Not even when she miscarries and whispers to Justin in a horrified voice of things going on in this hospital that she is positive are illegal or immoral or both. Or in a muzzle.īut we know he will do no such thing, not even when she begins to suspect that there is something very wrong with the presence of said pharmo companies in Africa.
THE CONSTANT GARDENER MOVIE PRODUCER FREE
At one point she embarrasses the head of a major pharmaceutical concern into providing free medicine for a village, and people mutter sidelong to Justin that he needs to put her on a leash. There, she becomes a regular gadfly among many of the wrong people. He doesn’t think it’s such a great idea, but he knows better than to tell her no by that point, and so off they go. He admires her for her guts, and she admires him because …well, because he sticks up for her, and what’s wrong with that? They soon become husband and wife, and when Justin is stationed in Africa, she insists on going along. More than that, they want to understand each other’s position. More than that, he even speaks in her defense, however tentatively, when other members of the audience boo her roundly for speaking out in this manner.Ī heated public debate brings Justin and Tessa together:he the careful diplomat, she the political firebrand. Her pith gives way to venom, her venom to tears, and Justin rather awkwardly tries to comfort her. One day when delivering a fairly boring lecture for a colleague he’s buttonholed at the end by Tessa (Rachel Weisz), a young firebrand with a lot of pith in her for the way England has collaborated with the Bush Administration in the Second Gulf War. Gardener deals with Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a British diplomat who is a decent and hardworking chap but clearly not willing to stick his neck out all that far. With Gardener, the drama is effortlessly blended into the story’s other concerns so you never feel like you’re getting a lecture. I am not someone who insists that a story have a degree of moral outrage to be good there are plenty of novels and movies that have no moral component and are still outstanding drama. Gardener, the movie, also doesn’t need a label to be outstanding-it is a great story, and even a troubling and angry one on top of that. Yes, it’s based on a novel by John Le Carré, and his books are typically branded as political thrillers, but like Graham Greene’s work they also operate as straight literary fiction. The Constant Gardener comes billed alternately as a political thriller or a love story, but it’s really the best kind of movie of all-one that stands entirely outside of any specific genre.
