Main characters should have driven a convertible. They're in LA and everyone else does.
Soundtrack is well thought out. Sounded like what you would actually have heard on LA radio c1969. Defiantly not Woodstock greatest hits on repeat.
First, I drive a convertible, actors generally do not. Convertibles invite interaction , people on the sidewalk will offer conversation. actors would just rather be famous when they get there , not during transit. I probably have seen only a handful of actors driving around, so am far from an expert.
secondly, to adress a point in the above review, yes a lot of actors could have handled pacinno's role, but he is a star. That is an important point, his being there is not that he is the best absolute actor, a fine actor would fight to be in this movie, Pachino is a big movie star, a star filled cast is part of the old time hollywood deal, and part of the details that built this movie, described by critics as a love letter to hollywood. They also mentioned the directors love for shoes, as shown in some of the shots. i thought the scenes effective.
the guy could have filled the lead roles with unknowns, but he chose the biggest stars possible. Just like he has a horse chase in the middle of the movie , it's a classic bit among a collection of classic bits in a movie about classic hollywood actor's problems.
Hollywood, especially old Hollywood, was about bringing fantasies to life on a grand scale.
OUATIH could be seen as a fantasy in many ways.
Absolutely!
