Silkwood movie storyline. Mike Nichols’ character creation is very distinctive in American cinema. This different attitude results in the free release of his films and especially his actors on the screen every time. Meryl Streep is a young actress who won three Golden Globes and two Oscars in six years, despite her early film career starting in 1977. Meryl Streep, along with Mike Nichols, always seemed a little more punk. Silkwood is an important Meryl Streep recital with every moment and every word.
Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep), who works as a production officer at a plutonium processing plant in Texas, works like any other employee at great risk of radiation. After successive cases, Karen is repeatedly exposed to radiation burns. After deciding to reflect this process to the press, he becomes an unwanted person and faces serious reactions from others. Karen is determined in this process, but things will not go as she wants.
The important director Mike Nichols, who narrates the relations with seriousness and makes them the subject of cinema as a social phenomenon, realizes an event that has been experienced this time. Of course, a director is not obliged to examine the same subject from different angles, of course, but if there is one thing that I expect to be consistent, it is that his passion for expression does not choose a subject.
If I can tell from the reality of the characters that this passion belongs to Mike Nichols, for me this is a real Nichols movie. The film basically has two locations. A Plutonium processing plant and the house where the main character lives. It is a great success to make the house separate from the workplace. Kurt Russell and Cher are together with Meryl Streep to create the backdrop of another narrative wealth at home.
Silkwood is a 1983 American biographical drama film directed by Mike Nichols starring Meryl Streep, Cher and Kurt Russell. The screenplay by Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen was inspired by the life of Karen Silkwood. Silkwood was a nuclear whistleblower and a labor union activist who died in a suspicious car accident while investigating alleged wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant where she worked.
