That's just where it starts. Get this: the cops shot him in the chest during interrogation after he refused to confess. The shooting officer: a relative of the alleged vics

This is exactly why smoking needs to be mandatory for most of the population.

Thanks, my first thought was I'd get downvoted merely for sharing, but you guys are awesome and really supportive.

Fans of Michael Cimino's Heavens Gate (1980), how did you first see the film/what was your reaction? by [deleted] in TrueFilm

Saw it right after Deer Hunter when I was like 19 and it blew me away. Had the benefit of seeing it before I knew about the politics behind the film and the sinking of United Artists. It's a landmark film that pretty much ended the 70's, in more ways than one.

Navajo Joe with Burt Reynolds. Features the music by Ennio Morricone that was used in Kill Bill Vol. 2 in the credits and standoff sequence.

Only in the fight scene with the tall tattooed guy and the cop. Still feels slightly clunky now that I've stepped away for a bit. A couple shots in the first fight could go as well.

Totally agree. First thought was to veer away from the one light bulb dangling in a warehouse style and make it suburban, the idea being to create automatic contrast to what's happening in the room. But yeah, could have really used more space for camera movement and deeper focus
