You people can't ruin such an awesome movie. And I'm sorry but atm to most people in text lingo is at the moment, we don't all fill our heads with your kind of acronyms.
Incredible film.
a highlight of that film was when ultraviolet - light my way featured on the film soundtrack
its one of the few occassions where u2's music is actually featured on a movie
the other band which doesnt feature their music on movies are the Beatles
No I wasn't suggesting it should look akin to Jesse James, just that it wasn't nearly as distinct as JJ, nor No Country for that matter.
it's characters.
I was trying to write quickly and not spend a lot of time on the blue crack ...
Ah. I knew I shouldn't have asked. Didn't know you were all such big fans of The Human Centipede
Gotta agree with what LMP said about True Grit. It is the brothers' most straightforward film, and if it weren't for a few touches with the screenplay and some of the action you could easily pass it off as being made by any number of other filmmakers. It didn't disappoint me though, I wasn't expected A Serious Man or The Big Lebowski in the old west... though both those style would be quite interesting in a Western. The three leads are top notch, I've never bothered to watch the original but I highly doubt John Wayne's take on the role is anything like Bridges' Cogburn. He manages to be despicable and completely endearing within the span of a minute, but he's clearly a good man that hasn't handled the world in the right way and has his own set of "morals". Damon surprised me here, I usually enjoy his performances but I wasn't expecting the nuances in his role here, he's kind of heartbreaking, and yet a douche as well. Hailee at first rubbed me the wrong way as the cliche kind of precocious child role but eventually she broke out of simply having strong annunciation and actually showed some fire and range behind her wise-beyond-her-years dialog. Carter Burwell's adaptations of 19th century hymns made for a perfect musical backdrop to the film. The one thing that disappointed me was Deakins' photography. Maybe we come to expect too much from him, maybe it's because the last Western he lensed was the gorgeous Assassination of Jess James, maybe the brothers Coen wanted the movie to look very traditional, but it was quite generic outside of a few standout shots (most of which were nighttime scenes). Though I will say that the last shot is quite memorable. The climax of the film was quite exciting and I really loved the chemistry between all the actors and the dialog throughout the film. Special mentions for the great bit bad guy performances from Josh Brolin and the not-billed but probably more impressive Barry Pepper.
The one thing that really surprised me was seeing Steven Spielberg's name listed as a producer in the credits, somehow I missed hearing about this collaboration.
