But I know tons of people who LOVED it...for me it was too obviously folky...and then kind of too "dramatic". I wish they had mixed up the general pace of the music. But I did love this movie. And I also think the scriptwriters (Ted Griffin?) were influenced by Blood Meridian.
Its ineresting. It looks familiar like I have seen it or parts of it like this. Not sure though. Will have to ask my mom if she has this one because if she does I more than likely have seen it. Or at least heard of it.
I don't know...I like the idea...yes it could be a terrible movie...or it could be done. I couldn't believe you could make a movie of Moby Dick...which is basically the same themes as Blood Meridian...and the version with Gregory Peck is fricking awesome! I would also compare SE7EN and Silence of the Lambs with the themes of Blood Meridian...?
This movie Ravenous is very much a riff on Blood Meridian, has the same dark humour, the kind of impossible bad guy, and manfest destiny...it's also not like Blood Meridian...but there is a riff in the ending with interesting allusions to Blood Meridian. Ridley Scoot is set to direct a version that I have heard...it's been tossed around Hollywood for ten years at least. Michael Mann (HEA, COLATERAL DAMMAGE) originally had the rights...
Ravenous was okay. But the overpowering score drove me mad (not too evident in this scene, to be fair).
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the music either actually *.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved Ravenous! It's one of my all time favourites. And yet so few people I know (in real life anyways) have seen it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be best if nobody makes a movie of Blood Meridian for a long time. It could only be a sad disappointment.
