The Long Goodbye

I never thought i’d relate so much to an elliot gould character but the opening was like looking in a mirror, and every scene after was magic. I love this naturalistic approach to raymond chandler. It just feels so right. I guess the idea behind the writing was as if this classic gumshoe has been asleep since the 40’s, thrown into the carelessness & brutal reality of the 1970’s, which gives that great contrast in character.  The “voyuer” shots are so great cuz most people would never do them. They arent visually crisp, but they really envelop you into the situation.
