Speaks For Itself

I was told last night that Fernando Meirelles' Blindness, which I didn't much care for when I saw it at the Cannes Film Festival, has dropped the Danny Glover narration track. That's a good thing. As I wrote last May, "I was hoping for a film that would rigorously avoid any attempt at pushing metaphor into viewer's faces. That is precisely what Blindness does by way of [Glover's] narration voice-over." I'll be catching the new version on Saturday night.

I was literally just nervous about having to listen to his gruff slurred speech for two hours.

Hopefully they don't replace the Glover narration with one by Morgan Freeman.

This isn't the right thread, but Wells I thought you would get a kick out of this: right now, Fox News is showing the Sarah Palin bio video that was supposed to play at the RNC last night. Narrated by Jon Voight.

In the director's cut, will it turn out that Julianne Moore is really a replicant?

Burma - am I the only one who thinks it's funny that they're campaigning on how they'll accomplish so much and what great leaders they are, and they can't even keep their own event on schedule at all? (They're also spreading the story that the teleprompters broke for both Palin and Guiliani, and it shows how great they spoke without teleprompters. I missed the end of her speech, but he was clearly reading from the paper in front of him, so I'm not sure how that counts as a positive... and it still doesn't explain how they didn't fix the teleprompters.)

Wonder how much the tone of the movie will change without a VO?

McKellar's screenplay is still heavy on the metaphor. Adding a narration to what I saw last week would've been an act of violence on the viewer.

I am very anxious to see this film. City of God and The Constant Gardener were both four star films as far as I'm concerned. Also a big fan of Ruffalo. Looking forward despite the mixed buzz.

Damn you, Rich S, you beat me to it. As soon as I saw "Loss of VO" that was my immediate thought.

Richardson, it's a total clusterfuck and I'm loving every minute of it. I'd cut them some slack for having to condense because of Gustav, except these are the dbags praying for rain at Invesco Field. Also that was them shamelessly taking advantage of a natural disaster, it just happened to blow over and blow up in their faces.

"Blindness" bored the shit out of me. The voiceover, as laughable as it was, was the least of its problems.
