It was crap
how not to make a movie.
shareI say the same thing about every single movie I have seen in the last 10 years. And don't spoil me please, I haven't seen it.
shareWhy do you keep watching movies if nothing ever pleases you? Do you expect to like this one? What are some movies that you do like?
shareBecause I love films? Cleopatra is my favorite film and I think Vertigo is the greatest and most profound film ever made. And yes, this does look way better than all the crap out there, it features the only talented actor working in films today, Michael Fassbender, the photography doesn't look like absolute shit, and the story seems ok.
shareI'll remain silent about this movie, then. I agree that Cleopatra is a fine film indeed, spectacular in many respects.
Might be dating myself, but I managed to cross paths once with Mankiewicz and share with him my appreciation of the film. He affectionately called it "my little failure". Just goes to show you how humble some of the greats can be!
That's very interesting. It really is a great movie although it took me 15 years to view it as such, before it was just boring to me. But it is gorgeous, and certainly will not be reproduced again.
shareYou can say that again! Not in a thousand Zack Snyder-directed Lord of the Rings clones will we see a vast multitude of real extras, such lavish production design, and so many stirring performances. If you examine the story closely, I would say it's a strong companion piece to Auntie Mame.
Both are great films in their own way, and they share a common thread (not just in the costuming sense).
Absolutely, and the attention to detail, it's astonishing, truly an art.
shareLove Fassbender, but saying he's the only talented actor working in films today is a slight exaggeration...
Good tip. I'll watch that Vertigo.
