The film is that of a dynamic and unique filmmaker and I'm sure if he had made another film it would have been something special. Whether that would have been another horror movie or something else it likely would have been something memorable. <br /><br />The Bounty was a major missed opportunity in general, and though the eventual film we got was in no way a bad film, the idea we never saw Lean fulfill his passion project, which would have played to his strengths, was a shame. Not only that it left Lean in limbo as a filmmaker for such a long time leaving him only to make one more film, that is far from his best, making it all the more unfortunate. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Well it's pretty hard to top the cast that was assembled for The Bounty however if it was made in say 1974:<br /><br />Fletcher Christian: Rutger Hauer<br />Captain Bligh: Robert Shaw<br />Fryer: Sam Neill<br />Churchill: Ian McShane<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Mandy Patinkin or Jeff Goldblum.

If Arrival huffed a shitload of paint thinner for days on end and then tried to write Under the Skin's Wikipedia entry, the end result would be this movie. Pretty to look at but nothing interesting under the hood. Alex Garland once again proves that he can take an interesting concept and shit all over it (although it's based on a novel, apparently). The stupid framing device pretty much kills any sort of intrigue or momentum, the twists are blatant from the absolute jump, and the lighthouse sequence is ridiculous beyond compare. Everyone in the movie does the bare minimum (is Jennifer Jason Leigh even awake?) and Portman's robotic portrayal wouldn't fool Domhnall Gleeson's character one second in "Ex Machina."Psifoniannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-77714640272278259242018-03-15T06:26:08.455-04:002018-03-15T06:26:08.455-04:00Louis: How do you think Filth could have been impr...Louis: How do you think Filth could have been improved.
