商品の説明
Amazonより
かつてメキシコ湾の海底に隠したカプセルを回収しに地球にやってきたエイリアンと、そのカプセルの不思議な力で若返っていく養老院の老人たちとの交流を描いたSFファンタジー。ロン・ハワード監督の心優しきヒューマニズムが前面に押し出された好編で、本作で彼の名は不動のものとなった。
アカデミー賞ではドン・アメチーが助演男優賞、そして特殊効果賞を受賞。そのほか、ウィルフォード・ブリムリーやヒューム・クローニンなど、往年の名優たちのユーモラスな共演も大いに見どころだ。ジェームズ・ホーナーの壮大かつ慈愛に満ちた楽曲の数々もすばらしい。続編『コクーン2 遥かなる地球』も製作された。(的田也寸志)

大昔、私が相当幼い頃テレビのロードショーで訳も解らず観ていた記憶があり、たまたまアマゾンで映画の名前を聞いて懐かしくなりヤフオクで購入しました。30年以上ぶりに観てみた感想はクソ過ぎて金返せ映画でした。星一個たりともつけたくないが、一個は付けなければならないから付けます(本当は星0個です)映画は人各々好みはありますからね、、無駄金だった(;'д`)

最近、ちょっとした機会があり鑑賞することになりました。子供の頃、映画館で鑑賞したときは、特集効果による派手な演出を期待していたこともあり、残念な気持ちで映画館を後にした記憶しかなく、どんな物語だったかすら忘れていましたが、大人になって改めて鑑賞してみると、心優しい映画だなと、物語の良さに感動しました。年老いた往年のスターのベテランの演技力によってグイグイと画面に引き込まれます。老人ホームを舞台にした科学空想ものを、ロンハワード監督らしく優しくて心温まる演出で描いています。老人ホームという閉鎖された空間のイメージと、広く豊かな海や広大な宇宙という広い空間のイメージが絶妙に絡み合いあい、老人を通して、愛しみと未来への希望が描かれています。心身が疲れているときに鑑賞したら、恐らく涙腺が崩壊するでしょう。心が豊かになるような物語です。今や大御所のロンハワード監督の初期の名作ですね。

近年の侵略系宇宙人ものと違い、優しい宇宙人が出てきてほっとします。老人達の役者も名優揃いでヒューム・クローニンとジェシカ・タンディは実生活でも夫婦で「
ニューヨーク東8番街の奇跡」や「白い犬とワルツを」でも老夫婦役で共演されていました。宇宙人リーダー役のブライアン・デネヒーは「ランボー」第一作の意地悪な警察署長役が有名ですね。「コクーン」は色々な年代の方に観て欲しいSFファンタジー映画だと思います。

老人問題+SF映画。
年齢とともにその切実さを感じる作品かと思います。
エイリアンがなかなか友好的で人間よりも 良心的でよかったです。

A mild-mannered science fiction movie, where nothing gets blown up
2014年3月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
COCOON is a mild-mannered science fiction movie taking place in the vicinity of an old folks home somewhere along the coast of Florida. The main characters have plenty of "star power," and these include Don Ameche, Hume Cronyn, Brian Dennehy, Maureen Stapleton, and Jessica Tandy. Some of these names are "household words" for people familiar with the history of American cinema and television, and so there is no point in reiterating what is already common knowledge. That said, I have admired Mr. Dennehy's role in the movie, NEVER CRY WOLF, and I have admired Don Ameche's role in THE STORY OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL.
THE PLOT. This is not a Twilight-Zone story with a surprise ending, and so I will go ahead and tell elements of the entire story. COCOON is more about character-development, and about making decisions along life's pathway. The story begins when some ordinary-looking visitor (actually aliens) approach a young boat-rental operator with a need to rent a boat for a month. They rent the boat, and spend their time busily plucking large moss-covered boulders from a sunken hiding place, and transporting them to an indoor swimming pool near an old folks home. Anybody who has seen INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (the black and white version, not the stupid color version) will easily guess what is inside the boulders. The viewer is exposed to humorous episodes and also not-so-humorous episodes of the old folks home residents coming to terms with their dwindling health, weakening eyesight, and threat to their mortality. As the plot unfolds itself, the old folks discover that if they swim around in the pool that contains the boulders (pods containing ancient, but living, aliens) they will feel younger again. Some of the more pleasant parts of the movie show the old folks playing a lively game of basketball, ballroom dancing at a Florida disco, and even break dancing. At any rate, the aliens eventually discover what is going on, and they soon realize that the behavior of the old folks in bathing in the pool has sapped the energy of the ancient aliens that reside within the boulders -- with the consequence that the ancient aliens lose their vitality and are on the verge of dying. The aliens then decide to replace the boulders in their original underwater hiding place, with the intention of picking them up at a later time. The story ends when the old folks, agree to be transported with the aliens in their flying saucer back to the alien planet.
SPECIAL EFFECTS. COCOON does not disappoint, as far as special effects are concern. The flying saucer is seen only at the very end, but at least, we are treated to a fine flying saucer. It is a standard flying saucer, such as that seen in ROSWELL, starring Kyle MacLachlan and featuring Dwight Yokum, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, starring Micheal Rennie, and ALIEN TRESPASS, starring Eric McCormack, Jenni Baird, and Robert Patrick. One original special effect is that the aliens take the form of glowing lava in the form of a human being, and when they walk around or even sit, brightly colored smoke is emitted from their body. The aliens come dressed in human skin, and a couple of the scenes shows the aliens peeling the human skin off from their body, and dumping the "skin costume" in a little heap on the floor.
CONCUPISCENCE. The boat operator is a young man, and he is portrayed as a likeable sleezebag. He is interested in the female alien, and in trying to persuade her to engage in concupiscent behavior with him, he says, "I am not trying to nail you." Eventually, the boat operator succeeds in engaging in concupiscent behavior with the alien, but on her terms. At first, he is disgusted when he spies through the keyhole of the room on the boat where the female alien stays. He watches her take off her earthling-type clothes, and then he sees her peel off her human skin. As I mentioned, the boat operator is initially disgusted, but he soon overcomes the slight problem that the alien is really made of glowing lava. And so, in one of the later scenes in the film, the young man and the alien (dressed in her usual human female skin) are in the swimming pool together, and the alien emits a glowing comet-sort-of-thing, and the comet-sort-of-thing bounces about the walls of the swimming pool room, and eventually strikes the young man, inducing a feeling of fulfillment. Anyway, ho-hum.
CONCLUSION. INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is similar to COCOON in that both involve aliens that reside in pods. But the plot lines of these two movies are totally different. AWAKENINGS with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro is more similar to COCOON, in that both movies involve old people who are deteriorated, and are transformed into vibrant active folks who like to dance. In AWAKENINGS, the transformation was caused by an administered drug, while in COCOON the transformation was caused by a substance in a swimming pool. I think that both movies -- COCOON and AWAKENINGS -- have comparable lessons on mortality. The old people in the cast are a fine ensemble. It is an ensemble piece. Also on the plus side, there are no explosions in this movie, and nobody gets killed, and there are no bad words. On the minus side, there are several seconds of footage of local seabirds, that is, brown pelicans and egrets. But the cinematography of these avian creatures is not very good. Anybody familiar with the habits of brown pelicans could have provided much better footage, for example, of the way groups of two dozen brown pelicans glide in a straight line just a foot or so off from the surface of the ocean.
