Very striking film. Cool to see Malik’s early work still figuring out his identity. I think however that it’s a story that’s been done before and isn’t all that memorable. I also didn’t really buy the relationship which is kind of the foundation of the story so that’s not great. I feel like if they made him significantly less trigger happy I would be bought it more, because his characters actions get to a point where it becomes laughable and I don’t think it’s what they were going for.
Impressive! Impressive for the time too. Unfortunately in the past few months I have watched Eggers’ Nosferatu as well as Dracula and I have become VERY familiar with this story. It’s a great story but this time around it was hard to keep myself as invested as I could be. I think the score is off for what’s on screen and I think the blocking doesn’t suit a lot of it. The tone that the story has I feel like could…
Always fun! It’s not perfect like I but it’s pretty damn good. I was obsessed with these and they’ll always hold a place in my heart. The cast, the score, the direction, it’s all great. It became iconic for a reason. Classic. Can we make more movies with style like these please?
