the Miami Vice chink seemed force. would have made more sense for the role to be cuban?

plus mance rayder plays a cop named Fujiyama or some shit like that. mann definitely was in an asain trim phase.

I know you're joking but both movies are underrated arthouse masterpieces. Italians get it; they consider both to be classics.

Check out this clip as an example.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=thMQQVxf3zw

In 1.5 minutes Mann gets more emotion out of 2 actors and a few exterior cutaways of Hong Kong than whoever won best director last year did in a 2 hour movie about human lizard.

There's more mood than plot and character and in both, but MV does it better. I don't mind shit just looking nice but crime thrillers need better structure. I like MV the more I watch it.

MV definitely does it better. Blackhat is also different though. It tried to be cinema's first pure techno thriller. Thematically it's different than anything else he's done. Miami Vice is an arthouse film disguised as a traditional run and gun shoot em up movie. It's like a 2 hour digital Art Deco painting with a riveting plot and a brilliant soundtrack. It's fucking genius.

He's only buff because he was in prison. That's the whole point of his character. He was a NEET geek several years before the movie started and being jailed and isolated made him even more weird and autistic.

Miami Vice is my favorite Mann movie, and one of my favorite movies ever.

Blackhat is underrated but its not as beautifully filmed as Vice, the soundtrack is worse and Helmsworth was miscast/poorly written.

On the other hand, I think Farrell crushed it. People didn't appreciate Miami Vice in its time because they compared it unfavorably with the show, but I like that it was darker and grittier

heat is maybe my favorite movie of all time. definitely one of my top 20. i love collateral, thief, last of the mohicans, manhunter...

but honestly, miami vice and blackhat are fucking garbage. i dunno why he tried to do the chink fob thing, but it doesnt work for me, and a whole other stuff he did in those two movie doesnt sit with me at all.

the flow in MV was the title. people wanted bright colors and Don Johnson. Just change the name to "Tropic Snow" and its a hit.

blackhat - 5.4

those are terrible, terrible scores if you arent familiar with the imdb scoring. maybe those italian film critics have their heads up their asses? ever thought of that?

i love art! heat is art. blackhat and miami vice is FAILED art. i mean, at least he tried. its better than capeshit and dumb kevin hart comedies, but shit is shit. if you fail, you fail. thats the nature of the assignment.
