...edifying display of people taking control of their own destinies by building beautiful, useful machines. The heroes of Speed Racer and Iron Man could be the garage geeks who paved Silicon Valley with cybergold; or Hollywood's visual-effects alchemists, translating their fantasies into pixels to create gorgeous movies like these. Iron Man and Speed Racer are tributes to practical ingenuity and manual dexterity, to real American innovators like Edison and Ford, Steve Wozniak and Dale Earnhardt - to the grease monkey as genius...

...dominance of the institution over the individual. These questions are juxtaposed against the protagonist’s ephemeral awareness of the countryside—the color of the fields and the voice of a nightingale.Besides their immediate relevance and their showcasing of some of Wolff’s most gorgeous imagery to date—the rain falling outside of the pancake house in “Awaiting Orders” is literally cathartic—these military stories are spectacular because they access the consequences of military involvement through personal relationships.
