Heaven's Gate behind the scenes gags

2022-03-14 08:01
The epic Western , which cost $40 million , is thin and loosely structured. The director repeats the method he used to shoot the dance scene in " Deer hunter ". It is lengthy and narcissistic, and only photography is maintained. Commercially, the film was a disastrous blockbuster with huge losses, single-handedly causing the long tradition of United Arts to go out of business . 
Director Michael Cimino was making this film when his previous film "The Deer Hunter " had just won many awards and had a booming career, but "Heaven's Gate" ruined it all. The film went over twice the budget, and the cut version was 5 hours and 25 minutes long. Even if the final cut was more than 3 hours, the impetuous audience would not be interested at all. As a result of the film's failure, the investor United Arts disintegrated, which in turn led to the gradual weakening of American directors' control over the film, and the studio's complete dominance of the film.

    The film was cut for 70 minutes by the studio that year. I felt bad for the director. But after watching the 220-minute director's version, I understand that the film company is not 100% wrong. Three and a half.

    9.0/10. ①The story revolves around the struggle between rich landowners in the United States and poor immigrants from Europe. The love triangle between the male protagonist who is sympathetic to immigration and the male two who opposes immigration revolves around the female protagonist they like is also a major branch. ②High-level photography like oil painting; great scene handling (scheduling, editing, etc.) of various songs, dances and duels, very exciting and clear thinking (I like the last two shootouts the most); the soundtrack is highly praised. ③The narrative is too slow.
