I talked myself into thinking it was a masterpiece when it came out and walked around for twenty years talking about it like a masterpiece. Now I don't feel that it is that.
There are things about the studio cut that I actually like more than the Leone cut, and things in the Leone cut I like more than in the studio cut.
OUATIA is not a perfect movie the way that GBU and OUATITW are, but it is one of the greatest cinematic achievements -- flaws be damned.
It's a seriously flawed film.Even the score is a disappointment.I prefer the studio cut also!If the director was Sergio Provolone nobody would even discuss it.
WooooooooahI can agree that it?s flawedI can?t agree with the criticism of the scoreAs to the studio cut, I?ve thankfully never seen it so I can?t comment on it
I cannot believe I?m wasting my time defending Mank in another thread while some philistine is attacking the holy grail of cinema here.
