fishstick Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks well crafted, might garner a couple acting noms but that's it. I admire Wright for trying to experiment with such a stuffy genre, but I think it might be a futile effort because it still looks stuffy. Hard to get excited for something like this when you have Tarantino, P.T. Anderson, and a Spielberg/Day-Lewis collaboration in the awards race. Amen. This will be loved by bloggers because it`s an experiment...until it stars getting serious tracking with precursors over TDKR and Django. Than blogger support will turn to backlash but too late. Same story over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senmitsuji Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm not that impressed with Wright as a director. His non-Keira movies are a mess. The Soloist and Hanna were awful.anyways the trailer looks great visually but I still have a problem with the cast. Jude Law is too attractive for his role and Aaron Johnson is not attractive enough. Knightley looks like she's doing the same jaw acting in the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPGLRO3fZnQLooks pretty good, I like Joe Wright and Keira Knightley/Jude Law, I'm not sure if I would see it in theaters though. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine that any period piece has to default to English accent. One of the reasons I was looking forward to this is an interest in Russian culture/literature/history and from watching the trailer, you wouldn't even know it was a Russian story.

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I hope it bombs regardless because I don`t want KK to be in a hit. She cna win Oscar if she wants cause that would be 2 Star Wars actresses winning Best Actress vs only one LOTR who won only BSA.LMAO :lol:I love your reasoning for these things. As much as you dislike The Jaw she'll never touch Shitto hate.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I didn't care for Dr. Parnassus. It looked cheap and overall it was kind of boring and messy.I couldn't finish Parnassus. Shame, I was looking forward to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it may still be good in its own way. Dr. Zhivago is a better bet because it is set during the Russian revolution. Also, The Last Station is a pretty good as well.

I do like Sophie Marceau and Sean Bean in those roles though but the movie fell short.I wouldn't have cast Keira Knightley as Anna but looking at these clips I can see why he did it. It wasn't for her acting but for her beauty and how it blends in with his vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think she was a better actress when she was younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don`t think that foreign accent gives any autheticity. Russians speak Russian, not English with Russian accent. Either go full Gibson or don`t bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Agree about the accents but back then the Russian Aristocracy spoke a lot of french. So it would have been some french accents mixed in with Russian if you want authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s for AMPAS and art-housies only. So they should be OK with french-accented Russian language. I mena, they sit through foreign films to select nominees so this isn`t different.

Cochofles Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I swear to God that it took me a while to believe that KK and that chick from Superman Returns was not the same person. They even have the same amount of expressions: 2. I don't know what it is about KK that comes across--to me--as so fake, forced, and unconvincing.

Either go full Gibson or don`t bother.It's down to preference, obviously, I just don't understand why these people get paid millions if they can't pull off an accent other than English or American. Better yet if the film was actually in native language but obviously that's not going to happen. But this is IMO like if they made a Queen Elizabeth movie and she had an American accent. We'd never hear the end of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
