So many cookie-cutter Hollywood movies have trained our subconscious to their mold. I watched "28 days" and immediately thought it was refreshingly un-Hollywood. It's kind of funny b/c the trailers for this movie led me to believe it would be another, usual Hollywood fare. Maybe the trailers were made by Hollywood?
Follow Ups:
I loved 28 Days Later. One of my favorite movies from last year.But I gotta tell ya, it sure felt like a Hollywood movie to me. Why do you guys say it wasn't like a Hollywood movie? Aside from the fact that it took place in England and had a certain Britishness about it, the story construction, pace and graphic style of the film was very American, very slick, like a Tony Scott movie.
And don't try to tell me that Tony Scott or his brother Ridley are not American film makers. Like Hitchcock, they were born Brits, but came here to work in the American idiom.
Danny Boyle, director of 28 Days, would probably be a bit offended he's being likened to Tony Scott. Tony Scott brought us "Top Gun" "Days of Thunder" "Spy Games." Quintessentail Hollywood films to be sure.Danny Boyle, on the other hand, brought us "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later." I can't quite stretch my imagination enough to interchange one director for the other. By the way, I loved Trainspotting...
