I think it's the right one for the effect the film is going for, but at the same time, I really hate it.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74006075048459248382013-06-16T19:05:57.856-05:002013-06-16T19:05:57.856-05:00I recently watched this film and was completely ta...I recently watched this film and was completely taken by surprise by the ending (and which initially vexed me a bit) until I read about the somewhat different story told in the novel on which the film was based. Upon some reflection, I think I actually prefer the film version - which is far more powerful as a bookend to the opening scene. In any event, I think this is one of those movies that is going to grow on me over the years.

He's certainly not the greatest actor in the world, but he has one of the most commanding screen presences I've encountered. There is a need to watch him when he is on the screen--he carries a lot of psychic weight.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-90374726331664476312013-03-03T13:05:31.013-06:002013-03-03T13:05:31.013-06:00I could not agree more with your final paragraph. ...I could not agree more with your final paragraph. You have eloquently described what is so special about this movie. It doesn't feel like it was made in this world. I really like this one too. It's something else, not to be consumed lightly.<br /><br />And Gulpilil is just so good. He has a screen presence unlike any other.siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.com
