RandomBlue posted:Saw it tonight and it was very good. Focused a lot on the white nationalist rhetoric of the time which is virtually identical to the poo poo being peddled by the far right and Fox news now. A soul train dance line scene was the single thing you found excessive here? This is a really, really indulgent film. It looked fantastic, and the story had me gripped, but I imagine audiences wont have the patience for most of it.

RandomBlue posted:That was the only point in the movie where I asked myself how much longer this scene was going to go on, so yeah. I enjoyed the ending sequence and the way Spike Lee transitioned into it a lot (our heros are safe for the time being, but there is still evil just outside their door), so that wasn’t really what I was getting at. When I say indulgent I don’t necessarily mean that it’s something that doesn’t have value or that drags the movie down, maybe more that it’s something that a more streamlined movie might use less of (the speech near the beginning, the drunk, the birth of a nation parts, the story bits that follows the explosion, the way the perv cop storyline is resolved, and yes, the dance line). warez fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Aug 10, 2018 |
