RE: Say happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week three times fast

in #emergency • 6 years ago

I prefer the black and white good guy/bad guy shows. I see enough shades of gray in real life--and while some people don't seem to be able to tell the difference, I go to TV shows and movies for escapism, not "reality".

Which doesn't at all change the fact that my wife and I keep falling for new shows that are all about the shades of gray! Because, in the end, I'm attracted to great characters and dialogue, and good story lines, more than anything else.

    I just posted something about a movie I watched - that is certainly different, without being reality. Actually, it is made of 6 short stories, and some are pretty weird stuff. Have a look at this:

    I don't know ... your review reads like Greek to me! :-) I have been seeing ads for this. While I won't say the Coen Brothers can do no wrong, I like more of their stuff than I don't, and I'll be happy to check this out when I get a chance.

    Well, review is perhaps a too big word for it. For one, I dont want to tell the whole thing, that would ruin it for people who want to watch it. But also, It's pretty hard to describe. There are segments that are so typically Western like a John Wayne movie, but some other parts are almost like Twilight Zone. As I said, a typical Coen brothers movie.
    I have been writing in german lately, because its easier and also because I have more german followers reading my posts. But you can easily put it through Google translate - its still not perfect, but better than it used to be. Here the unedited result of that text:

    Yesterday I happened upon this movie at Netflix.

    At first I was undecided if I should look at him. Western is not necessarily my favorite genre. Although there are really good westerns.
    Then I saw that the movie was made by the Coen Brothers. Who knows the films of Ethan Coen and Joel Coen, knows what I mean. And those who do not know them: nothing comes from them which corresponds to the standard and what one expects. However, some of her films are not good either.

    But no matter, Netflix is ​​paid, then you can have a look. And, boy, boy, is this a western! I have not seen anything like that yet.
    In fact, there are 6 short episodes that have nothing to do with each other and that are completely different in style. But everything as original Wild West as it is possible. And completely oblique, as the Coens like to do.

    Here is a typical scene (attention, small spoiler):

    If you like westerns, weird humor, crazy camera work, or Coen brothers films in general, "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" is a must.

    Well, I like classic westerns and the Coen Brothers, so it sounds like my kind of thing.
