One of the most interesting things about this movie is that there's a lot of footage of people doing things, but not talking. That is different from all of the Coen Bros other movies which lean pretty heavily on dialogue to get their characters across. But that's cool, change is good, I learned a lot about how to hide things and follow things and look for things, etc. Tentpoles, right...gotta write that one down. I will say that I felt that the Coen Bros APPROPRIATELY tipped their hat frequently throughout to Raising Arizona, the cornerstone movie of my generation, in all kinds of ways. The plot (obvee - man fights within himself between good and evil), a lot of scenes (crawling around under cars?), a character who is a total badass but also seems to lack any conscience, etc etc and there you go. Anyways, you don't need me to tell you to see it, everyone else has already told you so there it is.
This review's KEY POINT: I haven't thought about this too hard, but what the **** was up with Anton's Prince Valiant Dorothy Hamill hairdo? Anyone?
