In Reply to: You missed some super films by Ridley Scott !!! posted by Doomsday Machine on November 29, 2002 at 10:32:59:
He deserves complete oblivion... in my humble view, of course. :-)))))Of the bunch you mentined only the Duelists has some right for life, and even that due to two good performances, not directing.
Gladiator is at the TV soap level. To make such film in 2001 is travesty only justified by the desperate need to make money.
Follow Ups:
Unfortunately, most people can't stomach this self-obsessed stuff, what a director puts out when they think they're so good, everything they touch is gold. Same with most European movies, it's just not to North American taste. We need some action, we look to the future, don't wallow so much in our past personal experiences...sure it's trite, but at least it's not boring Euro-trite. [P.S. I'm not counting British directors as European...] I suppose this is obvious, since European films generally don't do well here. Deservedly so, IMO. Canadian films are too much like European films, as though it has to be weird to be "good". But then, I have never regarded film as art, strictly entertainment. It might have been art up until the '20's, but has been propaganda and entertainment ever since.
