Sinopsis:
- [fuente] "Hombres", dirigida por Fred Zinnemann en 1950 es un drama que representa las secuelas que sufren los combatientes cuando regresan, después de un periodo en el espacio bélico, a sus vidas. Ken sufrió un accidente durante una misión y se ha perdido la movilidad de cintura para abajo. No solo su físico se ha visto mermado, su estado de ánimo se encuentran también muy deteriorado. No obstante, y gracias al apoyo de su familia, amigos y personal del hospital, el ex soldado se va recuperando de sus lesiones. Después de largas y duras sesiones de rehabilitación, el valiente hombre consigue utilizar de nuevo sus miembros. En un intento por recuperar del todo su vida, Ken y su novia, Ellen, deciden casarse. Sin embargo, la vida como cónyuges no funciona como esperaban. Ellen no está segura de poder llevar el, a menudo, compasivo comportamiento de su compañero. Ken aprenderá con mucho dolor que es absurdo aferrarse a su vida de años atrás.
AMG SYNOPSIS: Fred Zinnemann's sensitive film on the plight of paraplegic WWII veterans features Marlon Brando in his superbly moving screen debut. He plays Lt. Bud Wilozek, one of a group of veterans recovering in the paraplegic ward of a hospital in his hometown. His former fiancée, Ellen (Theresa Wright), explains to his physician, Dr. Brock (Everett Sloane), her concern about his isolation and apparent depression since he has broken their engagment and refuses to see her. He counsels her to be patient, but when he decides to broach the issue with Bud, the embittered patient reacts angrily to the doctor's intrusiveness, and continues to refuse to see Ellen. The doctor cajoles the withdrawn paraplegic into the life of the ward, where fellow patients Richard Erdman, Jack Webb, and Arthur Jurado begin to pull Bud out of his spiritual miasma. At length, his sense of hope starts to return, and after seeing Ellen for the first time in months, he begins to contemplate the possibility of marriage. Zinnemann and screenwriter Carl Foreman spent a month in a veteran's hospital researching the film, and Brando lived in the paraplegic unit for a time as part of his preparation. -- Michael Costello
AMG REVIEW: This was the movie audience's first opportunity to see the actor whose legendary performance as Stanley Kowalski had galvanized Broadway in A Streetcar Named Desire a few years before, revolutionizing the art of acting in the process, and he doesn't disappoint. Like many films of the period, it adopts a semi-documentary approach to the problems of the wounded vets, dwelling at length on the exact nature of the obstacles faced by the patients, as well as detailing the kind of clinical treatment, both physical and psychological, that will make them as functional as they can be. While the focus of the script is on the brooding Brando, nearly all of the characters are well-developed, and Foreman sensitively underlines the barely restrained awareness of their stigmatization in the gallows humor which nearly all affect. Jack Webb, light years from his Dragnet persona, is surprisingly deft and witty as the house intellectual, and Everett Sloane is stingingly effective as the doctor who vents his frustration over the stagnation of his patients. But the main attraction is Brando, who brings to the film the same kind of naturalness and spontaneity which had electrified Broadway. American audiences had never seen an actor of such range and power on film, nor one so willing to court their rejection in mining the darkest regions of his psyche for the sake of his craft. -- Michael Costello
