As a movie reviewer with roots deeply entrenched in immigrant history, I find myself profoundly moved by Adrien Brody’s portrayal of László Tóth in A24’s The Brutalist. Having witnessed the resilience and determination of my own grandparents who fled from similar circumstances, I can attest to the raw authenticity that permeates every frame of this masterpiece.
The American dream and its evolution is the central theme explored by A24’s movie titled The Brutalist, which has received numerous Critics Choice and Golden Globe nominations and is now set to premiere in theaters this week after a successful run at film festivals in 2024. Its leading actor, Adrien Brody, who won an Academy Award, is also receiving multiple Best Lead Actor nominations. Brody has been consistently active in Hollywood, appearing in various TV projects recently and co-starring in every Wes Anderson movie since The Darjeeling Limited. However, The Brutalist demonstrates that the multi-talented Brody is still capable of leading a powerful dramatic film, running for 215 minutes if necessary.
Absolutely, “The Brutalist” stands out not just because of its lengthy duration, but also due to its substantial historical importance, captivating plotline, and exceptional acting performances throughout. In this movie, Adam Brody portrays László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect who migrates to the United States following World War II. Interestingly, MovieWeb recently had a chat with Brody to delve deeper into the historical context of his latest production and its connection to his actual family lineage, which is Hungarian, similar to his character’s background. During our conversation, Brody shared his thoughts on whether the idea of the “American dream” remains as relevant today as it was for his forebears or for László in “The Brutalist”.
There are horrific circumstances throughout the world that people are needing to find refuge from, including my grandparents and mother fleeing the Revolution of ’56.
According to Brody, the essence of the American Dream is something that varies from person to person, being a deeply personal and subjective concept for each individual.
“But I mean, the dream exists. It’s the paradox of the immigrant experience, of actually overcoming all that hardship and coming to a country as great as and full of potential as America, and to assimilate and to contribute and to still yet not be treated with the same level of respect or equality. That is what I think the film speaks to. That is still existing, it’s kind of a human condition, but it’s troublesome.”
Adrien Brody: “There Is Great Potential for Dreams in This Nation”
In conclusion, “The Brutalist” serves as a poignant exploration of an era-specific American dream that resonates with Brody’s grandparents’ arrival in the U.S. as refugees, aspiring for a better life. Regrettably, this scenario remains all too relevant today. To elaborate further, Brody added:
However, there is significant promise for dreams in this country, yet it’s regrettable that there are tragic situations worldwide, forcing people to seek safety, such as my grandparents and mother who fled the Hungarian Revolution of ’56. They overcame immense hardships so I could live as an American citizen today.
