Quintus 5,399 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 He still needs to grow into his looks more before I'm able to take him completely seriously as a mature actor taking mature parts. When does he turn forty?He's just ageing too beautifully; to his acting detriment. He needs some aged facial characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Of course, the truth is, the movie will flop (like his previous films) and Dominik and this poster will never be heard of again.Dominik's films get limited releases, he's an independent filmmaker. Killing Them Softly will surely draw a bigger crowd than Jesse James, though, being more gangster crime than traditional western. Here's a short clip with Pitt and Jenkins. I was expecting the film to be more heavy-handed, but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The Assassination Of Jesse James is not a traditional western, Koray, and that was most likely the reason why it wasn't a big crowd movie.You cold be right about Killing Them Softly though, it could make him some money (and Pitt of whom I suspect he's Dominik's private banker). In any case, it's one of THE 3 important movies of the year for me. The Dominik one, the new Michael Haneke (which played at Cannes a few days ago and I've heard it's incredible) and the new Paul Thomas Anderson.

It's a character drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Master is very intriguing, can't wait! I must say I'm looking forward to this. I really like Hooper's work for The King's Speech. And this film looks gorgeous. I've never seen the musical, but the book has always been a personal favourite. Anne Hathaway as Fantine seems very interesting.

A24 4,345 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Leg-pulling aside, there's nothing special about the "use" of symmetry, under a chassis - an inherently symmetrical environment.Which PTA utilizes to the fullest. PTA wanted the camera that was used for 2001: ASO. Then I see this still. A connection is made. Of course, I realize it could just as well be a coincidence (Hmm). It's just that after reading about a specific camera used for a specific film, I thought it was a striking still. I see no real reason why you feel compelled to oppose this. Would you be surprised if The Master exhibited some of PTA's love for Kubrick? Really?! Well, let's talk further when we know a little bit more about the film.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 I would never oppose a flair for ingenious photography; I just haven't seen any yet. PTA is am interesting director, but the teaser didn't entice me. I too need to learn a little more before getting a sense of anticipation. Phoenix is definitely a draw for me, though.

A24 4,345 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think it's the best trailer of the moment (that I know of, of course). Talking about photography, the cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr. is a fairly newcomer. He did Youth Without Youth for Coppola but I never saw that one.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, the lighting in that shot helps give that feel. Judging by the fashions in the teaser, it's set in the fifties or sixties. Unless they were flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they were flashbacks.At least part of it is. I think the beach stuff was supposed to be in WWII, and the brunt of the story is postwar. Philip Seymour Hoffman is playing a religious leader and Phoenix becomes a follower. Apparently the story has a lot of similarities with the development of Scientology.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 If I'm seeing anyone other than Dominik it's Soderbergh and not Tarantino. As I commented earlier, I was expecting it to be more heavy-handed, but still have high expectations. From the two clips I've seen it looks a bit gray and monotone in lighting, little contrast. Should have stuck with Deakins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yes, I have. You see gangsters ... Brad Pitt ... sunglasses ... it's like Ocean's Eleven, right?

A24 4,345 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The tone of Soderbergh's Ocean films is too glamorous and shiny. This is much more smaller and earthy like Tarantino. Can't believe you don't hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The tone here (meaning the whole film) is obviously much darker than that of Ocean's, but from this clip I get a sense of light-heartedness. The one you posted cuts out Jenkins' last line of "Fly coach." It's dry humor. Tarantino goes for more tension and eloquence in his dialogue.Granted this is only 50 seconds of footage from what is most likely a film over 2 hours, so we could both be wrong.

A24 4,345 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well, it's something that can't be proven. It's something you feel or you don't. But if someone keeps insisting that that I'm seeing things, I like to prove that I'm not the only one. There are no reviews that say the character conversations of Killing Them Softly feel like Ocean 11 or Soderbergh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
