"Making love" takes the easy way out ‘Making Love' Michael Ontkean, Kate Jackson Valley River Twin Michael Ontkean is Zack Elliott, a young doctor with a lovely wife, a new house, an old Austin-Healey and a problem. After eight years of marriage, he discovers that he's attracted to other men Kate Jackson (ex-Charlie's Angel) is Claire, his wife She's a network exec who's out to bring intelligent programming to American television. She senses that something's happening to her storybook marriage, and confronts Zack, confident that "whatever it is, we can handle it.” "What it is” is another man, who Zack decides he must be with at the cost of all else Harry Hamlin plays Bart, a gay writer who likes looking at his body and hates lasting relationships. Jackson and Ontkean are excellent They give their parts life, and make the audience share in the pain of their situation. In the confrontation scenes, Jackson brings out a strength in her character at the same time she is denying the situation and grasping for solutions The direction is also good. Arthur (“Silver Streak,” 'Love Story") Hiller ties everything together nicely into a tight, well-produced package that sails along well, even in pretty tricky spots, such as when Zack and Bart kiss (thankfully the most explicit the film gets) After that, however, it gets into rough waters It brings up a powerful topic, then ignores a crucial aspect of it Homosexuality is more than a social issue; it's a moral one as well. Screenwriter Barry Sandler seems to have forgotten this None of the characters wonders whether there are any moral implications to his actions Screenwriter Barry Sandler seems to have forgotten homosexuality is more than a social issue. Right and wrong are reduced to the mentality of one of Bart's lines: “Life is too short to play games If it feels good, do it." I find it hard to believe that our society's morals have crumbled so far that someone considering homo sexuality wouldn’t even stop to question the implica tions of his actions further than wondering if the guy he went to bed with would still be there in the morning Zack treats the decision of his sexuality with less moral thought than most of use when deciding which candidate to vote for To make matters worse, Sandler sees Zack’s "homosexual urges" as part of a mysterious, uncon trollable disease that strikes without notice, forcing him to change his entire life Homosexuality becomes an unbeatable illness, as is shown in one scene when Bart says to Zack, "Physician, heal thyself " The audience leaves the theater with the terrible fear, "It might happen to me!" “Making Love" takes the easy way out and doesn't bother with morality, God, personal choice, or tricky stuff like that Instead, it spends its time telling us that "homosexuals are people, too" and that "homosexuality is a valid way of life." Because it only shows one side of the issue, it comes off as a slickly produced advertisement for the gay movement, but doesn’t really get to the heart of the issue by matt meyer CLASSIFIED ADS CAN BE PLACED AT OOE OFFICE aoo EMU UO BOOKSTORE STAMP COUNTER EMU MAIN DESK DEADLINES: Ads must be placed by 1 pm one day poor to pudbcation Ads that are to appear tr Monday s paper must be in by 1 pm Friday The OOE cannot be responsible tor more than one day’s Incorrect advertising insertion The ODES liability tor typographical errors incorrect insertions, or omissions m advertising published shat be limited solely to the cancel lation o< charges tor such portion o? space occupied by the error It your ad appears incorrsctty cal 686-4343 before 1 pm tor correction in tee next day s issue RATES: Rates are 15 cents par word tor the first day and 12 cents per word tor consecu tive days the ad e rur without change.
