As a place, the city of Horizon was not really present – and did not do the movie, when you really think about it. The first chapter of the four -part Western epic Horizon: American epicWho follows a cross -section of the characters heading to the Arizona territory that was amended a lot, it was first shown at the Cannes Film Festival last year and opened in theaters later in the summer. The soft box office (and other scenes from behind the scenes, one of the suspects) pushed Warner Bruce to drop plans to issue the second chapter. This second part was presented for the first time on the last day of the Venice Film Festival and immediately disappeared. He still has no date or distributor until this writing, but he had the first show in the United States at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
Horizon – Everything – it is an enormous task, and as soon as it is completed, it will feel a huge achievement. But at the present time, there is also a fair opportunity to end everything … nothing. Costner was not released after two chapters, and he has already drowned an amount of money from his money in this dream project, so it may need a financier or two. Unlike some other films that were divided into multiple sections, Horizon Do you really feel that it should be complete before we can estimate its full scope and shape. Most of the current current multiple splendor gives us the three normative verbs before you decrease at the end of the Cliffhanger to keep us a drug addict. Horizon various. It is not driven by Cliffhangers. Instead, it seems like sitting in a train across the country whose paths have not been built and watched the railway links in one place after another (to borrow another classic Western image). Everything is very cool, but there is a real fear of giving up working at some point and we will leave in the middle of anywhere.
This feeling becomes particularly evident with the second batch. Horizon: American Story – Chapter Two It is a great movie, but like the previous chapter, it is also an incomplete film. In a strange way, it seems less complete than the first: it expands the story emotionally while continuing to deprive us of any real closure or decision, which in turn makes the rest of the rest much larger. The previous batch began and ended with massacres, to highlight the endless courses of revenge, which represents Western expansion. This new is a series of meaningless and brutal killings, as if it were indicating that the poison was always in us. It causes us to deeper into the mud, then leave us there.
If it can be said that the second part has a central hero, then this will be Juliet Juliet Prompt (Ella Hunt), who was found in the first part itself and her husband Hugh (Tom Pine) motivated by the move with the difficult ways of the cart. Now, with the formulation of the caravan, Mrs. Proutept find herself imprisoned in an indescribable nightmare of abuse and humiliation. She adds the silence of those around her, especially the leader of the non -fired and compressed vehicle train, Matthew van Widen (Luke Wilson), another dimension to her ordeal. We see that ethical people seem to do nothing. It is terrible, and the realistic photography of Costinner of this story line adds to sadness and to the extent that he sees it Horizon It is a lot of importance from the sexy old cowboy epic that many thought they were getting.
Among the other central players in the epic, the Hayes Elison character Costner is in a different way, as it ends in a job as a port in a small settlement, in an attempt to maintain peace while trying to deal with unprecedented individuals both sides of the law that does not exist. Meanwhile, Francis Keterradig continued from Siena Miller, who lost her husband and son in a brutal way in the early scenes of the first part, in an attempt to build a life for herself and her daughter (Georgia McVille) while he will become the settlement of the horizon, but nothing yet. As for the first lieutenant at Sam Wathington, Trent Guevart, one of the first most dependent threads in the movie, leaves this early, to Go shoot another Avatar sequel Fighting in civil war.
Those who felt that the first part would have been more suitable for the TV series will find little to abuse this idea in this batch, which intersects between its varying characters and the story tapes faster. But in the cinema, the intimate relationship is perfectly suitable for the scene like Vistas Grand Vistas and huge crowd scenes – perhaps more. And with everything slowly formed in front of us, it can be said that awareness of how these parts fit together are more important. It helps to watch this movie closely: Costner and Editor Miklos Wright cut ideas and photo societies instead of stopping the natural narration. This may add to some viewers that the story is stagnant. But the director does not invalidate us, as it builds towards a prominent feeling that there is a terrible thing about to happen at all times, which may be somewhat closer to the ancient West.
Although the main palaces in the first chapter is that we did not really get to know his characters well, we are now spending more time with them. This second chapter is a long, dark night of soul, communicating with people who have become trapped and displaced in their questions for a better life. It also reveals that Costner is less interested in the old big Western escalation (the type that was good for him) and more in an attempt to embody America with all its contradictions, with its broken families, pumpkin, its heroes, heroes, heroes, heroes, heroes, psychos heroic heroes, aviations, Charlalatans, and winging leaders . HorizonIt turns out, texture, not a mural. If we’ve ever seen, however, it’s still far from a dream like America itself.
