i'm excited for this new column. it was a fantastic read and i can't wait for the next episodes.
ReplyDeletei don't know if you're a fan of the film or not, and i don't know what kind of elements fit into the concept of this column, but i recently rewatched "the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford" and i feel like everything in that movie except for casey after and roger deakins is hugely underrated.
i mean, if actors count for unsung heroes, i think brad pitt did his career best work in that film (although he did win venice, but nothing else)
more importantly, the sound work really gets to me every single time.
i think that movie needs to mentioned much more often.
p.s. school has still kept me from reading your review on "the american".
ReplyDeletei should do that ASAP. :)
So far I have two loose standards for the column.
ReplyDelete1) Avoid actors, at least for a while. The Film Experience said it's a well covered ground on the blog, and I think other angles are fresher anyway.
2) Nothing award nominated or otherwise acknowledged to be excellent. Someone mentioned the cinematography of Michael Mann films and I don't think that quite qualifies as unsung. Even though it has been Oscar snubbed a lot has been written about its greatness.
After that I'm open to any ideas. I think I'm due for a second viewing of Jesse James so I'll evaluate it for material.
Thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to your feedback.
