Jay 37,361 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes it always seemed stupid to me and I was surprised I had some friends that watched it (they were a bit younger than me, though). My younger brother watched it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 But is Guy Ritchie the right person? Can he truly bring the values and struggles of these Arthurian knights to the screen in a way that is both captivating and relevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No, of course not. Ritchie is just an action mixed with 'humor' director. He's super lightweight and has no depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 A meaningful version? I can't think of any either. There's a serious lack of interesting directors with their own style and occasionally something to say in the upper layers of Hollywood. Perhaps Nolan can be bothered to give the Arthurian legends his customary pseudo-realistic/philosophical treatment one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I know what you mean and I get the sarcasm of you mentioning Nolan but it is indeed a modern problem in cinema. Nobody in the commercial sector does layered cinema anymore. It's all flash and by tomorrow we already have forgotten about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We may complain about Spielberg's filmic commentary on history or politics as being rather vanilla and save. But at least he's still making those kinds of films. And they do represent his, rather humanist, view of 'Merica and the world at large. Would JJ even dream of tackling a project so potentially "risky" as Lincoln or Munich were? Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what, if it looks like a cheap TV movie. Viewed now, GWTW looks like a racist soap-opera. It's what it meant at the time, that matters most. I think that it stands up well, compared to more contemporary retellings, and it has Helen Mirren, not to mention the director's daughter. Hmm...Igraine...

These films always have a very strong POV, politically and philosophically, that I really like. As we're seeing, the values he is illustrating are not as vanilla and agreed-upon as you might think.
