napoleon Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The Departed boooooooooo. i think i'm the only american who didn't enjoy that film. i mean, i enjoyed it... but it was nothing compared to infernal affairs. and seriously, i have no problem against cussing, i believe it's an art form... but still, scorsese needs to learn where to draw the line. the scene where marky mark and martin sheen were fighting in the board room was just ridiculous. "fuck you you fuckin' fuck fuck fuckeroo". i understand they're irish, but still. Link to post Share on other sites

That was the best part of the movie for me. I love seeing smug dicks get theirs. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 An actress best known for her tabloid exploits plays an actress best known for her tabloid exploits. But it's not just a stunt--Sienna Miller runs circles around Steve Buscemi in this movie. She might be the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The depths of man's darkness to the highs of love are all explored in this majestic film. One of the best silent films I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 That's one of my all-time favorite films, period. Top 20.It's in my Top 10 or 20 of all-time too. There's so much emotion, depth, and tension conveyed with nary an intertitle in sight, and the breathtaking cinematography still manages to stun. There were some really cutting edge film techniques used in this one at the time, like the "invisible" tracking shots and in camera double exposure shots. This is a film I could never tire of watching. Link to post Share on other sites

This is a film I could never tire of watching.Instead of melodrama, Murnau composed a sensuous, moral fable of bright settings and emotional extremes. It's about compromised dreams, but also how joy is a state of mind. Too bad his career was cut short... Link to post Share on other sites
Marijn Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 So umm... how was it... Pretty disturbing. I guess I was expecting a sort of Steve James-documentary, but it wasn't like that at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Speaking of "all-time favorites," I was just revisiting Stan Brakhage's The Dante Quartet (1987). It's my favorite film of his--it's as pure and beautiful and evocative a vision of Hell as I've seen. Over the years, I have probably seen this ethereal, scary, breathtaking masterpiece 30 times, but I never tire of it. I wish I could have it on perpetual loop in my living room as if it were installation art. And I think "Spiders" would make a perfect musical accompaniment! Link to post Share on other sites
