372. Directorpiece Theatre: How the Directors of The Book of Eli Prepared You For The Twist
Added 2021-03-26 13:01:02 +0000 UTC
Adam walks us through the vision of the Hughes Brothers and the techniques deployed so the film’s final twist isn’t doesn’t feel so hard to swallow. It succeeds and fails in different ways, but there’s plenty of craftsmanship in this extremely flawed film. Sometimes it’s about what you don’t see, you see. It’s like jazz. Sweet, sweet Denzel-Washington-clapping-a-bar-full-of-hooligans-with-a-scimitar jazz.

I have a lot of hardcore fanboy/weeb buddies, and I'm always the guy on the outside being like, "I love Cowboy Bebop" as one of my only connections to the genre outside of Miazaki and maybe two other series.

2021-03-27 22:54:18 +0000 UTCWhen this was released on Netflix the writer (Gary Whitta) did a live commentary watch along on Twitch. This was the only time I’ve seen this movie and it was fine. Whitta’s takes on it and what not was the draw.

I think the blind part of the character has precedence because of Zatoichi, the blind swordsman in japanese movies, easier to take that concept at face value since those movies use alot of western tropes too
