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.

    Oil painting-like texture, awesome photography, wide vistas, dizzy rotating lens, very epic (really smashing money!), but it's too procrastinating, and love triangles can't hold up to the grand realm; Huppert!

    If you look at it as a piece of material, it is indeed beautiful, but many of the pieces are not beneficial to the whole. This kind of film may be more disaster if it is a director's cut version, because it is reluctant to cut it. Find a good editor and you might be able to bring it back to life.
