mrbellamy 6,273 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It's a good one. I wouldn't say it's amazing or one of his very best dramas IMO (though some people are calling it his best since Saving Private Ryan?) but he keeps it moving, just gets a little cluttered in the second half where you start getting thrown a lot of information in the dialogue and meeting various characters for just a scene or two. Pretty talky, overall, but not to the extent that Lincoln was. This has more "cinema" to it. Not as intense as Munich either, though, but Michael Kahn aced it in a lot of places and the climax is actually great, totally worth the buildup. Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance are both really good (though I never really felt like it got too deep into Hanks' character), it's got a cool plane crash and a couple other standout sequences like always for Spielberg. Newman's score is fine but doesn't really feel crucial. He gets a couple montages and the music is quite effective in the climax. Worth seeing.

serdar_askin 6 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thomas Newman da Spielberg filmine çok yakışmış! Gayet güzeldi. Özellikle soundtrack albümde "Homecoming"teki temalara bayıldım. John Williams daha iyisini yapardı diye tartışmanın hiç gereği yok aslında:) müzikler filmde çok iyi çalışıyor. Bu adamların hepsi işlerini çok iyi biliyor ve yapıyorlar. Saygı duyuyorum. Selamlar.

Jilal 569 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It says something along the lines of this: "Thomas Newman made a far better effort than Williams would have made, IMO . The 'Homecoming' cue, for example, is a lot more compelling and profound than the War Horse cue of the same name." Crush him! Make him suffer!

KK 3,307 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 He's there for like half the movie, but he was great. And he's definitely got a lot of buzz and I'm sure that'll get him an Oscar nod. Parts of it are rather good, others kind of pedestrian. I even liked Hanks here. But its still your typical "history-lesson" Spielberg flick.

KK 3,307 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1 hour ago, Stefancos said: Ummm...yes. Supporting actor. They usually aren't in every scene Well yes. I was just surprised by all the hype Rylance was getting, and came out of the film wishing I got to see more of him. In the end, I found the film a bit of a strange story to tell. It begins with Hanks defending the American judicial system like your good ol' Atticus Finch, and then halfway through the movie, this noble crusade is abandoned for an exchange that was convenient for both nations. I get that that's what actually ended up happening, but wasn't quite sure why Spielberg felt so inclined to share it, or what he was trying to say here.

publicist 4,643 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I like DUEL very much. It's one movie where i sat there and marvelled at the blocking and set up of single scenes. Happens rarely As for BOS...i may be too close to the proceedings but i found it a mighty boring slog for what was one of the most suspenseful periods in history. There are so many great stories out there. Tunnels, escapes, exchanges, fates...and Spielberg got THIS out of it? Big disappointment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
