One of the all time greats and will still be forgotten
If you love Spaghetti Westerns this Film is for you. If you love creative and dynamic cinematography this Film is certainly for you. If you want to see something which kicks ALL Prison Film's a$$es then this film is for you. If you are expecting a narrative and complex head games to be hand feed to you....watch Bad Boys II. I saw this film in Novemberof 2003 and it is still stuck in my head. The minimalist sets, the engaging and dynamic cinematography just grabbed my imagination. Take the scene where the camera is pratically dancing around various chracters being sent back to their solitary confinement when in mid action the camera decides to go over and see a whole new set of characters engaged in some other activity. The film is reminiscient of all the operatic images of spaghetti westerns and the deep emotions which are told by acting rather than words. Here is another unfortunate example of an underplayed film maker in the world cinema. Of course who can't live with out money....oh that's right Hollywood (that's a whole other discussion board). Great actors, awesome cinematography, and great plot. If only I could make a real film. Just a thought...nothing more.
