He has this obsession with toxic masculinity in all his films. In "Thief" (1981), the mob boss tells the protagonist he'll "...put [his] cunt wife on the street to be fucked in the ass by niggers and Puerto Ricans". Now that isn't very progressive, is it?>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGODzzqhNV8
James Caan handles the .45 like such a pro in that film. >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htawoJODHA8
>>216022966Low quality bait
What's in your vision board?
>>216022966only based jew director even if he has the skinhead in every movie of his killed like a dog
>>216023101My issue with this film is that his character was in prison for a really really long time, so how did he manage to become such a top tier expert safe cracker B&E man and handle a glizzy like an operator?
>>216022966>Are Michael Mann films problematic?Yes, but not for any inane reason such as the one you're suggesting. There's a sound argument that his movies are actually critiquing toxic masculinity. He's mainly problematic in the sense that most of his older movies fail to connect with the viewer. There is a disconnect between the closeness one would expect to have to the characters and the distance Mann's direction causes. This issue has somehow disappeared in his (fully) digitally shot movies. I think it has to do with the image now being colder and therefore attuned to the direction. But it's also that the more erratic camera handling places higher emphasis on motion, which the intended ferocity of Mann's work profits from greatly.
>>216024136>fail to connect maybe if you're a fag
>>216024131Willie Nelson was his mentor and taught him. He was in prison for a while but also had belushi as a partner.
>>216024136You might have outdone the OP's shitpost with this awful fucking post.
>>216024131>handle a glizzy (aka hotdog) like an operator?How did he learn how to handle a hotdog like a hotdog operator? What the fuck are you on about?
>>216024131His pistol is a HOAG modified 1911
>>216024136This criticism applies more to Kubrick's films. I found it easy to empathize with the criminals in "Thief" and "Heat". There's so little connection with the characters of Kubrick's movies that it's like the movies were shot by an extraterrestrial with autism.
>>216024191Do you mean partner or "partner"?
>>216024994I mean that they partook in criminal activities together, there is nothing else alluded to it.
