FIRST...What would be NICE (like really nice) is if Criterion did the DVD set when it came out. Only they could do this film justice...but I feel that won't happen.
But just from a photographer's standpoint...i really enjoyed the rise of Rocket in the newspaper business. I mean, the movie as a whole was great...SUPERB even. But watching Rocket take those pictures of Lil'Ze and his gang, and then have them printed in the paper was just fantastic! Oh, even better was him shooting that final gang shoot out, and then it's conclusion.
Like I said, from a photographer's stand point, that story was like an added bonus to an already bomb movie.
YES, this was a beautifully shot film. Words that come to mind when I think of the pictures in this film:
sweaty
dirt
sizzling
sun
grit
dust
eyes (Lil' Ze)
triggers
crimson
that's all I can think of right now.
