3 Women (1977) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Tyler Foster

FYI, the story about how The Shining broke Shelley Duvall is untrue. She herself debunked it in The Hollywood Reporter in 2021 and there are a few people who are in contact with her on Twitter who have continued to remind people of her feelings about it whenever the notion that she was irreparably damaged makes the rounds again. It was an unquestionably tough shoot, and Kubrick was a notoriously demanding director, sometimes doing hundreds of takes of a single scene, which repeatedly forced Duvall to get to and remain at an emotional peak for hours at a time, but she has said that while that was exhausting and not something she would want to go through again, she liked Kubrick, and was happy to have made the movie. (One obvious hint that the story is untrue: she continued to work routinely in movies until 2002, 22 years after The Shining, including being the driving force behind several television programs that are arguably the third most important part of her legacy, behind The Shining and her collaborations with Altman.)

Very good film and a very good reaction. I hadn't seen this one before but had seen several other Altman films. Definitely one of his more abstract and surreal films- but using Altman's "realism" approach (the background conversations, the almost mundane scenes at times), you don't realize it at first. Yes , there is something odd putting about the characters at first and then the weirdness really ratchets up - but it still has a realism about it that makes it possible. As far as what it means and especially the ending, I don't take a literal interpretation , like the characters are undergoing a psychosis- but more what we are presented is an artistic abstraction, like a surrealistic painting , or a Beckett play. There's not meant to be a conventional explanation on what we're being shown. It's a dream, not a dream by one of the characters necessarily, but like a dream it has a logic and seems probable enough while you're having it, and maybe you can draw conclusions from it, but when you wake up you realize its a dream as a whole and those conclusions make no sense. The genius of Altman's "realism" approach is gain it presents a dream you don't realize is a dream while you're having it. My opinion anyway. BTW, reading Roger Ebert's review , he says that on the DVD commentary Altman says "If you were to ask me where I think Edgar is at the end of the film, I think he's buried under those tires." Definitely commend Dan and Sam for taking on this challenging film - definitely some good insights into it. This is definitely not a film where there is a "right/wrong answer". Please take on more challenging films and more Robert Altman. Not all of his films are this enigmatic- he is a director that likes to work in many different genres. But they do share an Altman "style" - that naturalism , background and overlapping dialog, slow pans and zooms focusing attention the viewers attention on something, focusing on the everyday scenes of life to give it that "Verisimilitude", sometimes films with a light plot (but sometimes not!) In addition to what's been recommended in other comments, I recommend "Cookie's Fortune", "The Gingerbread Man" and "Prêt-à-Porter"
