why is this movie considered so dull?
I remember the first time I saw this film, I was about 13. It came on late night on a saturday on showtime when most of the great movies come on. 10 years later I'm still in love with this movie. It amazes me how when a story never before really told turns out so beautiful and so in connection with history (the movie gave a perfect background of love to the truth that the island was ruined because of the creation of the massive statues, as well as the birdman competition for control of the tribes)is hardly noticed when a story thats been recycled for years and full of big names and lasts for 3-4 hours (titanic) is given all kinds of raves and awards. I have begun to notice an awful trend in movies that somehow seems both racially motivated and culturally motivated. movies that involve totally different lands or cultures are either made comically or not really seen for the beauty they are unless you throw in a tom cruise or a brad pitt. for the past 15 years, if a movies doesn't have a big name A lister, come from a video game, last 3 hours with 5 years worth of cgi work, is the second third fourth rendition of, or have downright degrading comedy, it isn't given a second thought. are people really so simple that they can mindlessly watch the same garbage repeatedly and ignore true cinema genius?
