Lone Star is okay...somewhat boring
I thought John Sayles’ Lone Star was a decent movie, but somewhat boring. It was just interesting enough for me to not start daydreaming. Sayles’ used confrontation well throughout the movie to portray themes of relationships between father and son and the issue of borders. I also thought the movie could’ve used a little more intensity. I know that this movie was set to portray a small town but I thought it was somewhat boring. It seems as though John Sayles’ is worried so much about trying to make sure he gets his focus points across to the audience that he forgets about all the aspects that make an entertaining movie. I believe that if he would’ve had made the movie a little more interesting with more intensity, it would’ve helped get across his points and themes better than he did.

I second the fact that it needed more intensity.
ReplyDeleteI would tend to agree that Sayles might be trying to get his points across instead of making the movie entertaining. I think though its not the points he is trying to put across, but lessons that he might've learned in his own life...
