I'd agree with the late 90s gangster comment; I like that the movie turns that on its head a little bit.<br /><br />As to your homage/inspiration comment, I think a lot of it has to do with the new generation growing old enough to make its vision known. It took time for Spielberg and Tarantino, et al, to develop as artists and get jobs to create their art, so I think that's definitely part of it.Mark Ahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695975412662760562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-1644695527894660882013-11-09T20:38:50.892-06:002013-11-09T20:38:50.892-06:00Thanks for the recommendation Mark.

I guess that how much of your bitch I am.<br />So much of it seemed like a left over from late 90s UK gangster, but overall it had a lot more heart and sincerity than anything from that era. Very good watch. Thanks.<br /><br />As a side note, when do "left overs" start to become "homages"/intelligent inspirations? Im thinking history shows about 20-25 years (Lucas/Speilbergs 70s output inspired by 50s, Tarrantinos 90/00s output inspired by 70s, etc). Does time passing matter, do we need time in order to have a revisionist history perspective to then build upon it into something stronger, and prior to that its still just an imitation?<br />pointless rambling, endBrad Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426952757794850746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-44515736133740669852013-11-09T07:28:58.630-06:002013-11-09T07:28:58.630-06:00Thanks for the recommendation Patrick.

The barrage of sin and vice to break the most proper of gentlemen. Wonderful, but I did look away during the roo fight. <br /><br />Tom, good choice. Secondly, If she isn't opposed to violent and aggressive portrayals of masculinity then shes bound to like it and get a kick out of many points of recognition, especially if she is from country Australia and/or from South Australia. Young Jack Thompson is also a pleasure to watch. But its not going to make her feel homesick or paint her home country in a very attractive light.

Anyway, the answer is yes. :( BUT what I also read were some RAVE reviews from the likes of Martin Scorsese and Roger Ebert, so not that Patrick's word isn't enough or anything, but this seems to be a must-watch, folks!Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.com
