Nic Cage alt western centered on the mighty Buffalo. I prefer my Cage cagey and unpredictable, not bald and burly, but it did give the little emperor from Gladiator 2 a chance to shine. Fred Hechinger, that’s his name, I’ve only seen him in Gladiator 2 and Thelma but he was great in both, a promising career I’m sure. Cage was chill, which is not a bad thing but it’s usually means the character is not likely to be memorable. Miller, his character, was probably the most boring of the group, the only point of interest being Nicolas Cage’s very bald head, he looked like my bald ass roommate, strangely enough same head scar too. How can I look at the man the same way again? Kinda had a Treasure of the Sierra Madre thing going on with the distrust of group during a harsh mountain winter. It’s a damn shame when a movie reminds you of a better movie that makes you want to watch that one instead.
As a western it was bad, frontier revisionist western is how I’d describe it. No gambling or duels, rifles are for huntin buff, embracing the suck and livin off the land. I don’t mind this type of western but I think they could’ve portrayed the environment as a much rougher and tougher place. They had a tougher time pushing a wagon up a hill than getting snowed in the mountains for months over the winter. Lowkey, would winter be too bad if you had an unfathomable amount of buffalo meat and pelts? Now that’s where I think the paranoia between the camp subplot could’ve been better, supplementing the lack of stakes from environmental hazards. I think it takes the genre to an interesting place, particularly pertaining to the Buffalo, which I will talk about next.
Now the Buffalo… I think a story of the Buffalo would be really cool, I wish Butcher’s Crossing had leaned into that more. Yes, it’s about a group hunting Buffalo and their mission is to hunt a legendary hoard roaming some hidden valley, some Princess Mononoke shit. However, I think the focus on man’s greed in the context of this hunting party was too small potatoes to capture the decimation of such a beautiful creature. And the filmmaker’s clearly do have a reverence for the Buffalo, with a slideshow and some paragraphs talking about the numbers remaining, acknowledging monumental indigenous conservation efforts, and using ethical means to capture the real animals on film when possible. Idk what I want though, how do you tell a story of the Buffalo? How to Train Your Dragon but with Buffalo? Long ass review for a movie I would not recommend to any of you dear followers, except you Mitch, you put me on Mr. Cage himself.
Please give me any ideas you have for a Buffalo movie
