Heaven's Gate

Wow, what an utterly massive failure. It just utterly failed to connect, or even provide entertaining spectacle. Instead, we got ugly sepia toned action occuring with utterly incomprehensible sound, and really no characters at all that we could connect with. It again makes the huge mistake of making a movie about a historical event without having a character who is actually involved in it, instead involving a character who just sort of watches. So, instead of getting an account of an atrocity in American history where aspiring immigrants get horribly slaughtered from the point of view of one of the immigrants, which would have been interesting, we get token boring native born white guy who just sort of watches, And lots of immigrants just sort of saying incomprehensible dialogue, and lots of dialogue that is unhearable through the dolbyized foley of the soundtrack. Oh, and lots of dust. Thank you, Micheal Cimiono, for killing 70's auteur cinema, and also utterly destroying an awesome, artist-focused studio(aka United Artists). I hear the Deer Hunter sucks too.
