It’s so beautiful seeing these hard frontiersmen and women looking on in wonder. They’re enraptured by his performance. And it’s so sad to see that town by town, people become less interested in art or poetry. Instead they’re placated by simple spectacles and cheap tricks. Kinda makes you think about the state of current entertainment. God I love this Anthology.
The chicken that the impresario bought in order to replace harry (whom he threw into a river) was all a trick, the chicken doesnt actually do basic math
Melling is one of the most talented actors around. Makes every role and script credible and a joy to watch. Recommend The Pale Blue Eyes where he plays the part of Edgar Alan Poe. More of Melling please, any Director worth his salt must know he’s a real box office investment. Massively on the up I would hope.
The Coen Brothers must have returned from the year 2120 because they're a good century ahead of their nearest filmmaking rivals. Every scene is a masterpiece of atmospheric painting, much like Kubrick, but they tell a story as well as Scorsese or Spielberg. They master the logistics necessary for huge casts and crews filming incredibly complex, nuanced ideas. It's not just that the Coens make increasingly brilliant films, it's that they make it look so easy to do. They're Mozart and we're all just Salieri.
