Review from the Urbanworld Film Festival
I viewed this film at the Urbanworld Film Festival in New York City. Mr. Wirth was present and introduced the film. He held a Q and A session after the showing. The film has some humorous lines in the beginning and then takes off into a realistic look at the darker side of life. The sound track adds to the intensity and reality of this film. Mr. Wirth knows when to zoom the camera in for heightened emotions regarding character inter-reactions. This film deals with homelessness and substance abuse in an inner city park in a no nonsense manner. It is based on the journal of Tyrone Atkins, a man who documented his own personal struggles. You may not like the subject but the acting and directing are wonderful, you feel like you are right there in MacArthur Park. I feel that the general public needs to know that this film is based on fact and at the end people need to know that Mr. Atkins has become a productive member of society.
A most notable film that comes from the heart
I first watched the making of MacArthur Park, so felt familiar with the characters. Billy Wirth has an amazing outlook, you listen to his story and see a different side to the characters. It was amazing to watch how the whole project came together. The cast and crew appeared to have a close relationship, which made certain scenes more soulful. I really felt for the characters the story is so well told. You have to admire the dedicated team who pulled off this piece of art! It makes one wonder how many people are overlooked because they are simply never given the opportunity to shine. An in-depth look at life on the streets for the dwellers of MacArthur Park, hurtful to watch, riveting all the same.
Great first feature from Billy Wirth
Actor Billy Worth (The Lost Boys) tries his hand at writing and directing and put our a film that gives a great slice of life in a park in Los Angeles. Thomas Jefferson Byrd (Girl 6, Bulworth) leads a great ensemble cast that takes us into a world where crack is king, and life is moment to moment. Some get out on their own, while others are helped out by a blade or a bullet. Byrd gets help by a great cast that includes Julie Delpy (Before Sunset), Jungle Julia (Sydney Tamiia Poitier), and Cynda Williams (One False Move, Mo' Better Blues). Really enjoyable.
Great film, heal the nation Billy
I saw this film at the Taos Talking Pictures film fest April 2001. We viewed it as many as 3 times. Each time I discovered something new. The first time it was the characters and story that filled my heart and soul. Then music, other layers and side plots became more evident. At the last viewing, excellent technique and editing ability were evident. For a first time director this is one terrific piece of work. I look forward to Billy Wirth's next project.
Billy Wirth's talents cannot be matched
Billy Wirth's dedication to this movie is proof of his many talents and I highly recommend it. His involvement in the screenplay, direction and starring role is what makes MacArthur Park a winner! As a result I will look forward to more of his productions.
