In Reply to: Duncan's meditation on Scorsese and Eastwood posted by clarkjohnsen on March 14, 2005 at 15:34:55:
shows what a poor writer truly he is.
Can't say I agree with his opinions, either. "Mystic River..." one of the best nominated films of the past 77-years!!!?
If Duncan can't see the commercialization and cliché in MDB, he has problems far beyond his writing---and that ain't good for a self-styled critic of any medium.
MDB and Mystic River are good, perhaps VERY good entertainment, but neither rises to Unforgiven's heights, which is the pity. Why Morgan Freeman allowed himself to be cast as such a kowtowing loser is beyond me.
