Instead, Paterno opens with a shot of Joe in a hospital gown going the wrong way down a white corridor - and transitions to a shot that's almost literally inside Joe head (he's inside a CT scanner, having flashbacks).

Usually this kind of movie will open with a loud declaration of potential: a shot of young Paterno dreaming big, or Paterno at his peak, making a brilliant call. Levinson's film riffs on the usual hagiographic approach to movies about men like Joe Paterno by reversing. This is the story of how Joe Paterno managed to "not know" that Jerry Sandusky was raping children during much of the time they worked together - despite the fact that a Penn State graduate assistant named Mike McQueary saw him in the shower sexually assaulting a child and says he told Joe Paterno as much. Its real subject, its star, is really less a person than an idea: It's the way people like these have historically managed to not know things. The movie feels like it doesn't want to focus on any one person or plot for too long.īut that seems like it's sort of the point. A frightened boy runs away from some bullies. A conversation between a man and his secretary leads nowhere. The film alights on characters in a distracted and fidgety way.
These people all appear in the movie, but they all (even Paterno) feel dropped in and somehow incidental. It isn't about Jerry Sandusky (Jim Johnson) either, or his victim, or Sara Ganim (Riley Keough), the young reporter who broke the story. This choppy, odd, formally inventive film isn't really about Joe Paterno. I confess I didn't expect Paterno - in which Al Pacino plays Joe Paterno, a revered football coach at Penn State who resigned in disgrace after his sometime assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was found to have been raping children over a 15-year period - to take up this complicated point as its theme.īut it does. (In this post, I enumerate the various scripts we use to make sure that we can always have the luxury of not-knowing.) It's clear that this reluctance to know is at least in part protective - not of the victims, but of reputations and structures and ourselves. The Johnny Video Lesson walks you through the process of constructing the Johnny.One product of the #MeToo movement has been the stripping bare of this epistemological framework - this mode of processing narratives about sexual assault that strikes us as just and fair-minded and restrained, but which, in practice, makes it structurally impossible for us to "know" to our satisfaction that a violation actually occurred.
