In the middle of all the polemic created by the detention of Roman Polanski and his possible extradition to the United States to be convicted for the crime recounted to having supported sexual relations with the minor one of age, happened fact, there releases The Writer (The Ghost Writer) the last work of this singular director.
The Writer is a movie that is based on the novel power in the shade of writer Robert Harris, one I happen of sales. And here the proper Harris and Polanski have collaborated to transform this book into a movie with interesting exposition for the others.
And I say interesting exposition because Ewan McGregor interpreting a writer who is contacted to stop writing the memoirs of an ancient British prime minister, called Adam Lang (interpreted by Pierce Brosnan), and the one who as it is investigating the life of this powerful politician is meeting dark secrets that if they go out to the light put in danger both his life and the stability of the diplomatic relations of the world, is undoubtedly, an attractive starting point for a movie.
The history develops in an island close to the cold east coast of the United States where the politician is lodged along with his wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams) and his personal assistant (and for his position his lover) Amelia (Kim Cattrall).
On having started investigating, The Writer, (who this way calls himself the McGregor personage), it discovers that the adviser of many years of Lang, Mike McAra, who had been the first one to whom there had been entrusted the task of writing the Lang memoirs, and who died in very suspicious circumstances, had come across with the same compromising truths, and finally it discovers that quite this information is in the manuscript that McAra left after his death, encriptada of some form in the hundreds of pages …
Finally it is necessary to say that although it should seem very easy to identify the personage of Adam Lang interpreted by Pierce Brosnan with the British ex-prime minister Tony Blair the producers of the movie, Harris and Polanski have assured that should not be they have proposed to do of this movie a personal attack to Blair if not slightly more next to a study on the power and the leaders.
