I agree with easy and kosmo, I’m also in favor of the first one, even though the second is a great film as well. The third one has sometimes been talked about too negatively; it may not be on the level of the first two, but the ending is unforgettable. Overall, though, the epic slowness of the three films becomes quite exhausting, and perhaps for this reason, I prefer "quei bravi ragazzi" by Scorsese to the Godfather saga. The review isn’t badly done, but I don’t understand why review the trilogy all at once, almost as if it’s a race to grab the titles.

"You know, in movies, like in many other artistic expressions, I have always placed a lot of importance on the recognizability of the product" no, I actually dislike that concept entirely. And then I start to think that often the stuff that is most remembered isn't the best; the albums considered "epoch-making" create an era, they shape the culture, and in the end, truly massive albums are appreciated by very few. It’s often the same in cinema. Thus, recognizability simply indicates that a certain artistic product has been appreciated by a wide audience, it does not confirm that it is the best. If I were Confucius I would say, "Breadth is not depth." Man, sometimes I scare myself with how insightful I am; you can use that if you want, "breadth is not depth." Think about it.

I've noticed that a very large group of people is forming who hate all films that feature deconstructed plots, seeing them as banal and gratuitous exercises in style. At the top of the blacklist, alongside Lynch and a few others, is of course Memento. However, we should come to an agreement on what "gratuitous exercise in style" means: as Tinybanks rightly points out, the reverse editing technique serves to place us in the protagonist's shoes, to know the things he knows, (even though, in reality, we know more: silly example, when SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER they spit in his coffee END SPOILER). For me, perhaps because I haven’t seen enough yet, it remains absolutely one of the best films of this otherwise very poor decade.

I checked on sprach and you're right (although I'm pretty sure I’ve read spracht a lot of times, who knows why). About the film, I saw that I hit one of your tsubo, so I won’t go further (even though the idea that it’s Lynch’s toughest film leaves me perplexed, since for me it’s exactly the opposite; tough is Eraserhead, tough is Blue Velvet, tough is Lost Highway), but for sure, even if it’s a minority, there’s a good group of people who think like me about the film. Not that this means anything clearly. But regarding the idea that we shouldn’t evaluate historical importance, that’s a load of crap; I EXPECT that the day the review of 2001 comes out, you give it 1, or 2, or whatever you want. Otherwise, it’s too easy—take responsibility for your opinions, come on, it’s nice to hide behind historical importance, “yeah, it makes me want to vomit but it’s historically important,” give me a break. I’m the first to say that before passing judgment you need to know things well, but since you know something well if you have a reason why 2001 sucks, say it, I might be interested too, right? emmòvadoveramente

I don't know, Trell, I think it's been a while!

seeh, thus spoke minchiadura! but I knew I was going against the tide. However, I didn't say it was bad, nor did I imply that I wanted to be clever, considering that Lynch's other soul, besides his visionary one – whether you like it or not, much braver – is this, very sentimental. It remains one of those I like the least (although Lynch is one of my favorite directors), maybe because I didn’t appreciate the goodness and the pathos that seemed to me (it's just an opinion, I didn't want to bring the TRUTH, not this time at least :D) a bit rhetorical in this case. Great photography, true, but it's not enough to change my mind about the film as a whole, just as it might not change yours about others (and now I’m remembering that you thought 2001 was crap, for example). Then I know, here if someone rates it less than 5, it means they didn't like the film...

My usual pointless fussiness (but okay, the comment should matter, but from 1 to 5, I’ll never find myself)

I agree with Trella, a beautiful film, to be watched and rewatched. More of a dream than a movie.

but I still gave him more than enough :D (the old issue of grades that everyone interprets in their own way occasionally resurfaces like a carcass)

I haven't seen the movie, but I wouldn't be as extreme about dubbing as Nick. Of course, many films watched in their original language are definitely better (I think of the devastation of Monty Python films), but aside from our excellent voice actors (Lionello for Allen, Amendola for De Niro, just to name a couple), in many films if you're reading subtitles you miss the visuals, which is the beauty of the film. And would you really enjoy watching a Bergman film with endless monologues all in subtitles? I, just to be clear, not a chance.
