No one sets out to make a deficient film. So much goes wrong, certainly on pictures with heavy logistics. As you know, the matter is whether or not what comes out of the editing room works for us on a personal level. (I think "Wild Angels" is a great film.)<br /><br />Thanks for the notes and charmed opinion!Simon St. Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948457860768548876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805660467400179742.post-75080088567056904062017-12-31T11:16:15.691-05:002017-12-31T11:16:15.691-05:00As it's been said again and again by many movi...As it's been said again and again by many movie directors (and I just heard it again last week while attending the online master class of Ron Howard):<br /><br />Nobody sets out to make a bad movie. No matter the conditions. The aim is always the sky. You just sometimes derail on the way. Once you start shooting, you just hand on for dear life…<br /><br />Dunkirk is a fine movie. It focuses very thistly on key characters and let's see the events trough the very limited and disported vision of these characters, and never let's go. I would say, very well done Mr. Nolan. <br /><br />The film presents us a less glamorous and less hocus-pocus Hollywoodien depraved image of that passage of the war, such as Saving Private Ryan, which is also a fine film but often falls in the trap of "flashy bits" for entertainment for the sake of entertainment. <br /><br />We like this most serious, almost meditative approach you presented us in Dunkirk. <br /><br />Francois AubryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013427142562708250noreply@blogger.com
