It could be that this is an example of some-but-not all exhibitors thinking they can save on projector maintenance by showing their movies at less-than-optimum light levels, but I'm thinking that the movie was made this way on purpose. Do I want spotlights on the fight? YES, ABSOLUTELY! Why, when the movie is so low on kickassity in the first place, would Lee make us work to enjoy one of the few places where it does make an appearance? The bit where it went off in the distance was cool, sure, I'll grant that. But the bits where it was right in front of the camera were NOT cool, because I had no idea what was going on. "Ooh, I think he threw something! Was that one of the dogs? Holy shit! He just punched through a dog! Aweso-wait, it just got back up. Guess not. What the fuck is going on up there?"
Okay, agreed there. I guess I've been reading these "please turn the lights on Ang Lee" tirades against that scene as "please make this scene as bright and gay-looking as all the fight scenes at the end of the movie", which would suck. I suppose I was just overly impressed by that decision to not always have the camera right in front of the action, all the time, like a typical blockbuster, and his attempt to approximate the feel of what it might be like to, holy shit, be totally confused and not know what was going in the middle of this night fight, i.e. putting us in the same situation as Connelly. At least, that's what I think he was going for.

Also - where were the dead dogs the next morning? Did they turn back to normal-sized, punched-through dogs?
Don't think so much.

I didn't mind that they had different breeds of dogs, because you could tell them apart, except in the section when all three became undifferentiated grey blobs. I liked that they used a Death Poodle, because everybody hates those creepy looking big poodles.
I'm starting to wonder if Ang Lee and James Schamus were making a not-so-subtle parody. "Chew that last scene up, Nolte!" Also, I just saw Chopper with Eric Bana, and I think he "Chopper" Read makes a better Hulk than the CGI Hulk. Eric Bana was a stand-up comic!! Australian, mind you, which means he sucked. |
