I suspect the producers used a public survey on what the audience want in a movie and then tried to stuff everything in, fitting or not.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-25249100548045077252017-01-24T21:54:55.624+02:002017-01-24T21:54:55.624+02:00To me, Rio Bravo could have benefited from a rewri...To me, Rio Bravo could have benefited from a rewrite and cutting out needless dialogue. But maybe that's the charm of the film for some viewers, that the characters are verbose and there is irelevant stuff.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-30586079783639535062017-01-24T21:19:38.990+02:002017-01-24T21:19:38.990+02:00Dialogue does not bother me, really.

The problem for me with Rio Bravo is that it piles so much irelevant stuff onto the movie that it points in all directions and loses focus.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-26132705418438307462017-01-24T20:28:20.015+02:002017-01-24T20:28:20.015+02:00We spoke on this one before, and I was surprised R...We spoke on this one before, and I was surprised Rio Bravo had the look of a stage play. Tarantino's western Hateful Eight was inspired by the talky style. Both films I felt had too much dialogue.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-82576431283409349992016-12-20T10:25:15.892+02:002016-12-20T10:25:15.892+02:00I think I missed that too.

Those big sweeps that makes you long to be there.<br />It feels very conservative, very safe and thereforre ultimately dull.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-29149266543893058832016-12-20T10:22:51.862+02:002016-12-20T10:22:51.862+02:00It was High Noon I had in mind when I watched this...It was High Noon I had in mind when I watched this and perhaps that is unfair to Rio Bravo. On almost every account that is a better movie. It is economic and to the point, everything makes sense and help explain the situation and it is clearly an intelligent movie. On all those accounts Rio Bravo falls short. There is so much unnecessary filler here, critical elements are never explained and while I would not go as far as saying it is stupid, it certainly does not convey that sense that this is a carefully thought out movie. <br />High Noon was a response to the McCarthy witchhunt and as an answer to that Rio Bravo emphasize all the values it sees as true patriotic values. The problem there is that it makes the movie look pathetic and counter intuitive.

After High Noon, you can't go back. It didn't feel as cinematic as previous Westerns I've seen; not enough beautiful sweeping vistas for me!Julia Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041411551162128922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-65591883823118605982016-12-20T08:05:32.708+02:002016-12-20T08:05:32.708+02:00If you ever revisit this, watch High Noon with it....If you ever revisit this, watch High Noon with it. John Wayne intended this to be his answer to High Noon, a movie he hated.<br /><br />I don't hate Rio Bravo, but it's not as good as High Noon, and isn't as good at despite being considerably longer.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
