The title of the new James Gray film, “Armageddon Time,” is taken in part from a remark made by Ronald Reagan, on cable TV, in November, 1979. Talking to Jim Bakker—who appeared both eschatologically fearful and, frankly, stoned—Reagan said, “We might be the generation that sees Armageddon.” He was not referring to the paltry prospect of global nuclear war. He was musing on what might come to pass “if we let this be another Sodom and Gomorrah.
Although much of the action unfolds in a minor key, its impact on Paul is all too major; the adolescent mind, as Gray understands, can be a tool of magnification. He himself was born in 1969 and grew up in Queens, so the movie can be read as a riff, I guess, on themes from his childhood, including an early interest in painting .
Matters come to a fateful head when, with Johnny’s assistance, Paul breaks into his new school, after dark, and steals a hefty computer.
I hope Anthony Lane keeps writing for the New Yorker for a very long time. He is a head above everyone else, and the only writer whose texts are reliably excellent and a joy to the mind and the senses. You should compel him to start tweeting.
