Paul Oakenfold Swordfish (Intro) Lyrics
You know what the problem with Hollywood is?
They make s___. Unbelievable, unremarkable s___.
Now, i'm not some grungy wanna-be filmmaker
But searching for exestencials though a haze of bomb smoke or something.
No, it's easy to pick apart bad acting, short set of direecting.
In a purely mironic stream to our words to as many studios term as 'pro's'.
No, i'm talking about the lack of realism, realism.
Not the basicly element in todays modern cinematic vision.
Take Dog Day Afternoon for example arguably Pacino's best work, short of Scarface and Godfather part I of course.
Masterpiece of directing? easilly Lumet's best?
*sounds like a gun being loaded*
Cinematography, the acting,the screen play, all top-notch, but...
They didn't push the envalope.
now what if in Dog Day, Sonny really wanted to get away from them?
Now what if- Now this is the tricky part, what if he started killing hostages right away?
No mercy, no quarter, "meet our demands or the pretty blonde and the bell bottoms gets it in the back of the head" Bam-Splat.
What? still no bus? c'mon, ho many innocent victims splattered across a window would it take to have it's city reverse it's policy on hostage situations?
And this is 1976, theres no CNN, theres no CNBC- theres no 'inernet (ZOMMGGG!!!???"?""£)
Now fast forward to today, present time, same situation.
How quickly would the modern media make a frenzy of it in a matter of hours.
It would be the biggest story from, Boston to Budapest.
ten hostages die, twenty, thirty. relentless- BAM-Bim- one after another.
All caught in high-def, computer enhanced, colour corrected, can practicly taste the brain matter.
All for what? a bus? a plane?
A couple of million dollars thats federally insured?
*Sigh*
It was...just a thought. we can make it stop, within the relm of conventional cinema.
But if...
