A Face in the Crowd (1957)
White face in a white crowd.
Just watched and saw this from a POC viewpoint. Clearly a segregation era film of "cracker Barell" politics without a single Brown face in America's metaphorical crowd.
Bosch (2014)
Season 2 denoument
Requires us to believe that Bosch didn't see that Nash was gonna be tipped to flee when arseno? was given 24 hrs to get gone?
Who does that and doesn't take or get responsibility for the bloody consequences of releasing the cop? That's ignorant and antithetical to image of "Bosch is smarter than others".
The Prowler (1951)
Raincoat in the desert.
Last 20 minutes of the film Van Heflin wears a raincoat for no discernible reason.
Dark Passage (1947)
Coincidence abides
Its about cinematography and THE city of SF with amazing Bacall closeups and lighting. The dissolves are pregnant with content. The powerful forces of extraordinary and ludicrous coincidence are well presented by strong characters who coincidentally perish absurdly. Love this film.
Galveston (2018)
Noir shade.
I have the strong affection for this film I reserve for the noir rendering of Real life...real dark life with stuff we know is just out of sight or in our own pasts. Strongly affecting play by all involved. Perfectly nuanced direction and pace. A film makers film. NeoNoir where the shade and shadow is the players to cast.
