Before the filming, when they were trying to figure out what they wanted the Monster to look like and the direction they were going to go in, De Niro wanted him to look a certain way but he couldnt really describe it or get out in words what his specifications were. The next day in meetings, De Niro came equipped with some photos of a recently slain man on the site of a grisly murder, and said "this is it. Make me look this poor guy." According to Branagh, he said something like "Jesus Christ, Bob, this just happened like, a few hours ago how in the hell did you get these? And De Niro just said, "I know a guy." benpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680256171903996080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-51424535057258573862018-10-31T12:36:19.616-05:002018-10-31T12:36:19.616-05:00I was looking forward to this and it certainly did...I was looking forward to this and it certainly did not disappoint. This was my 5th favorite first time watch for the month. I loved it. I agree with all of the cons you guys stated, but the movie was just working on me with so much positive feelings. I had just watched The Devils Rain also w/ Borgnine and although hes playing a satanic character, he's basically giving the same performance in Deadly Blessing, or, at least to the same effect, so that may have made me more excited for what I was seeing. I loved the weirdness of the end, with the gender reveal aspect. So weird, so 80s. All the female characters were just killing it in some way or another. Sharon Stone's first performance and as the story goes she and Wes didnt get along and he literally wouldnt direct her at all and that shows, but it didnt derail anything for me. benpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680256171903996080noreply@blogger.com
