publicist 4,643 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well...the times when an american could direct a movie like THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD are long gone. There are speeches to be made - a lot of them, obviously - and Tom Hanks delivers them in deadpan Jimmy Stewart-style. Seems like hard work, too.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What will there be to understand, really? You'll have Tom Hanks making speeches to say how America is the best country in the world, people will go on a bridge and will get shot, and that's pretty much it.

Jay 37,369 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Meh. I just watched this new trailer, and the commercial from last week I hadn't seen yet. I just can't get excited for this film!The basic premise seems like it should be compelling, yet for some reason all the footage in the trailers and spots just rubs me the wrong way. I dunno exactly why, but I just am not drawn into this movie at all. And I generally like everything Spielberg does. Everything else he's been attached to in recent years seems way more compelling than this one! Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Well, obviously mileage will vary. For what it's worth I like them both quite a bit, I just mean that it basically looks like pretty much every other recent Spielberg drama to me. Don't see how it looks substantially more or less compelling than the others, at least at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I didn't mean literally just the look of the shots, I meant everything I'm seeing. I get the feeling the film will have a decent setup, then a long, middling middle act before hopefully a strong finish.But it just doesn't look exciting to me. Maybe I'll be proven wrong. I dunno!

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 To me it does kind of seem like a cross between the two I mentioned, beyond just the look of course....say, the interior political discussions of Lincoln crossed with the suspense/espionage in Munich. Could be good, though Newman's score is definitely my biggest curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a combination of Lincoln and Munich minus all of the elements that made those two interesting. The BFG can't come soon enough...

Once 605 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I haven't watched the latest trailer, but based on the previous ones I think it looks great.And while I wish Williams had scored this one instead of Star Wars, the fact that he works someone who's not Spielberg makes up for that.

Incanus 5,715 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm telling you, guys: Williams left the project because he realized how big a snoozefest this movie was going to be."Bridge Of Spies, Steven? That's the title of the movie? Really? "We call it Constitution. And that's what makes us americans"? Really? You're gonna have to find yourself another composer, mate!"I imagine that said in soft nigh apologetic John Williams tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 First review of the film is in and it is positive: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/bridge-of-spies/review/About the score: "The sequence is a masterclass in the kind of cool-headed, understated cutting that’s perversely great at ratcheting up suspense – the director’s long-time editor Michael Kahn is in charge – but unusually for Spielberg, there’s no score to help steer our emotional response. (Thomas Newman’s subdued soundtrack first arrives much later, around half an hour into the film." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Bridge of Spies doesn't minimize threat/dangers of war, but it highlights the creeping homefront menace we create in ourselves when afraid.— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) October 4, 2015 I found it powerful & emotional.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Select mix of Twitter reactions: Bridge of Spies is mid level Spielberg. Enjoyable but thoroughly predictable, it's solid adult entertainment @thenyff. Hanks/Rylance strong.— Joey Magidson (@JoeyMagidson) October 4, 2015 BRIDGE OF SPIES has a terrific silent opening, a deliciously written second scene, and then.... ..... .— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) October 5, 2015 It's nice to see an ounce of Coen brothers humor peek through in "Bridge of Spies," but Mark Rylance is the real delight. #NYFF— Matt Jacobs (@tarantallegra) October 4, 2015 The craft on display in Bridge of Spies is extraordinary. Given it's a Spielberg joint, that's expected. Still, it's a thrill to see. #NYFF— Nigel M. Smith (@nigelmfs) October 4, 2015 I'm sure some people will call Spielberg's BRIDGE OF SPIES old-fashioned and patriotic and square, but I really liked it.— chris nashawaty (@ChrisNashawaty) October 4, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
