One of the most important intellectuals in the American tradition was the Harvard philosopher and psychologist, William James. James cofounded a philosophy called Pragmatism - the basic, core principle of which is "The belief creates the actual fact."
Recently, thinking about this idea in earnest, I came to find it advocated and defended with great zest and relish - not, as might be expected, in some burdensome philosophical treatise but in a movie starring Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland.
This film is nothing if not a vigorous defense of the philosophical idea that firm belief, strong conviction, combined with purposeful action, can make a goal or dream come true - and this is so whether the filmmaker, Marc Forest, consciously set out to do this or not. In the film the playwright James Barrie (Depp) zooms off into intense flights of imagination until, at the end, with his play Peter Pan, he has the audience (as well as us, the cinematic audience) spellbound with wonder. While Finding Neverland can certainly function as breezy entertainment, as a few fun hours at the movies, it also operates at this much deeper metaphysical level.
Similarly, Alexander Payne's great, great film Sideways is a textbook on how to tell a well made story with beginning, middle and end in the true Aristotelian sense. Characters are developed in such detail that we can easily imagine Lajos Egri smiling down on this film from his writing workshop in heaven. Situations are prepared for, are set up, with such care and attention, with such planning, that it blows the mind.
One example: towards the end of the film Miles (Paul Giamatti) eats alone in a fast food restaurant, in a scene the emotions of which require him to be isolated, cutoff, not accessible. Earlier scenes that seemed illogical now make sense - in two crucial points in the film he makes phone calls from *pay phones*, things in booths, dinosaur artifacts. Watching the picture, the question cannot fail to occur to us - He doesn't have a cell phone? He's the only character in the movie, and by now maybe the only person in America, who doesn't.
But at the end, we see why this has been carefully prepared for. It is breathtaking storytelling in the best classical sense, just one of the many great traits of Sideways. One may not ordinarily expect issues of this kind of import to crop up in Hollywood "entertainments" - but in these two cases, at least, they certainly do.
