis und ihren körperlichen und seelischen Verwundungen sehr berührend und überzeugend; Jennifer Lawerence als ihre junge Ausgabe 12 Jahre früher - das muss man wissen, um die meistens verwirrend switchende Handlung zu verstehen - steht ihr in intensivem Spiel in nichts nach. Eine glatte Fehlbesetzung ist die für die Rolle als Mutter zum Teil derart kleiner Kinder mit Mitte 50 leider etwas zu alte und unfassbar magersüchtig und vogelscheuchenartig stocksteif wie ein blondgefärbtes schlecht geschminktes Gespenst durch die Kulissen stolpernde Kim Basinger. Das sie keine gute Schauspielerin ist, wird hier erschreckend peinlich klar und als kinderreiche Hausfrau im Sand von New-Mexico ist sie ein Witz. Daran kann auch eine tragische Krankengeschichte leider nichts ändern. Eindeutig eine Kandidatin für die Goldene Himbeere. Das kleine mexikanische Mädchen in der Rolle als Therons verlassene Tochter ist ein Naturtalent und spielt sehr bewegend. Die mitspielenden Männer gehen angesichts der geballten Frauenpower leider etwas unter. Heimliche Hauptdarstellerin ist die karge, wüstenartige Landschaft von Neu-Mexiko. Da kommt streckenweise Italo-Western-Stimmung auf.

Unterm Strich vergeigt, wegen der interessanten Ansätze und den beiden großartigen Damen Theron und Lawrence dennoch drei Sterne (-). Für einen gemütlichen Filmabend definitiv ebensowenig geeignet wie als Arthouse-Augenschmaus.
