attention to detail made this movie. like you had to keep a special eye out just to take in all the props, where they were placed, whether they had dust on them. it was all integral. it was all…important. and kind of the camera paid loving attention to it all. like poetry.
what is with the coen brothers and that mannerism that all their lead actors takes on though? i mean…george clooney is always somehow the same guy in thier films, and now tom hanks was sort of the same guy too. branch out, people.
the music soundtrack was excellent. the cat kept changing. (it would develop fatness, different fur lengths, different patterns. odd.)
ultimately, interesting movie, well done, sort of dull.
