Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Ford hasn't impressed me as of yet. Maybe this will be the one then!

What have you seen?

Special effects, slick shots, I'll give harry potter those. but Zoey Deutch was awesome!
This one movie and she won me over as a fan. I would cast her.

Revenant - 8

Into the Night -

Like a significantly less engaging After Hours. Still has some nice little touches that make me consider bumping it up to , though.

Director spent 7 years trying to get that film made.

Duly noted.

I liked the directors commentary, that's where i learned about it.
He also had to cut his own dad out of the film. It was a good commentary.

Searchers and Liberty Valance.

Ford's a favorite, but none of those are favorites of his for me. I'd recommend more along the lines of Stagecoach, Young Mr. Lincoln, How Green Was My Valley, Steamboat Round the Bend and My Darling Clementine as great films and better starting points. I think that both The Searchers and Liberty Valence rely on the viewer having seen many westerns already.

So you are just assuming out of the blue that I haven't?

Not exactly, but I'll pose the question. By many I don't mean 10, more like 40 or 50, of the same era

If you have to see so many films, in the same genre, from the same era, then the movie relies on too much. Period.

I disagree, sorry. It makes perfect sense for someone who was a movie goer in that period that it was made for. Or for someone who loves movies of that period or loves studying movies.

There is nothing to disagree on. It's how it is and the stupidiest thing I read all day. It may help further understand something or see references or analyze it. But if a movie is not good unless you've seen 50 movies in a small enclosed group then screw that movie and screw the director who can't make a movie that doesn't balance on 100 other movies below it.

And well, I watched BvS today, so I'm pre-pissed prior to discussion, so nothing will help here.

Sorry to have seemingly made you angry today, not my motive at all. If you look at my edited post you'll see what I meant.

BvS made me angry.

sorry to hear BvS pissed you off; haven't seen it and I'm worried about when I finally do. I'll probably get just as pissed.

Anyway, I think you'd enjoy Grapes of Wrath. It's a great human condition movie during the Great Depression in the midwest Dust Bowl. When everything dried up and people, in droves, moved out towards California, where, allegedly, everything was gonna be so much nicer.
I remember reading the book by Steinbeck in high school and chuckling over how much swearing was in there and found myself caught up in the gritty world Steinbeck created.
Obviously they had to censor it heavily and change the ending from the book, though Ford did create an ending that became rather famous with Henry Fonda's monologue.
So, it may be something you'd enjoy.

What the hell is BvS? I want to know if I should be pissed off too
