So been awhile since I watched the 'Bank robber people' film in Andy's class. I thought I'd blog about it as I so forgot to.
Here's a review on what I can remember!
I found this film rather odd, I'm not entirely sure why though, maybe the long cuts with the lack of any compelling soundtrack? There was just something not quite right about what I was watching. Maybe the sometimes odd narrative? Hmmm.
Anyways the film again started of 'oddly' hey blond woman, I have a gun. Lets travel across the country robbing banks and such? Never met you before but O.K! This again happens when they stumble across an innocent car repair man along a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. This just all fitted together rather strangely, from here on out it became just a case of botched bank robberies to being chased and shot at from time to time.
I knew how it was going to end thanks to The Simpsons parody of the film, I was just waiting for it to happen every-time they drove past a tree or bush. Maybe this constant anticipation spoiled the film for me? But for me there was just no compelling plot to it all. I think it was supposed to be set during the depression from the odd cut-away to a camp of families living at a beach. But this was just be guessing, the film did nothing to make me feel like they weren't in the wrong for robbing these people from start to finish, it didn't really give me any compelling reason to keep watching at-all.
I found the acting and long scenes of not much happening rather dull to absolutely honest, I found myself in a half-daze from time to time. It just kept repeating the last scene I had just finished watching but changing the bank and hide-out location and oh the posy chasing them away.
Overall not much of a review I know, but altogether not a great watch in my view, maybe I'm just far to used to fast cuts and a generally fast pacing forward moving plot line to follow, from all these modern Hollywood Blockbuster films. I know most modern films are well...rubbish but I can't help being brain washed by the style general theme's of them.
Over and out!
