Comments

One more comment: the Daniel Day Lewis-ness that occurred in this film was not in a wild/weird character (because it’s a 200 year old story about a traditional hero) but in his insane-seeming preparation for the role. He learned and lived primitive skills for months prior to the movie, all SORTS of stuff that would never be seen on film (and some that would, like learning to load a muzzle-loading rifle on the run) because he wanted to be as authentic as possible. Dude was camping under a self-made lean-to and cooking over his own fires well before any of the other cast even arrived. His stated reason for this is that every character he plays will be on film forever, and he wants to embody each one to his utmost ability. It’s funny how different people can react to the same things so differently, and sometimes it all depends on the day you’re having. To me, LOTM is not hopeless but a tale of doing your best against all odds, and seeking light amidst darkness, which is the purpose of the two love stories. During my own stint in war, we had a stray dog that my unit found/adopted, and we made sure it had food and clean water and worried about its safety even as we fought. Some would consider this absurd, but those same people have never, I would guess, been surrounded by such bleakness. We loved that dog all the more precisely because he was an antidote to the realities around us. I never checked on him after I came home—was too afraid of what the news might be—and of course he’s long-dead by now, but he had about 30 owners fussing over him when I left.

As others have mentioned, you should add ‘The Insider’ to your Michael Mann list to be viewed. I think it’s one of his best, despite what seems to be a “sleepy” story concept. Great cast and great performances.

I second this. The Insider is great and unfortunately often overlooked.
