two lonely specks in the cosmos pass each other by and irreversibly change courses. not sure why this hit me harder than it has on previous watches but i love the immediacy and working-class detail mann manages to fit into the minute logistics of his thrills, the wounded sensitivity of the character writing (so many wonderful little acting gestures between cruise and foxx who are locked in a moral and philosophical battle as much as a literal one) and of course the stylish mood and existentialism of its constantly on-the-move handheld, digital lowlight depiction of LA at night. chris cornell howling into the fuzzy orange sky almost had me practically in tears! right when it hit midnight i was watching the club shootout, just sublime. happy new year y’all
It's truly incredible how many GREAT movies Tom Cruise has been in. Whether it's a drama like Eyes Wide Shut, or an action movie like Top Gun, and let's not forget a comedic role like Tropic Thunder; he is always in top form. There'e no denying that Tommy C is one of the best actors of all-time. I might not be the biggest fan of the real life Cruise, but as an actor I absolutely love the guy. Collateral is just another great Tommy C movie to add to the ongoing list.
watched the new 4K blu with michael mann's commentary on. don't really have anything to add on my previous review so i figured i'd just let you all know that it takes less than 10 minutes into the movie for mann to start talking about sophisticated counter-intel operations in the offshore world of narco-trafficking cartels at the end of the cold war.
"I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies. Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices. "
Can I just be honest? I don't really know a lot about film. I may talk big about the depths of thematic development or the meaning of cinematic style, but like the rest of us I'm just making it up as I go. But if there's one thing I know for sure about movies it's that I prefer film to digital. I think digital filmmaking is good for little more than lowering costs. I love film stock. Sure, some of that comes…
