It is not at all a dark or depressing or ugly movie while it deals with matter in our society that is just that. Phenomenal though that there is such hopefulness, joy, inspiration, overflowing humour and clever wit in this story. But it couldn't have been any other way for being a look on real life. Last words: know that the language is not toned down and the very hard, very real issues that it deals with are weighty, so it's not for every audience or every occasion. The writer (Ebbe Roe Smith), the director (Joel Shumacher), the awesome actors Douglas and Duvall and everyone involved with this production do not deserve a tinselly Oscar.they deserve a medal! And this movie deserves a shelf at the Louvre! And it most certainly deserves to be watched!Īs for me, I will be grabbing my shovel and go tracing the seam of movies from these great artists in search for more undiscovered gold. It's a film that makes me feel robbed for having watched dozens of mindless one-dimensional action movies over these years. There is not a scene or a shot or an utterance that is not absolutely intentional, loaded with depth and/or intrinsic to both the unfolding narrative and to its poetic depiction of humanity and the state of the world.
This film is a masterpiece it is beautiful and poignant art. I expected it would be a novel, fun, action-packed movie about a guy who's had enough with something of a pointed statement/indictment against our modern urban society. I saw it finally yesterday after desiring to see it since it was first advertised on circuit all those years ago.Īnd what's my synopsis of this semi-vintage movie?.brilliant! So worth it! So much better than I ever imagined it could be! And not outdated at all! It has been 26 years since this movie came out.
