          Re: Revolver

          It's Guy Ritchie's attempt at mimicking a Fellini film, and coming up very, very short. I admire the ideas and the things he tried to do, but the story doesn't really make a whole lot of fucking sense, and style needs some degree of a coherent story in order to drive the film forward.

          It reminded me a lot of Danny Boyle's U.S. debut film with Ewan MacGreggor and Cameron Diaz - A Life Less Ordinary. Long on ideas and terribly short on the actual narrative.

              I haven't seen it but I've heard it's really, really bad...

              How on earth do these films get released? Does nobody, at some point, say "hang on, this is crap..."?

                you know, I still think Ritchie has it in him to come back and fuck everyone over by making a truly great gangster movie. "Revolver" will not be it. But he is capable of it. Maybe when he ditches Madge and Kabullshat.

                  It's not that easy.

                  Think of it this way: suppose you're offered to make a film, the story is based on a best selling novel, and each novel that has been converted to screen has been a success. You have a decent cast, with a few rising stars, healthy budget and an old hand at directing, and there's been demand to make the book into a film.

                  Sounds like a pretty good deal, right?

                  I could have just described for you Congo.

                  When making a film, the first draft of the script is usually a very different thing from what goes up on the screen. A great example of that is Graham Yost and his screenplay for Speed. There's been accounts of how devastated he was to see the story that he had come up with and having the film changed completely. Other films sometimes go through rewrite after rewrite in order to accomodate for budget, deadlines and shooting schedules, so you have to improvise with what you have, and sometimes have to lop off ideas and put new ones in, in order to tell the story.

                  Sometimes the editing of the film is where the film gets off track. Editing can completely change the look, feel and even how the film is told, and while you might have a very solid looking film in raw footage, it could become a peice of shit film when you edit it together.

                  It's not very simple to see what you've got, especially when you're the one making the film and investing your time, blood, sweat and tears into the work you're doing.

                    I think you're right. It felt like Ritchie bought into his own hype, and probably made him reach a little further than he should have.

                              It's getting a late January release. January is usually a dumping grounds for really awful films that won't really perform well.
