    Guy Pearce is criminally underrated. Dude has had an incredible career.

      criminally underrated indeed.

      How can he have had an incredible career and be underrated? Do you just use that word like everyone els, because you can`t think of anything more constructive? Everyone says underrated these days.

      He has starred in quite a few major movies, some he carried single handed. He has also been a supporting player in many other famous and lesser known but excellent films. His performances are all unique and masterful, almost invisible. Almost nobody knows his name. He has won no major awards besides a Primetime Emmy. He is almost the definition of underrated.

    Remember seeing the trailer of this a few months back, really miss these sort of genre films, historical epic, are increasingly rare. Especially the sort about Westerners getting involved in the frontiers and fringes of the world they're familiar with, and getting into conflict with cultures unfamiliar to them, hopefully nowadays films like this have a more revisionist perspective than older ones ofc

    To my mind it is clear that Maori people are almost alone worthy of respect. WIthin two generations from contact with the British, they had printing presses, cannon, muskets, steam power. And that's why New Zealand is today the syncretic nation it is. Because the Maori were the smartest people not colonized by others.

    Guy Pearce is amazing. I saw The Proposition with my friend who is Guy's Doppleganger. I have some Danny Huston stuff a wee bit. We saw it at Landmark's Lumiere on Polk. The whipping scene is to Mr Cave as a body being struck by a car is to Mr Friedkin.
    Some of the demographic would have the stomach to watch a few stripes.
    This was not the case. There was wincing and gnashing of teeth. Having a well stocked library while executing bushranging, having John Hurt (RIP) expressing Darwinian pronouncement about the Bush Rangers origins, the cruel colonial administrator seeing to it that John Bull's foot stays firmly on the neck of anyone anti British. The aboriginal trackers assessment that Danny Huston is not just feral but completely dog. What is Cave cooking up now?
    When a car hits a body as Billy Friedkin did it in Jade there is the possibility that the theatre goes gets up and checks into Urgent Care.

    The narrator uses the word “enormity” as a synonym for magnitude. The film is set in 1830 when “enormity” meant “extreme wickedness”; the. Idea that it means magnitude is a recent meaning because of its similarity to enormous. If they cannot get the vocabulary of the period right, what is the rest of the film like?
