    I think Dune 2 as much better than the first. Villeneuve and the writers had a really tough job of fitting in a ton of background while still remaining on budget...and fitting all this shit in 3 movies. Sucks, but that's capitalism for ya. The films are a great companion to the books though.

    No way this movie isn't a flop very unfortunate but that's what happens when the marketing is bad and you've lost touch with the fanbase you've collected over the last few decades. Its ironic in the age where no one cares about the big names anymore they are completely relying on just the name power of everyone involved such a shame

    Wait it comes out Sept 27th so we're already calling it? The guardian should never ever be considered a primary source. I'm excited to check it out. Though maybe you should question my taste because I loved Beau is a afraid. Coppola and Costner are making movie's because they are passionate about the art. They are doing it in the way they choose to and I respect that. I saw Horizon 1 in theaters and thought it was pretty good. It didn't blow me away but it was way more enjoyable to me than the new Deadpool or any of the blockbusters you typically see getting theatrical runs. I'm going to see both their new films in the theaters I realize though that I'm a minority. I think we're in an era where film and movies are seen as just a commodity so it should be celebrated when an old master shows up again with a new vision. Its even more commendable when they risk so much to make it happen.

    Part of what.this movie did was to try ANYTHING that had not come before. It was rewriting everything. Hoffman was 30, and he was classified as only good for "nerd" roles. He was unattractive by 1967 standards. Not tall, not Alain Delon, too ethnic. He paved the way for Pacino, DeNiro, Dreyfuss, et al. His humor was too deadpan. There was America before 1967 and America after 1967. Teenyboppers became hippies. Tiger Beat became Rolling Stone. Vietnam went from skirmishes to all-out war. The Draft kicked into overdrive. Top 40 radio went from every 4th song being a Beatles song to every 4th song being a Beatles song AND every 10th song being a Simon & Garfunkel song. S&G cemented themselves as 1/4 of the top songwriters of the mid to late 60s. (With Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, and Hal David/ Bert Bacharach being the other 3). Bonnie & Clyde was far more revolutionary re the country as a whole but The Graduate rocked Hollywood. B&C was dumped into the Southern Drive-In Circuit and.fought its way out and into first run theaters. It was embraced by the Far Left AND Far Right. The cultural.mecca of the world went from swinging 66 London to acid-drenched flower power San Francisco, where the Free Speech movement.began in Berkely (the University Of California at Berkely.). And San Francisco was home to the Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead...and the top 2 Hell's Angels chapters (Frisco and Oakland). Revolutions end and then what is left is gold. No one would deny Hoffman or Paul Simon ever again. And in 1969 came the one-two punches of Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider. Midnight Cowboy was rated X due to its frank treatment of homosexual themes and yet won Best Picture. Easy Rider reached more people, gave us Jack Nicholson in an Oscar-nominated Supporting Role, and drove Hollywood crazy for 2 reasons. It made a fortune and had been almost completely financed by rock stars like the Byrds and The Mamas and The Papas and record biz execs like.Phil Spector. Art from this period is notoriously hard to judge. These people were explorers. Can they be faulted for missteps? Missteps no one had taken before? Should they be lauded for what worked but criticized for what didn't work? Both what did and didnt work were taken in uncharted waters and.in dark. There was no trial run in New Haven or radio-only EPs to see what should be released as a single. Movies, books, and records were born whole.

  • @cwdkidman2266
    @cwdkidman2266 21 день тому

    This movie revolutionized what it meant.to be a leading man. Dustin Hoffman proved he could carry a film. If things appear dated now, it is only because The Graduate rewrote what a rom-com-drama could be. Hoffman's delivery and.tones were vastly different from what came before. Like Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando in the late 40s and early 50s, Hoffman proved he had what it took to be a romantic lead.

    I loved Apocalypse Now from the first time I saw it which may have been the early ‘80’s. Herzog I was introduced to in the mid ‘90’s in a German film class and I’ve seen about 5 of his movies which were all worth watching and had a certain quality to them. I rented Aguirre back then and have a DVD copy on my shelf now. Very cool to see the mad journey in what was surely a hellish world. I stumbled across Stephen Minta’s book Aguirre: The Re-Creation of a Sixteenth Century Journey Across South America (1993) about 2008 and I really enjoyed having the book to further flesh out the story. What’s funny is that I just opened the book to a page with the following line: ‘Long before Conrad’s Kurtz, Aguirre begins to show us the darker side of something that is already ourselves.’

    I’ve been studying this son of a gun for over 30 years so I think I got a handle on him. He was reminding us hey you gotta voice a face and a body down here and that’s the instrument that expresses yourself. To many people close up and hardly see the day of light. He wasn’t saying be a rebel and wear jacket but just be yourself and that’s rebelling against the system which encourages everyone to follow the line and shut up. So the question for each individual is are you really being yourself.

    • @elephantden
      @elephantden 6 місяців тому

      Thank you for the feedback and we agree with what you said. In Trainspotting we really loved the ambiguity in that you don’t know for certain if he gets clean (sequel aside). But it was still so cathartic when he rides that motivation in the end in the hopes that he’s going to change his life. That great monologue takes on two meanings by the end. We had so much fun doing ours and are proud of our shots. We both worked in the restaurant industry and knew a lot of characters that reminded of us of Mark and his friends and the repetition that came with the lifestyle in the city.

    Whenever someone suggests Minority Report or any other work from Philip K Dick my first reaction is "Did they read the seminal work"? As with so many directors before him, I don't think Mr Speilberg could be bothered or it would have been a VERY different movie. Doom was fun - racist, sexist and stupid but still fun. AI was dire and - again, an adaptation of someone who wrote far better books than the persons who adapted them.

    • @elephantden
      @elephantden 8 місяців тому

      We defiantly did not read the book, but probably to translate on screen they had to take liberties. Blade Runner was quite different from the novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep * also Philip K Dick. I can understand being slightly disappointed if you’re partial to the novel. Of course the infamous banquet scene in Doom.. And A.I … that movie deserves a full length discussion. I’m fascinated with how split viewers are on it. Personally, besides some weak designs in the middle (specifically the snatchers for the fair sequence) we think it’s a masterpiece. And maybe that was more due to the elements Kubrick brought to it beforehand.
