Grits, a whore dressed in designer clothes, with Chanel 5, is still a whore.

Bresson's budget was 1/1000th of Hollywood and in the areas you mention, it outperformed 99.9% of the huge budgets you love so much.
Look at a Bela Tarr or Tarkovsky film and see how much your "X-Men" films defeat it in any of your categories.

I'm really unfamiliar with whores as you apparently are. Try keeping your personal revelations to yourself.

    It simply fails to make the connections between budgets and quality of film making in the film industry. The advantages and disadvantages to having more money to make a film are a lot more complex than how you dress a hooker. There's just no metaphorical connection.

      "Let the Right One In," was better. Quite obviously, it was vastly inferior. Of course, you had to be able to read subtitles, a high hurdle for some here.

        Inferior in every way, including cinematography, sound, acting. A slavish and poor copy. nt - tinear 07:30:29 06/06/11 (1)

        That was the one thing that was actually done pretty well in the remake. I consider the original to be a masterpiece and arguably the smartest horror film since the days of The Exorcist and Jaws. The remake clearly failed to capture everything that was good about the original. But I can't fault the actors for that. It was a good cast and they did as well as could be asked with the material rewritten the way it was.
