Racing B Y ear of the Dragon' story of Chinese mafia By MARY McWHORTER Movie Reviewer ★ ★★ It would be easy to find fault with Cimino's new film, "Year of the Dragon." For example, the dia logue is tolerable but unexciting. And the film lacks style and humor. However, I liked "Year of the Dragon. ” I liked Mickey Rourke's performance as a Vietnam veteran and New York City cop, Stanley White, who is fighting against organized crime and a corrupt system. And I liked a new ac tress' performance, Ariane, as a reporter for a television station who falls in love with White and helps him try to bring the Chinese version of the Mafia under control. I also thought the storyline was interesting. Like "The Godfather," it shows a succession of leaders to a branch of organized crime. But this film deals with the premise that New York City's Chinatown is the center for the new Mafia, called a triad, which is the Chinese version of the Mafia. Now they are rivaling the Italian Mafia for control of New York City. But I suppose the thing I liked most about this film is Stanley White. He is an ex-Marine who takes what he learned in Vietnam and applies it to the street. He does what we didn't do in that war. He sets his objectives and achieves them, whatever the price. White cares about the problems of the sweatshop workers and store owners who are forced to pay extortion in Chinatown. And yet, ironically, because of his seemingly obsessive commitment to improve the lives of the citizens of Chinatown, he is alienated from friends who mis interpret his motives. White's wife can only see his lack of attention to her and thus, her inability to have a baby. And White's boss and old neigh borhood buddy views White's commitment as a holy crusade to try to relive the Vietnam War. Even Tracy Tzu, the Chinese reporter who agrees to cover the investigation into Chinatown, lacks conviction in her job. And, as a reporter, she of all the characters should understand White's mo tives. But she draws the same conclusion as the others, that White is a selfish and uncaring bas tard. Ironically, these people are the ones who are alienated. They have lost contact with the hu man condition and empathy for the suffering of others. They are the crippled ones. Some images in Cimino's film keep appearing in my mind. The translucent, billowing steam dis appearing above Chinatown's rain-washed streets and the throng of people that crowd side walks but never seem to actually be there. Cimi no's trip to Thailand, where the heroin is pro duced, the natural green of the jungle likened to the soldiers' unnatural green uniforms. I liked the nihilistic images Cimino painted for me. However, some may argue that "Year of the Dragon" is too nihilistic and that White's goals are foolish and impossible. Indeed, the film begins and ends with a funeral. But that is exactly Cimi no's point. We all are going to die someday. So you can either give up now or go down fighting. Stanley White would rather go down fighting. □ a spot* ™. a spo* s Cb C=> CZ3 g g3 © Ch th ea o CT3 £3 C=3 •ea <3 © 1 t£b Look what’s happening at 0 3 ®®® a spDm a ca c=> C=3 £3 £b <3 © 1 £b ca D=> C=3 £3 era a ca <3 © £b ca o £3 £b ca 3 © 1 ca c=> © ca £b ca c= c=> £3 ca £b $1.25 mug of Frozen Margarita all day everyday Just when you thought our food was great We added something new! ca £=» £3 £b ca 3 © 1 Eb Kb ca £3 £b ca n £3 ca Mg «L0HMI)&g[Mg 2232 Texas Ave. S., College Station 696-5369
