Best Movie of 2007
RedLion:
No Country For Old Men is the best all-around movie, considering how deftly it combines drama and action into near utter perfection. There Will Be Blood, however, is probably better in terms of acting and dramatic performance (DDL is a modern god of acting.)
KvP:
At this point I'm tentatively going to have to say No Country For Old Men, though I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet. Looks like a definite contender.
Jackie Blue:
The only problem at all that I had with Control is entirely exterior to the film itself: I kept being worried that it wasn't realistic because it was based on his widow's book, and might have therefore shown Ian Curtis to be more of a douchebag than he actually was, or might have sugarcoated her personality, etc.
I found Ian Curtis' daughter's Myspace. I'd like to send her a message, but I realize that would be kind of retarded.
De_El:
I didn't think it really showed him to be a douchebag; emotionally retarded maybe, but it's not like he did all those things because he wanted to make her suffer, and I don't think the portrayal made him seem malicious either. Although, I hadn't even considered what might be different about Deborah Curtis in the movie.
I kinda got that too, I briefly felt the desire to seek her out and hug her, but there's no real good reason. It's also cool that she actually really likes Joy Division. You wouldn't necessarily expect it. Someone pointed me to an interview with Frances Bean Cobain at some point and she was pretty ehh about Nirvana.
More on topic, I just saw Sweeney Todd again because my girlfriend wanted to see it, and I think I'd like to give it more credit than I did previously. Somewheres in the top...15.
bryanthelion:
No country for old men didn't stand out as an amazing movie to me. I missed the first couple of minutes and I zoned out in the end. So maybe thats why. I just don't think it was my type of movie.
