saw it yesterday
what did you thought of this movie?
for me there was a total lack of argument and the love story is just unbelievable
also too much useless violence
the scenario and D.D.Lewis were great though

DD lewis was good. Not a lot else was IMO. An okay film that ws entertaining, but hardly life changing intelligent cinema. It also certainly wasn't the "last great epic" a lot of people made it out to be.

although the movie itself was still hollywood in the end, love story and all... to me it seemed a reminder of how things have changed drastically, but really very little at all.
of course one is always at the mercy of the writer, director, cast, and all the crap dramaticizations. but some of the general issues of the film i found common to where things are at even now. different scale; similar allegieances, indulgences, desires problems, conservancies, exploitations, hopes, manipulations, beliefs, provocations and revolts.
not life-changing, or even a new way of depicting life. but somehow relevant.

I myself have NOT seen this movie yet, but I also do not feel like I am MISSING anything great. I want to see it and will end up renting it, but from what I have read out here, I can wait=)
Oh and just to ask you, is his performance in THIS better than LAST OF THE MOHICANS?...or IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER?....
Cause both of those were brilliant works by DDL. He IS getting a ton of hype over this Gangs...

I think Day Lewis has done better, most notably My Left Foot. However, this is a different type of performance, not necessarily one of great acting skill, but one of creating a massive onscreen presence. He commands the screen in every one of his scenes, reducing everyone else to mere extras.

it was a bit of an odd one really. to start with, it was nice to learn something new about the country thats told all its stories a hundred times over BUT it was damn long and had strange moments. i liked it but i won't go out of my way to see it again or buy it...

"but we don't need to say it any given operrtunity"
we're talking about a film with Day-Lewis IN it. kind of silly to avoid talking about him because you have some strange problem with that.
