| Re: What was the last movie you saw?
I used to sometimes wonder if Ingmar Bergman had ever made bad movies in his life and yesterday I found out...Music In Darkness. It's one of his early movies and apart from a couple of nice images it's a pile of empty melodramatic poo.
I also saw most of Manhunter (fell asleep a third short of the end, but more because I was tired). I know both are based on the same book, but Red Dragon, apart from the intro sequence and additional material for Anthony Hopkins to ham his way through, seems to even follow the script for Manhunter verbatim. But I liked this one better in general. Will Graham is depicted in a more burned out fashion and not the "I look discomfited because I just crapped my pants" style that Ed Norton had in RD. And the combination of visuals and (synth-based) music is plain better here. |
