ADORATION is celebrated director Atom Egoyans twelfth feature film. It is woven with the • common threads that appear in much of his work: the differences between appearance and • reality; and the subjective nature of truth; prismatic, fragmented structures; multiple time frames • and points of view; rich and complex characters; and the dynamics of family. • Egoyan has long been interested in the concept of communication and the role of technology in • our lives. In ADORATION, Egoyan explores intimacy and the nature of our relationship to media • and technology, and its effect on the construction of personal identity. • One of the original inspirations for the film came from a 1986 news story Egoyan had read about • a Jordanian man who sent his pregnant Irish girlfriend on an El Al flight with a bomb in her • handbag, of which she had no knowledge until security found it. • The story always struck me because it was one of the first examples of how extreme • a terrorist act could be and how one could turn someone close into an abstraction— • not only his fiancée but also an unborn child. I came across the story again in 2006 • and began to wonder about the child and the legacy of being raised knowing what • your father had done. • The ensemble piece follows Simon, a high school student who uses the Internet to misrepresent • himself as a figure from recent history (the unborn child), and draws a group of schoolmates and • survivors into a community of people mourning a tragedy that never happened. The story shifts • between a foiled terrorist plot and its unexpected repercussions on the lives of three • contemporary characters living in Toronto. • In many ways, Adoration is about the need to find objects and places which give a • sense of meaning, as opposed to the instant meaning accorded to the sea of • responses that Simon is dealing with over the Internet. This actual event of the • terrorist plot began to mesh with the story of a young man maturing in an age of • invented screen names and the creation of alternate identities through gaming • avatars. • Principal photography on the $6-million film began in Toronto in September 2007. Twenty years • earlier, Egoyan was shooting Speaking Parts, a film that also dealt with intimacy and ways • people could connect—at that time through satellite technology and satellite links. • • http://HollywoodPost.com A BlackTree Media Production Thank you for watching!
