This partially explains my affinity for Forrest Gump, a film you and many other film buffs seem to despise, but I'll have to devote a full post to defending that film - enthusiastically on personal grounds, tentatively on formal ones as well (I think it's somewhat misunderstood) - in the future.<BR/><BR/>As for Fincher, I would not count him as one of my favorite directors and kind of unfairly resent the way he has become the poster child of the clueless-yet-arrogant fanboy (you know the type) with Seven and Fight Club, both good movies, but which (especially in the latter case) strike me as being overrated.<BR/><BR/>That said, Zodiac was one of the most formally impressive films of the 00s (like No Country for Old Men, it had a gorgeously composed grandeur which is rare in the age of close-ups, CGI, and fast cuts) - and one which future revisitings may render a classic.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
