My Name Is Nobody?
It's a fucking parody! Parody has been with us since the beginning (hence the Greek name). Are you saying that every parody is a work of Postmodernism?
You are so full of shit your eyes are brown.
Uh, yeah. Thanks for all the help. Asshole.
It's only a parody in parts, it's only a comedy in parts, it is also a typical SW in parts, and it is a real twilight western. And in its "serious" parts it is very post modern.
Uh, could you give me a ferinstance
A ferinstance: actually the whole film, despite the funny parts, cause it is an absolute twilight western, very peckinpahesque, very melancholic in every Fonda scene. Half of the film is dead serious (the Fonda half), the other half is parodistic, and sometimes, but only sometimes, a mere comedy, and I would like to cut a few of this pure-comedy parts out, and make the film by that less clucherish and even more leonesque.Give me a like for that ...
Like! Well broadly.... I mean not all the Fonda stuff is that serious - it's not like the opening scene takes itself that seriously for example,
The comedy approach (on Nobody's part) was right of course. (??).But fast-motion in films rarely works. I mean most of the Trinity fun camefrom just the opposite! The guy was sleepy and lazy and all... Quick on the drawand fast with his fists... No need to slow down the camera.
