Advantages: Excellent performances and music Disadvantages: none
...Scorsese managed to encompass this feeling of a change about to happen in the film and you feel that the band members at an instinctive level realised that their time as a rock group had ended.
With all the years that have passed and with the deaths of two of the group (Danko most recently in 1999) in general the film takes on a rather melancholy aspect but the music is still uplifting and it still serves as a celebration of The Band’s music rather than a requiem for the band.
THE DVD
I bought the 25th anniversary edition of the DVD and it is worth having for the excellent sound and music quality, the 35mm film is also done justice by the format. Technical details include aspect ratio: 16:9 WideScreen and Dolby surround stereo sound subtitles are available in Danish, Dutch, English for the hearing impaired, French, German...

Advantages: Great acting, plot, soundtrack, editing.... just about everything! Disadvantages: The film itself will always be dragged down by the furore surrounding it.
...Natural Born Killers : A true contemporary cinematic masterpiece, or simply an excessively graphic depiction of violence, thinly veiled under the protective covering of its ‘media satire’ label?

...get the better of him as he finds himself opened up to some harsh realities and finds himself making friends with a fellow soldier Paxton.
When I mentioned back to basics earlier I meant it. The film is shot in grainy 16mm with a very harsh colour palette. Everything is washed out. There's a great deal of natural light used in the film as well as a handheld stlye employed to shoot it. It use's no make-up and very little in the way of production design. This all adds to the films gritty reality. The cinematography is very good and is accomplished by Matthew Labatique who shot two other great independant films Pi and Requiem For A Dream.
As for the acting, well the performances are very natural. The unknown irishman Colin Farrell adopts a texan drawl to play Bozz. He's full of charisma and commands the screen. This has lead to him...
