The pretentiousium
Open ranges, empty script
No new trails to be found
No new roads on a highway
Dead poems to the ground
Hollow's not necessarily deep, brother
And slow's not profound, me mate
The tale of the peacock
Disguised as a hound
You understand that pretentiousism is not a word?
shareDuly noted, Captain Obvious!
shareWell it can't have been that obvious to you captain pretentiousium
shareHehe.Made me laugh,there.That comment was more entertaining for me than the whole movie.
shareSorry you didn't like it, but I'm not sure how the film could be accused of being pretentious.🐭
shareI thought he made that pretty clear. Slow empty scenes with very little happening does not make a film profound, yet the filmmaker clearly thinks they do. So yes, the movie is pretentious.
It's a pretty simple story, but there's very little depth to the characters. Ray Winstone's part of the film is the more interesting side of it, but his whole role is to wait for Guy Pearce to come back. Whenever we return to Guy Pearce's character nothing blooming happens! It's just the older brother getting all emotional about sunsets, which quite frankly left me thoroughly unmoved because Danny Huston's role is as flat as a pancake.
I don't think you know what the word "pretentious" means, sorry. Or has the director said that this movie is "profound" in any way? I doubt it. It's a slow and atmospheric film, sure, but pretentious? What the hell are you talking about?
