Your fans, who are legion in number and gladiators in your defense, we have received your last entraga pleasant surprise, American gangster. Not your best film, but it is a great movie. It surprised us, above all, the perfect setting for the 70 and austerity and lack of effect of images. Your critics have labeled you always effective, cheat. Those who idolize you'll always have defended with the argument that to cheat is to know them. In fact, American gangster film is austere in his narrative, linear, flat, easy, hardly any scenes that dazzle over others, sends the whole story over moments. Who were not accustomed to this exercise you were still sober, and I will cherish. Both Spielberg in Munich like you American gangster have chosen this classic style. Welcome. However, if you uploaded to the altars of the film is not for sobriety but by the baroque style of some of your work and the originality of your proposals. Creator of worlds, great freedom of style, powerful narrative, fabulous scenery, innovation gender ... These phrases define you more than before.
Like all large, have alternated with real shoddy masterpieces. Enter your pitiful performances, I would say Lt. O'Neil (1997) and The kingdom of heaven (2005). When I think of them gives me tachycardia. Other Light, entretenidillas as A Good Year (2006), Black Rain (89) or Shade Witness (87). Others seem very interesting, great exercises in style, as the first of all, Duelists (77) or Black Hawk Down (02). Hannibal (01) do not know where to put it, but I think that earned over time with the first delivery, the unsurpassed Jonathan Demner.
And finally, dear Ridley, are your masterpieces of cinema of all time, no less than four films, in my opinion, would among the twenty best in the history of film: Allen, the eighth passenger (1979), Blade Runner (1982), Thelma and Louise (1991) and Gladiator (2000). Have four masterpieces can boast few directors ( Spielberg, Kubrick, Kazan, Hitckcoch, Lean, Houston, Allen and few others, I think Mankiewicz , Scorsese and Coppola stay at three.) So we're talking about one of the great, and also in full production. The only bad thing is that every time more spaced in time his great deeds, when their beginnings were quite dazzling. I would like this blog readers down rulings movies about bugs . In my view, has not been as Spielberg's Jaws and Alien Scott, simply because both reinvented the genre, a leading him to the depths of the sea and over the infinite space beyond.
What about Blade Runner ? In this blog we have already spoken of this cult film for many, including myself meeting. Perhaps the best film by the most philosophical and existential implicatures has and one of the film concerning the last third of XX. A real still unsurpassed masterpiece.
Thelma and Louise
not won the Oscar for best picture that year because it coincided with another masterpiece, The Silence of the Lambs , but this year we should have named former aequo as interesting are both in their style.
His latest masterpiece is Gladiator. There are moviegoers who have not supported and still basked in pseudo-historical problems and turns to fit the script. That is a movie, you not enteráis, nothing else! Still have not learned that Gladiator is a popular landmark of the past 10 years, behind only Titanic and, in my opinion, much more exciting. He dared a Roman, as before but better made. Second only to the genus the great Spartacus Kubrick . Those who do not support the excellence of Gladiator not even allowed to be moved by the music, which amazed with the initial battle scenes (the best in war movies with Saving Private Ryan Spielberg and Enemy doors of JJ Annaud, these two on the Second World War) and ended up shivering with the tragic end.
Anyway, my Ridley. Continue expectant. 'll follow you into space, the future, the nineteenth century, A Rome to the Crusades, Vietnam, La Provence, New York of the seventies or Los Angeles, 2019.
Take us anywhere.
Health.
