How hard is it for people to realize that?
It's like they're too rigid in their film-watching to appreciate a good old-fashioned melodrama involving gangsters and shootouts.
Thank god I'm not a stuck up sour-puss like most of the people commenting on here.
Limit of the Willing Suspension of Disbelief: directly proportional to its awesomeness.
lol I agree with you man.. It seems people can't enjoy a good old movie anymore because they're too stuck up. This movie was really good although it needed more character development in my opinion.
shareIt's basically a comic book movie but with real people. Like they used to do when they wrote dime novels of Jesse James. That's the style this movie is going for.
shareI have a somewhat similar take about the film. As in Scarface, DePalma seems to be making a sort of dark fairy tale here, with larger than life characters in a morality play that requires some suspension of disbelief. No way in heck Connery could have held on that long after being riddled with that many bullets (he'd have been dead right there, in fact) in real life, but neither is Tony Montana's final showdown in Scarface something to be taken at face value.
That said, I still think it's just an okay movie. DePalma can be a little hamfisted at times, and I still cringe at the entire Canadian liquor raid portion of the film.
You are the naked angel in my heart.
