En un lugar del corazón (Places in the heart) 1984

Aclamada por los críticos de todo el mundo y reconocida con un Premio de la Academia (Sally Field, ganadora del Oscar 1985 a la Mejor Actriz por En un lugar del Corazón). EN UN LUGAR DEL CORAZÓN es la emocionante y conmovedora historia de Edna Spalding (Sally Field), una mujer tenaz que se enfrenta sin temor a las dificultades más extremas. Pero, como recuerda el director y guionista Robert Benton, es también un retrato de una época, de un lugar y de su gente. Son los años 30 en Waxahachíe, Tejas. El Sr. Will (John Malkovich), un huésped ciego que ve muy claro el fanatismo de su época... Moze (Danny Glover), un hombre negro que sabe demasiado, incluyendo su sitio en una dudad sureña dominada por los blancos, Wayne (Ed Harris), Margaret (Lindsay Crouse) y Viola (Amy Madigan), forman parte de un ambiente de profunda depresión que lo envuelve todo. Atrapados en un triángulo de adulterio que amenaza la unión de dos matrimonios, intentan sobrevivir a sus circunstancias. Personajes inolvidables que dejan una impresión imborrable de la fe, el valor, el amor y, sobretodo, de la lucha.


Set in 1935 Waxahachie, Texas, PLACES IN THE HEART tells a story -- not unlike the familiar story told by the film "It's A Wonderful Life" -- of the delicate balance one life can exert upon so many others. When Sheriff Royce Spalding is accidentally killed by a drunken gunman, his wife, Edna, is suddenly thrust into the role of provider for her two small children, Frank and Possum. Then "Mose," an out-of-work black man begging for every meal in the racist South of the Depression era, happens along with a scheme to plant cotton on her forty acres. It is the only chance Edna has to keep her family together. Meanwhile, Mr. Denby, of the bank which owns the mortgage on the farm, is quick to extend a "hand of charity" to Mrs. Spalding by depositing his blind brother-in-law (Mr. Will) with her for safekeeping. Margaret, Edna's sister and a local "beauty operator," is unable to provide much help; her beauty shop is all that stands between herself, her philandering husband, and a small daughter on one side and poverty on the other. A tornado offers their first challenge. Emerging from the storm cellar, blind Mr. Will asks "How bad is it?" "Well," Mose responds, "everything's a little bent, but it's still here." Next, the bottom falls out of the cotton market and Edna's only chance to make the mortgage payment is that she be first to bring her crop to the cotton mill and claim the $100 first prize for doing so. In her way is the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan which objects to Mose's efforts to best a white man to the prize money. In spite of the church setting of the final scene of the film, it seems karmic in its implications. Written by Mark Fleetwood
