Ridley Scott, a director who has already accustomed us to remarkable films such as "Alien", "Blade Runner" or "Gladiator" but who also was responsible for recent works that disappointed him like "Exodus: Gods and Kings" or "Robin Hood", so every new film by Scott is received with interest from the public, but sometimes with some mistrust associated. In "All The Money in the World", the mistrust (if it exists) is not happily matched in the final result.
The film is based on true facts about the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, one of the grandchildren of oil giant J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer) in 1973, but adapted to the script for the big screen (something evident in the final moments of the movie).
At the beginning of the film we get to know a bit of John Paul Getty before the abduction to live in Italy, and it is from this event that we first meet the three main characters of "All the Money in the World": J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer), Gail Harris (Michelle Williams) and Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg). Gail Harris, the mother of John Paul Getty, is not a "true" Getty as she says, and demonstrates it above all about the intransigence of John's grandfather when the ransom request is made. The film's narrative focuses on this incessant quest for a mother for her son, but there is a wild dichotomy between Gail and her father-in-law.
J. Paul Getty argues that he does not intend to pay the ransom as this would help to make more such crimes happen, especially over him. However this justification is not welcomed by Gail and tries to do everything to recover John, having the help of one of the right-hand arms of his father-in-law, Fletcher Chase.
We watched for two hours a dichotomy between a mother's desire to see her son safe and the avarice of a tycoon, one of the richest of the time. Although his argument makes sense, Ridley Scott's film attempts to put the viewer against the figure of J. Paul Getty.
It is in this struggle of ideas and in the seemingly pitiful figure of the millionaire that it spits through to us how well this paper could rest to Kevin Spacey, the first one chosen to interpret J. Paul Getty. The actor even recorded the film completely, but when the scandal broke out involving Spacey, Ridley Scott decided to remove it completely from the film and replace it with Christopher Plummer. The 88-year-old actor has a good performance and eventually received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, however the idea that this character might be hated (as it seems to be Scott's intention) if it were played by Spacey.
"All the Money in the World" is interesting, has good performances by Michelle Williams (as always) and Christopher Plummer, a captivating plot, and good historical characterization. Nevertheless, the rhythm of the film is not always constant, suffering oscillations that break the dynamics of the film and has some scenes too "Holywoodescas". It may not be the best movie of the moment, but it is of sufficient quality not to suffer from the controversy surrounding it.
The critics are unanimous in the face of Christopher Plummer's brilliant performance in "All The Money in the World", where he plays the skin of billionaire J. Paul Getty. The actor was cast for the role after Kevin Spacey's controversial departure. Plummer had only a little over a week to re-shoot all of his scenes.
The exchange cost Sony about $8 million, and was clearly the best bet to make, since the response from the critics turned out to be quite positive about the work of Plummer, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor Secondary.
His performance in this film earned him the highest accolades from critics, who claim to be "brilliant" and "worthy of admiration." He was also praised for his effort to remake an entire role in record time, and for the perfect integration of the actor, as if Kevin Spacey had never given life to the character.
Veteran actor Christopher Plummer traveled at the last minute to Europe to remake the scenes as the billionaire "J. Paul Getty "in the movie All Money of the World, previously made by Kevin Spacey but had to be deleted at the request of director, Ridley Scott, after the wave of accusations against the protagonist of House of Cards.
And according to MovieWeb, all this complicated transition will cost about $ 10 million more to the studio responsible. The entire team had to be mobilized at the last minute, the producers had to rush to get all the locations again, and the other actors who will star in the film, such as Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams, needed to reallocate their schedules.
Of all the cost, still has the salary of the actor Christopher Plummer, that is in the range of US $ 500 thousand dollars.
