That's why, when one like this does, you want to be sure and see it. I'll tell you now, it will top my Ten Best list for 1987. John Sayles, who wrote and directed this epic, has done a masterful job. Using largely unknown actors, he has created a series of enormous- ly believable, haunting images. This is the story of the struggle of the cruelly ex- ploited coal miners of West Virginia in the 1920s to form a union to protect themselves from the ruthless mine owners. There is a big, varied gallery of very real, very ap- pealing characters. Foremost is the sensitive, thoughtful union organizer, carefully picking his way through the minefield of conflicting emo- tions. This role is beautifully played with restraint and in- sight by Christ Cooper. But as good as Cooper is, he is upstaged by an absolutely shattering performance by Will Oldman, as the 15-year- old boy. Living in a hothouse of circumstance, the boy has been forced into an early ac- tive role in the struggle. He is a miner, a preacher, a dedicated union fighter. It is a marvelous performance and sure to be the start of an important career for this ex- ceptionally talented young actor. James Earl Jones is the on- ly name actor in Matewan and he is immensely moving in his portrayal of "Few Clothes," brought in as a scab but quickly seeing the need for the union. There are so many touching, terrifying scenes in Matewan that I couldn't catalogue them all. But I don't think I will ever forget the horror of the boys raiding the coal mine and getting caught, or the final show- down between the miners and the company thugs. Don't let anything stop you from seeing Matewan. I'm talking about some of the reviewers niggling comments about the film. Yes, of course, there are small quibbles about how some of the com- pany thugs might be played too broadly, and maybe a lit- tle heavy hand has been laid on a scene here and there. But these are minor issues. Overall, the film is simply marvelous. It has depth, meaning and packs a tremen- dous wallop. There are basically two kinds of movies: the slick, trashy melodramas that titillate your emotions without causing a flicker in your brain, and the in- telligent movies about real people and real life that move you emotionally and stimulate your thought pro- cesses at the same time. If you need something of substance to balance your movie diet, Matewan is it. It's the passionate story of people in crisis and how they res- pond. You should respond by going to see it. I NEWS I Peres Enlists U.S. Rock Stars When Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres was in the U.S. recently, he met with 200 representatives of Holly- wood's music industry in Los Angeles to enlist top Ameri- can rock stars for Israel's big- gest outdoor concert. The free concert, planned for the Dimona area in the Negev next May in honor of Israel's 40th anniversary, is expected to draw about 100,000 fans. The meeting at the Bever- ly Hills Hotel included representatives of such stars as Madonna, Michael Jack- son, Tina Turner, Lionel Rit- chie, Stevie Wonder and the rock group Heart. A surprise guest at the meeting was Gary Hart, the fallen ex-candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Displaying an unusual flair for humor, Peres described the nature of Israel's national unity government. "The earliest example of such a coalition was Adam and Eve," he said with a straight face. "When they realized that they were the only man and woman around, and had no other option, they formed a national unity government and called it paradise. Paradise lasted until the first snake arrived." As Peres left, a member of the audience, which was pre- dominantly Jewish, called out to him, "As long as Sylvester Stallone is in Israel [where he is filming a sequel to 'Ram- bo'', your country has nothing to fear."
