Legends of the Fall (1994)

 

The "fall" refers to the fall from innocence.

This fuckin movie is funny. The cover really compelled me at first, along with the cast and release date.

I watched the whole thing with Lauren and it was not until the credits that I realized the justification for what I'd witnessed.

Edward Zwick.

That motherfucker.

Such a bastard. This greedy fuck actually had this movie in development for 17 years before it ever got a green light.

The whole thing is a Parmesan festival.

And I think it is decidedly a chick flick because Lauren liked it, and most of the time Brad Pitt is just jocking his boyish long hair hella hard.

To me it had a lot of potential and though it is beautiful the frivolousness with which it handles the passage of time is insulting.

Not a bad watch though.

Three Movies I Watched That You Should Watch Too

Somehow I've managed to miss out on the bullshit recently. First and foremost I saw Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

This movie is fucking hilarious.

The next movie I saw that I really enjoyed is The Road, with Viggo Mortensen. Just a beautiful movie, crazy fucking lack of CGI.

Some of the most haunting ideas come up throughout.

Truly compelling look at post-apocalyptic America. Plus Omar has a cameo.

And the movie I finished watching last night, Gomorra, about the true down and dirty Italian "Camorrah" or mafia. The motherfuckers that don't fuck around, the real criminals of the world.

This movie is pretty crazy and worth watching, the director lived in an Italian slum much like that in the movie for a while before filming.



But if you see any movie this year, go see Bad Lieutenant.
