  • Following the massive success of Dune and its sequel, Denis Villeneuve has quickly become a household name, but does his earlier work get the respect it deserves?

    I have to interject.
    Alejandro has possession of KAY’S gun when she walks back in from the balcony.
    He places HER gun under her chin. That’s why he says, if she doesn’t sign the papers, “YOU WOULD BE COMMITTING SUICIDE “. After she signs the papers, he dismantles HER gun and leaves it on the counter. She reassembles it an points it at him as he walks through the parking lot

      I didn't put that together somehow, seems to obvious looking at it given it's the same glock she's had throughout the film, and it would already have her finger prints on it.
      Can't believe I missed that!

    The other reason this film was so successful and brilliant was because of the cinematography from Roger Deakins. Also it’s why the second film wasn’t as successful, though it wasn’t that bad just not as good as this one. Not sure if you’ve watched Narcos Mexico, but that series to me was also good because of the cinematography and score which was incredible! It’s one thing to have a good story, but it’s another thing to combine with a great cinematographer who can almost tell a story on mute by how they create the scene!

    • @SixffFilms

    Great vid. Being the pedant that I am, while you are right that the word sicario is used as a Spanish slang term for assassin / hitman its actually originally based on the Latin word 'sicarius' - 'dagger man'. This is alluded to at the start of the film when talking about the zealots of Jerusalem. I love both Dunes, I love BR2049 and Arrival but this is Villeneuve's best ever film, IMO of course.

    • @SixffFilms
      @SixffFilms  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Thats intereating about the route of the word Sicario, can't believe I didn't think to trace its Latin routes!
      I think BR 2049 is my favourite Villenueve, but I will always love Sicario for being the film that introduced me to him

    Sicario 2 is a very well crafted film…I am ver familiar with the CIA and wht u are getter a glimpse of is of we secretly do things in other countries…the movie was deep not a waste

    • @SixffFilms
      @SixffFilms  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hey thanks for the comment and I'm glad Sicario 2 was still enjoyable for you. For me, it felt like too much of a departure from the original and a lot of the subtle character work was replaced with some fairly run of the mill action. I can't say I am too familiar with the modern day activities of the CIA, so maybe the second one is an accurate representation, but I still found myself disappointed and a little bored.

      Thats fair enough, I just wasn't a fan of the whole Surragate father plot they tried to do with Alejandro and Alarcon's daughter.
      I think Alejandro's story ended in a great place, so dragging him and Matt back out for a sequel just felt lazy and contrived.
