PBS doc on Woody...some never seen footage..especially the ones from this stand up days/editing room..the first part covers much of his significant works hence the second part seemed a bit rushed and we can safely conclude from this doc that he absolutely abhors Manhattan/C&M :lol:
Hmm..
Manhattan already known. He even offered to make another film for free if the studio agreed to not release this one. remba personalA pOyittArO?
C&M also.... :-( Why?

^he sounded almost apologetic about some of his movies..on C&M he wanted the story to travel entirely on Judah/morality..felt his part was a compromise to lighten up the script.
Hmm methought it lightened and contrasted. He talks about it like it could have been blown off and the film would've been the better for it. It makes me cringe because it challenges my appreciation of the film.
'Moral quagmires are for the simple guys, I can handle it' type outlook is similar to the superiority, condescension of Allen's character (punctured by Alan Alda quoting poetry). sari vidunga, idhu paththi niRaiya pEsittEn.

I go with WA. :lol2: It's a flawed 'contrast'.
Author is dead. He has no business giving interviews :twisted:
The Kid With A Bike. :clap: Very understated that the greatness might be missed by many.
Kid in this forum, qostins for you.
1) What other films of this director-writer should I be watching?
2) Did you like the way the robbery subplot ended - the fall from the tree and all that? I loved it. I think that moment made the film for me.
3) Do you have a bike?
Thank you.
Serpico
Hard to believe that such a film was made 40 years back. Vintage stuff!! My respect for Al Pacino only grows with the day. My second Lumet film after 'Before the devil knows you are dead'. Any other recos?
Ajay, I yam big Lumet fan. Another Lumet/Pacino = Dog Day Afternoon. Other Lumets appAla pesikkalAm.
But not sure you will like the total lack of background score in DDA. Anyway, its an example on how you don't need music. I am a big champion of this cause for Indian movies.
Oh ok. Then Serpico is my third Lumet film. I have watched DDA. :noteeth:
12 Angry men. Never got tired of this movie.Quote:

Family Business (actually not bad, also with Connery and Hoffman...Dustin)
Nightfall on Manhattan (Garcia's best after GF3)
I still haven't watched Network, but that's a must. And Prince of the city.
I have seen 12 Angry Men and Network - liked them both a lot.
I even liked Murder on the Orient Express.
I have seen Dog Day Afternoon.
Didn't like Murder on the Orient Express. Not a fan of Agatha Christie, nor was I too impressed with the film despite the cast (Connery hangs around a lot in the background).
I recommended Network to an colleague. He liked it and of his own accord d/l'ed DDA and ended up liking it too.
kittaththatta saNdai aayiduchchu. eppadi unakku andhappadam pidikkalaam-nu.
Then he recommended Jarmusch to me. :-|

More normal transition from Lumet's films would be Norman Jewison's films (Alan Pakula another one). Jewison's ...And Justice For All for Pacino fans.
1) Rosetta, L'Enfant, Le Fils, followed by The Promise & Lorna's SilenceQuote:

We understand the complexity of the scene and yet, it's so ridiculously sliced from life, that you find the expression 'slice of life' bastardized elsewhere. The dangers of childhood & of the child, put in to context by parenthood & of the parent, is a recurring theme in their oeuvre, but never at expense of the true-to-life narrative & the singular 'ironic' feeling, the direful & desperate tendencies of the characters who would be reduced to stereotypes in any other hands. There's no annoyance or degradation, only empathy & understanding. Just indulge with the moment, never judge.
3) I did. Did you? But It never had any meaning to me. But to the kid here, it's the only ever material possession he had, that a kid of his age would have faulted it to be more than just utilitarian, an emotional belonging. And this kid's turbulent, destitute nature feels associative with the bike & movement. Ultimately when he lets her ride it, it feels like a big moment.. I heart Dardennes.

Moneyball...
Should be patient to see the whole movie... bt gud movie..
Can't understand what's happening with HW these days. :roll:
'Hunger Games' rakes in $152.5 million . 3rd best opening ever.
Watched Black Swan. Natalie Portman's performance was stunning. A gripping movie reflecting the state of the mind of someone who is so devoted to her art and eventually consumed by the role that she was so obsessed with to have it for herself. The Wrestler was directed by the same director. Planning to catch that sometime.
The Artist finally. On big screen. 3 bucks a piece :mrgreen:
Nallathaan irunch. The pacing, narrative, symbolism etc. worked very well. But something is missing ya feel. May be the 'soul'. The dog was fabulous, best character in the film. Dujardin was superb but annan DDL would have made it even more memorable. Or nadigar thilagam of the early-mid 50s.
Watched TWBB sometime back, during the milkshake and straw scene, for a moment nadigar thilagam crossed my mind.....Quote:

Exactly. DDL should be doing L'Artiste and not NINE. Maybe he's also not a meesical like me..

Shame. Micheal Fassbender :thumbsup: Thanks k-g for tweeting about this movie. Haunting stuff.
The Great Train Robbery (1978) revisit.
Connery, Sutherland, great combination. People remember Michael Chrichton as the guy who wrote Jurassic Park, but he was already an established writer, and director back then.
At one time I wondered aloud, "Why can't they make movies like this anymore?", to which I shut myself up by saying, "hmm...because they already did?".
