Hit me with your best shot is back with a film that is known for its unique cinematography - "Dick Tracy". Indeed, this adaptation of the 1930s comic strip is all surface-level style, but what style! I struggled to connect with the film's broad caricatures, but I definitely appreciated the comic book aesthetic when it came to the bright color palette.
Despite its eye-catching cinematography however, the film is curiously devoid of "money shots", making this Best Shot exercise a bit more challenging than I anticipated. In the end, I found myself gravitating towards the long shots, which allow you to take in all of the wonderful art direction. My favourite shot isn't the most colorful, but I loved the film noir feel of the scene. We get the femme fatale, the trench coat and fedora-wearing detective, the secluded moonlit surroundings and the seedy city for a backdrop. You just know they're involved in some risky business.

Brilliant choice! I loved the art decor here. It's so styled and yet so simple...perfectly executed. Such a fun movie, too. I totally forgot this was coming back so now I'm going to have to watch this today and try and post something...UGH!!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to read your thoughts on this film!
DeleteI saw this movie in high school. I don't know if other movies did midnight releases before this one, but it was definitely my first experience! You had to buy a ticket in advance, and it was a Dick Tracy t-shirt with the image of the poster, and an "admit one" ticket pictured underneath. You had to wear the t-shirt to get in. Fun times! It was different than anything I'd seen before. I wore that t-shirt to shreds.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!

ReplyDeletei agree about the curious lacking in money shots. There's no obvious choice despite a lot of vivid colorr and beauty. but that's what made this a good episode. everyone chose something different (and usually there are a few repeats)
ReplyDeleteYeh, you're right. Makes for good variety.
