The Proposition

[DJWrongspeed]

Anyone seen this, superb, the dark heart of Australia, richly shot in the outback and with piers brosnan given ace role as an irish psychopath.

The sound track is superb, the screen play by Nick Cave no less.

Going to see it tomorrow.

Looking foward to it.

A mate of mine works as script editor at the company that made it - she's been sending emails telling people that they absolutely must see this, and she's never done that for any of their films before!

 

[Reno]

Yes, saw this a while ago and thought it was great.

 

[Karac]

piers brosnan ?

Did catch this earlier tonight.

Umm yeah.

 

[The Groke]

Yer - been mad keen for this since I heard about it last year.......

Guy Pearce, Ray "Where's your fucking tool" Winstone and Nick Cave script =

I have absolutely no doubt that it won't reach the cinema here in Dubai though......

sigh - roll on DVD release.

For fans of outlaw cowboy adventure, Tommy Lee Jones' The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada will be out soon.

there's no Piers Brosnan..

I did enjoy it a lot - more than Pie Face - but it does lack a certain subtlety, doesn't it? it is rather like being clubbed round the head with Cave's particular worldview for 2 hours.

Camerawork was fucking amazing.

"Are we misanthropes, Albert?"
"No, we're FAMILY"

 

[Firky]

Really want to see this even more now I've read the replies. When you say it is has lots of Nick Caves POV, do you mean in a pissed off religious way?

Yeah I didn't think I saw any Piers in it, he probably means Guy Pearce.

I didn't really think it was that good.

I also thought Ray Winston really stank, not sure if he was miscast but I thought the part he played didn't suit him at all and he didn't particularly act very well in it.

Saying that.

My mate who is really into movies, used to go to the Scala back in the day and really does know his movies, totally cunted me off for saying that, and thought the film and winston was brilliant.

I just thought it was pointless and didn't really say anything.

I was left pretty underwhelmed, as well.

Whatever Nick Cave does for you musically, it's unlikely the screenplay he sketched out (for this) over, apparently, 14 or so pages and in an afternoon, will do the same cinematically.

Fwiw, I think he was/is into 'discovering the essential Australian character', or summin. Certainly was a couple of years ago when he, presumably, drafted this.

Fwiw, the themes you'd assume to be pertinent to that kind of project are certainly present in this film.



I'd think Guy Pearce could prob do yer authentic Ian Flemming James Bond pretty well (rather than Disco Bond, and more recent incarnations).
