I try not to pick apart movies like this but I actually thought some of it was pretty ridiculous. They think they potentially have this mass murderer marksman after the phone call to the newscast, so they fly out in a helicopter and try to apprehend four of them by themselves in the middle of a grocery store. That was their best option to handle it? They were deservingly fired after that.
I agree Wild Tales is a great movie but just because it's the same director doesn't make this any better.
It's not like he was running through the streets in the middle of gunfire. If they got through all of his defenses then what was a bulletproof vest going to do? And he was trying to negotiate his surrender.
I think the reason is pretty clear. She's weathered and worn down from her job/life. The dress scene shows that she doesn't even consider her looks anymore.
But the first film was pretty much the opposite of experimental. It was like if you put a few certain films into a blender and added the Joker. I still enjoyed it and it came out at the right time for it to feel fresh, but if you're going to have a sequel then it seems like the exact wrong time to "experiment." Now they've created expectations for people. If Phillips and/or Phoenix wanted to experiment then do something actually new.
I don't know if he's saying older directors can't make anything good, but more that they don't recognize what's good or not in the same way they did in their primes. I think it scares him that he might make what he thinks is a great movie only to find out everyone thinks it sucks. This seems like a perfect example since Coppola was so passionate about making it and invested so much of his own money.
I don't really see the Don and Roger comparisons when it comes to the actual work. Don isn't "tricking" everyone else into doing the work. That's his job. He's the creative director. He selects the best ideas, tweaks and sells them. People seem to think all of his bad and lazy behavior means he wasn't good at his job but I took it as the opposite. He was so good he could get away with all of the BS. Roger on the other hand didn't seem to contribute anything besides taking clients out to get drunk.
I don't think it's that nothing is happening, it's just that so much of what's happening feels the same. All of the sides make moves and then Mike meets with everybody over and over.
I agree about his reaction. During the first episode I remember thinking if he ends up either being the killer or knowing who killed her then this is all misleading in a cheap way. Though I did have a feeling when the daughter was talking about disassociating that it was going to explain the murder.
It should be done obviously but considering the real killer hasn't been found I'm sure they will find a way to continue it.
He was truly terrible in this. I can't remember seeing him in anything else so I don't know if that's just the way he talks and acts generally, but it made no sense for the role of the popular new District Attorney. In reality everyone would just think he's creepy.
