Such is the topic of the historical drama, set mostly during flashbacks to the 1930s, as told through the eyes of Gary Oldman in the title role of Herman J. Mankiewicz, who is best known as Orson Welles’ co-writer (or hired sole writer, depending on what you believe) of Citizen Kane’s Academy Award-winning screenplay. The black-and-white film even attempts to shed light on the long-standing rumors surrounding the alcoholic writer’s rocky relationship with the legendary filmmaker and radio icon, but mainly from one side of the story. However, Mank is the kind of biopic that aims, not just to inform, but also to pay tribute to the unsung heroes of a lost cinematic era, if not from one distinct and surprisingly relevant perspective.
The raid on Gideon’s ship lasts for around 20 minutes and has about enough interesting shots to justify half of that runtime. Stormtroopers die during run-and-gun encounters in the Imperial corridors that have already served as the backdrop of several other episodes. Stormtroopers die when Bo-Katan and Koska shoot them while flying on their jetpacks. Mando breaks a Stormtrooper’s neck. Cara mows down a handful of Stormtroopers with the “Star Wars” version of an LMG. Much like the show’s prior episodes, the season finale’s action is colorful, visceral, and tailor-made to titillate the senses of franchise fans who have strong attachments to these characters and their gadgets. When “The Mandalorian” is at its best, such as the Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez-directed episodes earlier in the season, the action stands out because the antagonists are just outmatched enough to make watching the protagonists prevail seem empowering.
Before director David Fincher put Hollywood under the microscope with Mank, he did the same with the contradictory origins and revolutionary impact of Facebook in The Social Network – an exceptionally sharp biopic with the rare pulse of a suspense thriller from an Oscar-winning screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, who is famous for playing with the truth in the most welcomely entertaining ways.
Clooney juggles the interconnecting stories adroitly, never giving away the tricks he’s playing on the audience while spinning the yarn, much of which, at least on the Aether, has explicitly to do with hope and longing. Jones’s Sully is expecting a baby, with the Aether’s commander (Oyelowo), and several scenes aboard the ship feature a “Star Trek”-like holodeck-style technology that allows members of the crew to immerse themselves in virtual-reality evocations of the people and places they remember from Earth.
