I wondered the same thing as you, but wiki made me realize that it takes influence from other Tati films as well.
From wikipedia : "The film draws much inspiration from the works of Jacques Tati; Bakshi arrives at the party in a Morgan three-wheeler which may suggest Monsieur Hulot's car in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday. However, it was not the same car (Salmson AL3). The entire film storyline is reminiscent of the Royal Garden restaurant sequence of Playtime; and the comedic interaction with inanimate objects and gadgets parallels several of Tati's films, especially Mon Oncle.[11]"
My favorite is the one where his wife tells how she cheated on him. The music is fabulous. And the culmination... with her jumping five stories... wow.
"notably Kubriks Eyes Wide Shut"
This is not true. The composer is Jocelyn Pook.
"Not even the greatest Leone film, as that would easily be Once Upon a Time in the West. But you can say it's the greatest western ever, I don't object to that"
I don't understand your logic, here.
And I also think OUAITW is the best Leone movie... AND the best western ever.
I'm with you. I think OUATITW is the best Western of all-time.
The themes are more important. The characters are more interesting (Tuco was excellent, though). The twist is genius. I'm talking about Harmonica's anecdote from his past. Stuff that send chills down your spine.
And the score!... Morricone outdid himself. It's probably the best, the more poignant movie score in the history of cinema.
"He didn't change his personality when he was turning into the monster he eventually became. "
The whole point of the movie was that the painting would change, but not himself.
These films by the same director are somewhat similar in mood : Le Quai des Brumes and Hôtel du Nord. Excellent films too.
Just watched this part, I think you're right. The way the dog lies down is not the natural movement of a dog. Good catch.
One thing I know is that he was a big Charlie Chaplin fan.
"Since the movie never gave a direct answer"...
Dude, he's 100% gay and the movie made that very clear.
"La La Land will win."
Almost!...
I watched the whole thing, it was very interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing.
After the conquest and plundering
of the Inca empire by Spain
the Indians invented the
legend of El Dorado
a land of gold, located in the
swamps of the Amazon headwaters.
A large expedition of Spanish
adventurers, led by Gonzalo Pizarro,
set off from the Peruvian
highlands in late 1560.
The only document to survive
from this lost expedition
is the diary of the monk
Gaspar de Carvajal.
