I’ll tell you what sucks, The Man Who Wasn’t There![/quote]
WHaaaaaat ?! That movie is so underrated. And I won't go into the "only real fans love it" even if I do think so, ahah. The movie is a huge achievement, in terms of directing (the atmosphere is awesome, I love the slow rythm and the slowmotion shots), cinematography (don't tell me it sucks), the actors are awesome (Billy Bob Thornon ? Frances McDormand ? James Gandolfini ? Scarlett Johansson ? Jon Polito ?).
Now it's your turn, why didn't you like it ? And don't tell me it's boring cause believe me, Burn After Reading is a MINOR movie in the Coen bros filmography. And mostly new audience, new fans of the brothers are loving it. So if you love Burn After Reading, and not this movie, you haven't understood anything in the Coen bros style.
Oh btw, just remember you said you dislike any movie made before the 70s, just replied to that post that your movie education isn't over at all. And I do believe it even more. You probably can't enjoy The Man Who Wasn't There or any film noir hommage from the Coen since you probably haven't seen any film noirs. All the best ones have been directed BEFORE the 70s.[/quote]
I just couldn’t get into it…it was boring. No I probably wouldn’t like film noir. My taste is very limited. I only love a small amount of films and like a couple of hundred. To quote QT: “There’s people who love movies, and there’s people who the movies that they love.” I definitely fall into the second category.
I don’t care about film education; I only care about what I like. I do like some late night European films…I mean they’re good for a good watch when nothing’s going on, The Educateurs (with Daniel Bruhl) and such as that.
I’ve said it before, my film opinion is very ignorant - if I’m to be brutally honest - and probably quite unique. I have went and watched a lot of classics over the years and regretted the majority of them. Wanna know what I don’t like in the classic category? The Godfather, Raging Bull, Apocalypse Now, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Psycho, Blade Runner, The Usual suspects, A Clockwork Orange (after the first half hour), Se7en, The Deer Hunter (it has its moments), Rocky.
What I like: Karate Kid, Pulp Fiction, Res Dogs, True Romance, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, GoodFellas, Casino, Dazed and Confused, Scream, a Nightmare on Elm Street, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Saving Private Ryan, The Hitcher, Stand By Me…
