“M.A.S.K.” was broadcast from 1985 to 1986. One of many cartoons produced during the 1980s as a vehicle for toy merchandising,”M.A.S.K.” (which is an acronym for the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), was a hybrid of popular era cartoons “G.I. Joe” and “The Transformers”. It featured a special task force featuring an array of characters, led by Matt Trakker, with transforming vehicles engaged in an ongoing battle against the criminal organization V.E.N.O.M. (an acronym for the Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem), with an emphasis on super-powered helmets called masks worn by the characters on the show. Rad!

Everybody knew stories about old Felix Bush. Bad stories. Stories that got worse in the retelling, because they were too horrible to tell. Kids would challenge each other to get close enough to his shack to throw stones at the windows, and then run away in terror. On his rare appearances in town, people would stare and avoid any contact with him.

So, understandably, it causes a stir when he shows up at the local church with a wad of hoarded cash, wanting to purchase a funeral. Rebuffed by the minister, he turns to the local funeral home, but the reaction to his request is consternation. Wanting a funeral home to arrange a funeral would seem to be a straightforward proposal, except for one thing: the funeral Mr. Bush wants is his own, and he wants to be present at it. Before he dies.

He terms it a “funeral party,” to which everyone is invited; and furthermore, Mr. Bush encourages everyone who has a story to tell about him to come tell it. To everyone. In his presence. Here’s the crux of the movie. Because everyone has stories to tell about Mean Old Mr. Bush; but no one is willing to risk his ire by telling them.

You and I, though, as moviegoers viewing Get Low, the new film directed by Aaron Schneider, and written by Chris Provenzano and C. Gaby Mitchell, immediately recognize this as an almost universal desire. Everybody wants to know what other people really think of them; and no one wants it more, perhaps, than a man who has been unjustly condemned and ostracized, all his long life.

Because we do get a sense that the other side of Mr. Bush’s story has gone untold… but that, whatever it is, it’s something that he, himself, is so violently ashamed of that he doesn’t trust even himself to tell it. And so the story unfolds, through various peoples’ subjective memories.

The movie is rendered all the more interesting in that it is based on a true story. In 1938, in Roane County, Tennessee, local hermit Felix “Bush” Breazeale hosted a “funeral party,” complete with pall bearers and coffin. The “corpse” made no pretense of actually being dead, but instead sat and chatted with the “mourners.” It was a much-publicized event, said to have drawn a crowd of 8,000, from far places like Chattanooga (and farther), and generated much notoriety for many years afterward, earning Mr. Breazeale the nickname, “The Living Corpse.”

That’s about as far as the similarities go, of course, between the real 1938 Funeral Party and the movie. The point of Get Low lies not with the events being recounted, but with their effects on the people involved. The experience is made compelling by the pristine cinematography, and the performances by Bill Murray (as the worldly funeral home director), Sissy Spacek (as a woman who shares a mysterious past with the story’s principal), and, most of all, by Robert Duvall, as Old Man Bush.

There is no actor alive who can portray authenticity as thoroughly as Robert Duvall. Watching Get Low‘s Felix Bush on screen, any lingering notion that you are watching a superlative craftsman falls away. Instead, the sense is unavoidable that you are, somehow, being given a window into the very life of this character. It is less a moviegoing experience than a witnessing of events, from a place of rare empathy, compassion, and brutal honesty.
