Yes, that was the director's cut. I just love that he does indeed get saved, but the only way he is able to get "saved" from the miserable world is by going catatonic. I believe the love conquers all version cuts almost an hour of the film.
If you get a chance, watch the documentary "Battle of Brazil: a video history" - it is a fascinating account of the issues and battles between a film-maker who has a vision, and the studio executives who are only thinking about dollars.
and btw, totally different topic, but Daryl Dixon kicks ass! My favorite character of the show. Although I have only seen season 1 so far.
Season 2 is half awesome, and half boring ass ____. I don't care if you disagree. The first half is so horrible.
Still the best show on TV IMO.
After Mad Men.
Mad Men ruined The Walking Dead.
Never will watch that show.
Is that good? Been in my instant queue for a while now, might have to start it when I finish Prison Break (which is pretty awesome thus far.)
I love gangster flicks, is it anything like that?
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 9/10
Impeccable
It is fantastic. Not anything gangster related though. It about an ad agency in 1960s New York. Absolutely brilliant writing, acting, set design and details... and all accomplished with virtually no sex or profanity. Hey, I'm all about sex and profanity, but I have to applaud a show that can be so good entertaining without having to resort to any of that. This is unlike Spartacus, which is the exact opposite, but also brilliant.
Need to see this! Did you watch Tree of Life? Do you want me to give you my address?
