The 4th wall i mean. In the movie. Not the Berlin Wall.
From what I gather, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but since the US version was done by the same director it was a shot for shot remake. Even the trailers were identical.

Charisma – A Kiyoshi Kurosawa film about a disgraced ex-police officer who heads to the countryside and gets caught up in some weirdness around a special tree. I like Kurosawa’s movies generally – especially Cure, Seance and Pulse – but this was boring and not that interesting.

Mystic River.


Very hard-hitting movie from the Eastwood stable. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins are perfectly cast into their roles, but the real scene stealer is Thomas Guiry. What an amazing performance the man has delivered! Add to it flawless cinematography and an amazing script, complimented by a director who infuses sheer dynamite into his skill.

A must watch for anyone who is a fan of the Eastwood school of filmmaking, AND it is also a must watch for anyone who likes serious, gritty and mind-blowing cinema. Recommended by me to all my HDC mates.

You need to get High Plains Drifter. I know you're into the Leone westerns, so you should LOVE that that one.

I love thomas Guiry. I remember watching Mystic River and not even recognizing the kid who starred in one of my favorite movies as a kid: The Sandlot.

I wasn't saying I disliked that as compared to the German version as i have not been able to find that one anywhere. I'm saying that I didn't like breaking the 4th wall in general. The first time they did it, I didn't notice my first time watching it (I like to watch movies twice, when possible for analysis purposes) cause it was just a smile at the camera. After that I was just annoyed by how it brought me completely out this state of uncomfortable and disturbed that I was in.


SPOILERS:

I didn't get upset by anything in this movie up until when Paul started calling Peter overweight, and disgusting. That just put me on edge, because his character was so polite but so very cruel, even to his friend. After that I was not a happy camper, at all..

Few Dollars More is probably the weakest by comparison IMO, but it's still head-and-shoulders above most westerns out there.

Yep, you need to see High Plains Drifter...it's pretty much Eastwood's homage to his work with Leone, and it's easily one of the coolest westerns that I've ever seen. His character is essentially just "the Man with No Name" again, only more badass than ever.

what exactly is the point of remaking your own film, shot for shot??

Because an American producer will pay you to remake your own film with American actors speaking English for an American theatrical release. Very few foreign films get a theatrical release in the USA. Certainly not horror movies. Sometimes the original director is willing to do it- why not? It's income for them and they will give it more care than some other director would.

It used to be a common occurance in Hollywood to shoot versions of a movie in various languages at the same time as the original. This isn't all that different.

Also helps him push his "message" on people who may not have seen it.




Ghostbusters


One of my favorite movies of all time.

I'm getting more excited just thinking about it.It will blow me away from what you've said.I have something to look foward too "Hes essentially the Man With No Name just more bad ass than ever.:D


The Outlaw Josey Wales.IMO Coolest DVD cover EVER.Great movie.

The Mothman 06-22-2008 09:34 PM
you getting into western phase dante?
i had that a start a few years ago, never died down. you've seen the best so far, but catch Once Upon A Time In The West, The Magnificent Seven, Pale Rider and High Planes Drifter, and for something newer but equally awesome, Open Range. Check out the Sabata trilogy if you thought Lee Van Cleef (The Ugly) was as bad ass as I did.

Eli Wallach played Tuco (The Ugly).

Lee Van Cleef played Sentenza, the villain.

futurama: beast with a billion backs (2008)

thoroughly enjoyed this one. i still feel that bender's big score was slightly better. it could be that this one played out more like a long episode, whereas bender's big score played out like and was written like a movie.

at any rate, it was absolutely hilarious and a lot of fun.
can't wait for more of these. the next two are apparently called, respectively, bender's game and into the wild green yonder.

Re: Dead Man....I'd hold off on that one for just a little bit IMO. It's totally off the wall and insane, and I bet you'd really appreciate it more once you're more familiar with the "conventional" westerns. Just my opinion though...you still should check it out for sure.

Alright,thanks.I will check it out,after I've watched a couple of others westerns.

True.

Like the director felt the need to tell the audience, "don't worry, it's only a movie. ;)".

Made all the cruel things that kept happening more digestible, i thought. I'm not very hardcore. :o
