11:41 pm
those struggling more so than the rest of us. we don't know exactly when they are coming in either in terms and in what form they are getting come in and whether it will getting come in and whether it will get a 1—story payment, across. like i don't know how to get to work. i'm intrigued you know how to get a work down the line. it could have an effect on inflation but clearly people need the support right now. so many people are struggling out there. i had to use a phrase that's well used at the moment politically but heating and eating is what some people are going to choose between. in reality. it's been welcomed clearly and it feels like it's been forced upon the government this week as some people suggested at the flexion of a certain thing we just talked about a couple of minutes ago, party gate. yeah, ithink that's probably the way to summarise it. ., ., , .. ,

11:46 pm
hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i amjane hill and taking us through this weeks releases as ever is mark kerkmode. hi, mark. hello. we have quite the week. we have top gun maverick and i know you recently rewatched the original top gun film. this is the sequel. we have the bob's burgers movie and i confess, i've never heard of bob's burgers before the movie. and we have between two worlds, a drama starring juliette binoche. top gun. we've already booked our tickets, you see. so, there's a lot riding on the next few minutes. so, long—awaited sequel to the 80s hit directed by tony scott, the original sequel is byjoseph kaczynski. tom cruise, who appears to have been
11:47 pm
sleeping in the fridge because he hasn't changed at all since his original incarnation, maverick still has a rebellious streak. he's out in the mojave desert testing jets. at the very beginning, we see him doing mach ten against the advice of everybody eles. he gets called back to the top gun academy in order to teach a bunch of freshfaced new recruits how to fly, to do a very dangerous mission which will be arrayed under uranium enrichment plant and only tom can teach them how. here's the clip. good morning, aviators. this is your captain speaking. welcome to basic fighting manoeuvres. as briefed, today's exercise is dog fighting, guns only, no missiles. we do not go below the hard deck of 5000 feet. working as a team, you have to shoot me down, or else. or else what, sir? or else i shoot back. if i shoot either one of you down, you both lose. this guy needs an ego check. so, let's say we put i
11:48 pm
some skin in the game. what do you have in mind? whoever gets shot down first has to do 200 push—ups. i gosh, that's a lot of push—ups. they don't call it an exercise for nothing, sir. you've got yourself a deal, gentlemen. fights on. let's turn and burn! do you see him? nothing on the radar up ahead, he must be somewhere behind us. well, we're both chuckling. so, here's the thing. so, miles teller is rooster, who is the son of goose, about whose death, maverick still feels responsible. so, there is a personal thing going on there. but the thing that makes this work is as you just saw in that clip, the flying sequences are just spectacular. i mean, they are really, really spectacular. i saw this in imax and i have no great love of the first top gun. i think if you see it again now, you think it's really not quite as good as everyone
11:49 pm
remembers it being. it was quite thin when we rewatched it. very, very creaky. this absolutely delivered what you want from the popcorn blockbuster movie. the flying sequences are astonishing and also, the emotional beats of it. they're manipulative as anything, but they work and i was sitting in the cinema and against all my betterjudgment going as a serious film critic and going, yes! i'm going to punch the air! i started crying at one point when there was this emotional standoff between these two male characters who had an awful lot of stuff going on that they had to deal with and even the sound of some the tunes, a great piece of use of won't get fooled again there. itjust works and no matter how much you try to resist it, itjust works and overwhelms you. the thing i really liked about it was cinemas have had a bad time in the last few years. this is the kind of movie that reminds people why
11:50 pm
they get off the couch, by the go to the cinema, why they sit there on a friday night, bring it on, it's really well done and no matter how much i tried not to be taken in by it, not to say, yeah, it's just manipulative stuff, it is really well done manipulative stuff and it's really great to see it on the big screen. we are seeing it on the big screen, are we meant to reference the fact that tom cruise is allowed to do this at the age of nearly 60 but the women are not that old? there's a few problems around that. the one thing i would say is, tom cruise does not look like any other person of his age i have ever seen. i mean, he literally looks the same and when they do the thing with topless beach sports and you go, how is it possible for you to look like that? i have no idea! whatever age he actually is, in this film, he's 28. well, it's going to be a fun weekend and that's will be all need. we'll need some of that. moving onto the bob's burgers movie. so, this is the movie big screen spin animated tv sitcom that i haven't seen.
11:51 pm
a family running the bob's burgers bar. the bank threatens foreclosure and is a huge sinkhole that opens up in front of the burger bar so nobody can get into it and also there's a murder mystery. i didn't know anything going into this. i thought it was going to be kids thing, you know, bob's burgers. it's much more in the mould of something like the simpsons. and it's really funny. they're are great gags, their great comedy songs in the burger bar is right next to the funeral home called it's your funeral which tickled me enormously. there's a long gag about this slogan of which 80 years of cheap thrills and almost no decapitations. and underneath all the silliness, this is a rather sweet story about overcoming your fears and bonding of families, sticking together but it's a gag a minute and there is a fonziejoke that i don't think anyone under the age of 50 will get. i went in knowing nothing about this and i came out and i'm
11:52 pm
going to track it down because i really enjoyed the film and i knew nothing about it. that's good recommendation. and a french film for number three. between two worlds. this is based on a nonfiction book. the writer who went undercover in the cleaning industry to find out what things are like at the harsh end of the economic spectrum. over here it was published as the night cleaner. juliette binoche is marian, total at the back of her life in paris. goes to a tower nobody knows. it was herjob as a clean is not taken. they say well, it's not just that you take it, it's that we want you to take it. and she discovers that even for a job that lonely, you really have to sell yourself. here is the clip.
11:53 pm
firstly, what she learns is she's been really snobby about working in the cleaning industry. she's been looking down at it and it's very hard to get the job. secondly, she discovers just how hard the job particularly is when she starts working on the ferries, which are really, they are described as a commando operation. you have, the stamina involved is extraordinary. so, part of it is a film aboutjust how tough life is at the bottom of the economic spectrum in this particular circumstance. the other thing is that she's lying to everybody. she's actually middle—class.
11:54 pm
and she's gone in to find out and make visible the invisible. but she's lying to them about who she is. and there are two separate layers of the drama going on and actually, i thought that worked really well because on the one hand, you're seeing just how tough it is particularly on the ferries. the timescales involved, the amount of work that has to be done. backbreaking work for minimum wage. but this whole other layer and the fact that she's being deceitful and that she is somehow almost spying on them and drawing them into her friendship circle and pretending that she's understanding what's going on. but she has this whole other life that she's going to go back to, write a book. i thought it was really fascinating and when it shows you about the world. but also a dramatic story about someone being deceptive about who they are. the theme and the tone very much puts you in the mind of the work. and i think some of the performers
