You know the problem with Hollywood?

They make shit. Unbelievable,
-
unremarkable shit.

I'm not some wannabe filmmaker...

...searching for existentialism

through a haze of bong smoke.

No, it's easy to pick apart bad
-
acting, shortsighted directing...
|

00:00:52.120 |

...and a moronic stringing-together
-
of words the studios term as prose.

No, I'm talking about the

lack of realism. Realism.

Not a pervasive element in

modern American 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,

easily Lumet's best.

The cinematography, the acting,
-
the screenplay, all topnotch. But...

00:01:31.920 |

What if, in Dog Day, Sonny wanted to
-
get away with it? Really wanted that.
