David Carredine as Americana You know, Carredeen seems to have been a true contemplative philosopher. His acting and directorial experiences show the enjoyment of every second of life. “Americana” looks like a logical sequel to “The Train That Moves to Glory,” “Berta,” and “The Silent Flute.” His characters are people who are superfluous. Thrown out, but not lost their own identity romantics. The more valuable it is to discover each new work of this original master. I wonder how I could not pay attention to this block in the 80s.
In American, we will face the opposite of John Rambo. Hero Carredin has achieved much in the war, but once in the heat of civilian life, he is not at all irritated. Almost every encounter with the outside world can lead to a bloody conflict, but it takes quite humble positions. Nevertheless, our hero spends his time on a completely utopian theme - the repair of an abandoned carousel. He does not like the surrounding reality, but Carredin’s hero is in no hurry to plunge into sociopathy. This is a slow, measured and incredibly constructive movie in its premise.
Watching this movie, I am even surprised how in the 80s Stallone in First Blood did not seem comical to me. Probably for the same reason, Carredina did not notice much.
