But aesthetically it was pretty cool. Kind of a shame that capeshit didn't take this route
It's a shitload of fuck
That's a fair assesment. I didn't hate it but it looks much better than it actually is.
>>218994306Script was just cliché toilet paper and the fact that the visuals are so enthralling and the cast is so loaded only accentuates how disposable the script it. In fact if it weren't a film but a collection of photoshoots it would be an enduring classic. This film showed practical effects were really advancing and could have made a kino future. Instead it dropped the ball where Toy Story and Jurassic Park powered through so now we have CGI hellscape
>>218994691Dum dum here thinks you could do Jurassic park with only models.
Loved it as a child. Would probably still like it now but it's been a long time. also great shots
>>218994691To be completely honest it could actually be more enjoyable without sound.Al Pacino can talk and Madonna can sing but the rest is useless.
>>218992909It suffered from the double whammy of Dick Tracy being the least interesting character in his own film and Warren Beatty being the most bland and non-descript actor in Hollywood.You shouldn't be thinking "When is Madonna coming back?" every time he is on the screen, and whatever clowning Beatty gets up to in his own time it doesn't make him any more charismatic when he acts.If they had changed any of those 2 things then you might have not had such a flop.
>>218992909I miss the campy shit we used to lean into. It's what made western film great. Cynicism is a plague that has claimed more than just theatre I'm afraid.
>>218995960But when we get that Yankee-doodle-dandies through their toys out of the pram and call it "WOKE" .
>>218994767Have you not seen King Kong? All the dinosaurs were done with models and props.
>>218992909I rewatched this 5 years ago the script was fine. It was a little basic and safe but it follows a pretty standard 3 act structure with Tracy kicking ass, then falling on the wrong side of the law like batman and top it off with a standard twist. It's only a decent 7/10 script. Also the showtune montages were peak.
If you ain't for the people, you can't buy the people.-Lincoln.
Making the entire movie in a locked-down camera was such a odd choice.
>>218995825Dick Tracy as a character is pretty bland compared to his villains. Unless he wanted to do a Joe Friday impersonation, no way around that>>218995960Campiness and cynicism are not mutually exclusive.>>218998601AI could have written it. Just did not use the actors available to their potential
