10DimeBag10 01/24/18 2:40:11 PM #1:	Even in his Killers Kiss/Fear and Desire days they were not bad films. Scorsese, Allen, Bunuel, Fellini, Hitchcock, Woody, Coens, Lynch, Chaplin, Lang, Copolla, Leone, Godard, Truffant, Antonioni, Capra, Lean, Lumet, Tarkovsky god the list is long they all made some stinkers. The closest for me is probably Akira Kurosawa. <cite>10DimeBag10 posted [p:894714904] in Stanley Ku...

NibeIungsnarf 01/26/18 4:00:40 AM #43:	Insomnia spoilers: Nolan sanitized the story and turned it into a Hollywood hero epic where the main character kills the villain at the end of redeems himself for his wrongs via heroic sacrifice. In the original the killer (Robin Williams' character) and the detective both gets away with their crimes and theres no low-stake chase scenes to build tension around the detective-criminal relationship as the film focuses much more on Stellan Skarsgrds (Al Pacino's role) descend into depravity and guilt as metaphorically depicted in the arctic summer light. The film doesn't much care that the bad guy gets his come-uppance at the end, but such generic narrative is inserted into Nolan's version presumably to make it more mainstream. Further, Al Pacino's character is sanitized to stand out as more heroic. Probably the best example is that in the remake in order to fake balistic evidence he shoots a bullet into a dog carcass he conveniently happens to find, wheras in the original he just goes and finds a dog. Nolan also inserts a weird plot point about how Pacino's character may have intentionally shot his partner to cover up his own involvement in illegal activities, which as a base is very interesting and a cool way to differentiate from the original, but the film doesn't use this plot idea properly because there's no point at which its convincingly suggested that Pacino actually did it on purpose. Nolan also glamourized the look of the film which had a very unsettling atmosphere. It looks like any other "beautiful" Hollywood film in his version. <cite>NibeIungsnarf posted [p:894827488] in Stanley Ku...

The film doesn't much care that the bad guy gets his come-uppance at the end, but such generic narrative is inserted into Nolan's version presumably to make it more mainstream. Further, Al Pacino's character is sanitized to stand out as more heroic. Probably the best example is that in the remake in order to fake balistic evidence he shoots a bullet into a dog carcass he conveniently happens to find, wheras in the original he just goes and finds a dog. Nolan also inserts a weird plot point about how Pacino's character may have intentionally shot his partner to cover up his own involvement in illegal activities, which as a base is very interesting and a cool way to differentiate from the original, but the film doesn't use this plot idea properly because there's no point at which its convincingly suggested that Pacino actually did it on purpose. Nolan also glamourized the look of the film which had a very unsettling atmosphere. It looks like any other "beautiful" Hollywood film in his version.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its an expertly made thriller by any standard with excellent performances and cinematography. --- Let me talk to your mother.
