Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I thought it was pedestrian, didactic fare, lacking any sort of vitality or cinematic spark. Spielberg and Kushner at their worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Kushner didn't write Bridge. It was written by Matt Charman and the Coen Brothers. Also, snobby dismissals of late-period Spielberg only make me stronger! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicCobb 194 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Bridge of Spies is probably ranked 11th amongst Spielberg for me, Lincoln 10th. Which is actually saying something considering the man's incredibly impressive filmography. So yeah, I'm team Bridge (only seen it once though).

Then I couldn't stop thinking about it and by the time I watched a second time thought it was a masterpiece. I hope Gilroy gets a chance at making a comeback as a director. Maybe Disney will repay him for "rescuing" Rogue One by financing a film for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's an easy mistake to make. Bridge has little of the Coen's characteristic wit and love of the bizarre. It felt more in line with Lincoln's rather preachy fascination with the legal process. In both films, complex men are elevated to the level of godly, untouchable figureheads--benign orators who always know the right line to deliver at the right time. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,301 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Streep in costume: Wonder how many shooting days this will be? Didn't Spielberg finish Lincoln in something ridiculous like 40 days? The way he shoots, it'll probably be finished in the next month. Judging by that lighting setup, this will feature Kaminski's trademark 70s visual palette, ala Munich. Heavily bleached and overlit.

crumbs 14,301 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I know his style is cliched at this point, but I enjoy his work in period films.

crumbs 14,301 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 "Recent" Spielberg efforts like Minority Report, AI, Catch Me If You Can, Lincoln and Munich are exceptionally shot movies. The mise en scene in almost every shot is compelling with detail. You can tell when Spielberg isn't fully invested because you end up with visually uninspired efforts like KOTCS and TLW, which filters through to the cinematographer. I guess to be fair, Spielberg blocks the shots and chooses the lenses, Kaminski just lights it (but can anyone explain WTF he was doing with the jungle sound-stage scenes in KOTCS?)
