I will find you."Thanks for the correction. In my defense (?), much of my amusement comes from a skit (SNL, Living Color, ???) which mocked the movie line ..... which amplified my ambivalence to the movie. I won't comment on the rest .....

I'm always posting that, it seems, but it's true. I sob each time I see it and it moves me beyond belief. It's a very beautiful film no doubt, but just gets silly in places. How do we know that Uncas and the younger sister are in love? Why, because they stare at each other while music plays, of course. It has all the character development of a music video. A gorgeous film, yes, but one that doesn't make a lot sense. But that's generally my feeling of most of Mann's films.

Stay alive. I will find you." Actually, it's more like: "If they don't kill you, they'll take you up to Huron-Land. You survive do you hear . . . you submit . . . you stay alive! No matter how long it takes, I will find you!" There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the jist of it. Still a good movie, and I love the music. Ken V.

I think Manhunter is FAR superior to any of the Hopkins Hannibal movies that I've seen, including TSOTL (imo, one of least deserving Best Picture* winners in recent memory). I liked Collateral. Heat was good but would have been better if shortened by about 30 minutes. I didn't care much (but hardly remember) Mohicans; yet I still laugh every time I think of the line "I WILL come for you!" Miami Vice is quite probably my favorite TV show of all time. That's strange. I feel that Silence of the Lambs was one of the few pictures that actually deserved the award. In my opinion, the director built suspense from the beginning with Jodie Foster jogging through the fog and ending with the phone call from Anthony Hopkins. I still love this movie and was bitterly disappointed by the second one. Hannibal Rising - Mike - 11-20-2006 XamberB Wrote:That's strange.

Hannibal would have been a great movie if they followed the book more, especially at the end. The real saving grace for that movie was Gary Oldham whose performance went uncredited. Hannibal Rising - Auskar - 11-21-2006 The first time I saw Silence of the Lambs, it was disappointing. Later, I realized that the reason it was disappointing was because I had recently read the novel. When I saw it later, I thought it was great. I don't like the Hannibal Lector sequels, but it is a tribute to Anthony Hopkins that they were written as books and made into movies. If it were not for Anthony Hopkins, things would have ended at Silence of the Lambs (which is the second novel). Hannibal Rising - Kenji - 12-13-2006 Looks like foreign movie! http://www.tobis.de/home/site_scripts/filmseite.php?id=101 Hannibal Rising - NewYorkjoe - 12-13-2006 Mark S.

The French and Indian War was far more brutal to the colonists and the Native Americans alike than the Revolutionary War that followed not many years after; many atrocities committed on both sides. In the French and Indian War, George Washington was a goat, forced to surrender and sign a document of surrender for which he had no authority following the massacre of Gen. Braddock's force (some say that on still mornings, you can hear the soldiers, their horses, and equipment on the deserted streets of Georgetown!). :eek: Hannibal Rising - Ken Valentine - 12-14-2006 NewYorkjoe Wrote:I would never say it was my favorite movie of all time, but it was pretty faithful to James Fenimor Cooper's work IMHO. Actually, there were quite a few changes from the novel. Not the least being that the roles of the sisters were switched. Ken V. |
