It's true that Barb Wire is its rip-off (dad)

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2016)

Well, maybe it's not the expected way to talk about this movie but at last, it's objective and it's not the one-sided opinion about classic, cult, magic. In addition, it's great way to analyze movies evolution : so in the two movies, we have a frontier neutral town before liberty, bad guys and rebels, a saloon-keeper who doesn't take side, a police officer who is not very clean, a fat guy managing black market, two tickets for a plane and for sure an old love getting hot again ! With that, i would say that the most recent movie shows more but as it's silly contents (nakedness, violence), the effect to the movie is useless. Here, we just have the characters speaking and interacting in a civilized way, so the old movie is thousand more thrilling because it's only psychological ! So those old movies in black and white and using out-of-date technology are not finally boring but are rather more punchy than the actual ones because they cut to the essential : humans feelings and relationships ! Anyway, this old one has indeed a fabulous cast : as said by Lynch, it's true that Isabella looks like her mother, Bogart shows than less is more but for me, the magic lies with the black and white : it's so full, so complementary in costumes, the white saloon, the black night, the shadows that it was like seeing a color movie ! For sure as a french, i really appreciated when our hymn mutes Nazis songs and regarding to the date of production, i keep in mind the line « Even Nazi can't kill so fast », which was proved totally worst a few months later !!
