N'empêche, comme pour le film super concept cow-boys gays on est toujours dans la longueur limite nombrilo-contemplative.
These films achieve their bloated status for different reasons: the old "New World" and "Brokeback Mountain" (running 2 hours and 14 minutes) take too much time getting started. If the audience knows that the English settlers will land and the cowboys will turn out to be gay, the movies shouldn't waste 15 minutes getting there.
Avec le DVD on dit à l'artiste que ses délires ne seront pas perdus pour tout le monde s'il veut bien accepter de livrer un truc mieux calibré pour tenir dans les salles. Problème : pour tenir les salles le marketing innonde les médias d'information, donc le spectateur lambda sait très vite de quoi parle le film et tout ce qui est exposition, installation du décor n'en parait que plus mou, long et ennuyeux.
Those preliminary scenes, which slowed things down, have been trimmed, and the voice-overs - interior monologues in which Pocahontas and Smith meditate on their lives - are less likely to accompany picturesque views of nature. Instead, Ms. Green said, the voice-over "pulls you into the next scene." The editing was the kind of snipping that, like a good face-lift, should be inconspicuous if it works. Besides, Mr. Malick can put it all back (and more) in the DVD. "He always had it in mind that he would make a longer version that would allow people to take bathroom breaks," Ms. Green said.
Films aren't all about plot, of course, and artistically a work may need time to establish its characters and its pace. But viewers now walk into theaters already so crammed with information about the film that those establishing scenes almost take care of themselves.
