first of all, it's not even in color.
and where's the widescreen, huh?
but more importantly, where's the CGI and 1,206 cuts-per-minute, shaky-cam cool stuff? and believe it or not, the audio is low-fidelity *mono* -- are you kidding me?
where's matt damon or ben affleck in the writing credits? and how come it's not narrated by morgan freeman?
like i said, this movie is absolutely terrible... and it wasn't even post-converted into 3D.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I gotta say, I actually didn't enjoy this film at all.
shareno worries. i'm a cinematographer, so i love the lighting and shooting... i'm also a fan of mitchum. but unlike practically everyone else on this crazy board, i ain't gonna rip you a new one. movies are just like anything else and personal preference is your right. freedom of choice. i have it and respect yours.
there are hundreds of flavors of ice cream out there -- and i love ice cream. why then would it be wrong that i prefer chocolate to vanilla? i mean, how dull would life be if we all liked the exact same things?
and now some jackass will show up here soon telling us *both* how wrong we are -- lol -- idiots.
I always try to be as polite as I can when I speak negatively on a movie, otherwise people will call you a troll. Personally, if someone hates a film that I love, I don't rip them as long their opinions are valid, even if I don't agree with them.
I just can't stand when people come on these boards looking for a fight and say: "this movie sucks. You're on drugs if you think otherwise".
I could understand if this particular film isn't your cup of tea, but if you seriously don't like it because it's in black and white and/or almost 70 years old, then I would think you are ignorant
shareHey, sam, is that you again? Anyway, I thought this movie was actually okay.
shareI think someone accustomed to color would have to adjust. Try to look at the black and white cinematography in a new way. Many of the scenes were painterly.
The dialog is a scream. No one has mentioned the nighclub where Kathy's maid and her date and friends wete dancing. How cool was that and the clothes.
Jeff constantly refers to himself being in a frame. In Whit's office he is practically asleep, almost wanting to be taken over by someone or something else. He got his wish.
This movie is absolutely one of the best movies of all time.
