I think this movie is a very good one made by some very good filmmakers, Ethan and Joel Coen, and Javier Bardem and Kelly MacDonald and Josh Brolin and Roger Deakins, the cinematographer, I think it’s the third time I’ve worked with him, he’s a good friend and from my point of view a highly admired coworker.
The thing I appreciated most about Joel and Ethan is their respect for Cormac’s book and how closely they adhered to it, and the fact that they had the wisdom to not presume to improve it.
That’s rare.
Yeah.
Deakins was also the cinematographer for 2007’s Jesse James movie.
I know.
Which is likewise faithful to Ron Hansen’s book.
Didn’t read it.
I have to say that when I talk with many Western buffs, the definition of what a Western is and isn’t can be something of an issue.
Don’t you get bored with that?
