LA Confidential is a great, great movie but it's barely discussed here in /tv/
>>223221496>Dude police le corrupt Theres nothing good about it
good acting but everything else is shit
I can't really remember it but I really liked it.
>>223221496I actually think the opposite and that it's overrated, one of the weaker neo-noirs I've watched
crime fiction like Ellroy is the best genre for adaptation. rich characters, fun plots, and great dialogue, but not considered such classics that a Hollywood version would be sacrilege.
>>223221510cope
>>223221496Boring, generic cop movie and Basinger is twenty years too old for the character she's playing. Only bright spots are Kevin Spacey and James Cromwell.
>>223221646More like cop
>>223221552In the movie's defense it cut out a lot of the bullshit weirdness of the novel, like everyone passing Inez the rape victim around, Pierce Patchett being a 90-year-old martial arts master and plastic surgeon who makes himself look 20, the Disneyland serial killer bullshit, the Jewish gangster in prison, Bud's partner getting executed on death row...
Based shotgun edThat scene is actually greathttps://youtu.be/dkbiz3-NxK4
>>223221496it's alright but it's about as generic as a detective noir story could possibly be
it’s two good movies somewhat clumsily taped together
>>223221510Nah, it's a solid 9/10
This movie's great, only thirdies hate it because the entire cast is white and their racism is shown to be objectively correct.
>>223221510they should've been commie haters and racists as well
>>223221496nothing to say, it's not deep but its great. once its over its over.
>>223221755Ellroy typically veers of the deep end with numerous instances of incest, mutilation, and other sexually deviant acts
>>223221496Did we ever find out who Rollo Tomaso was?imo, its most likeiest it was one of those niggers in that house that died but since he dindu confess we may never know
>>223221496That´s because /tv/ is full of tasteless normies that would rather discuss capeshit, box offices and social issues. Actual cinema is hardly discussed outside the one art/foreign film thread and even old blockbusters get consistently attacked and disregarded by low IQ idiots. You can quote me on that. And remember, it´s Smith, with an S.
>>223221496for me it's the trivia bout Crowe finding a scrub to live in to enlarge his mental penis state
>>223221496What was the purpose of Kim Basingers character? I remember she was supposed to be Marilyn Monroe or someone but didn't prostitute herself enough or whatever it was and then the movie went away and turned out to be more action than romance so it bore me off and don't recall anything after.
>>223223798she prostituted herself as much as was possible? maybe you should watch the film
>>223221496wadda u wnna discuss??? its a nice technical movie.. but it has no emotions at all. u don't care for anything other than the riddle and once its shown the whole gets pointless to ponder bout
>>223223817what? I don't remember any nudie shots of basinger?? maybe some legs.. but her fake wig was too distracting. u tellin me shed spread her legs in the movie??? when, at the end??
>>223223732r u callin me a tasteless normie if I was told to u I hadn't watched the movie your talk bout?
Kevin Spacey was so hot in this movie!gorgeous!faboulous!tasty!
>>223221773my fav scene was thishttps://youtu.be/BVwLpNGBqqY?si=Uf2sSqH0u6Bpu0hU&t=38
its alright. looks nice, cool homage.
>>223221496what would the modern equivalent of this movie be??Spider-Man: Brand New Day????
>>223221496this movie is now older than the movie it homages to was when it was released back in 1995
>>223223987>30>2Yeah, that's correct, though I'm actually surprised you got that right!
I only remember the faggot with semen in his tummy
i didn't like basinger in itv lazy femme fatalenothing new, nothing particularly interestingrest was good though
