Yesterday I visited two film lovers, one is a screenwriter and filmmaker.
We were watching the news, watching real paintings, talking about everything worldwide and local...Canada and Scotland. Netflix came to the discussion out of the blue. They told me what they recommended two series and the latest Christmas flick...I think it's with Kurt Russell.
I'm not much into series unless it is based on real facts. The closest to reality the better in my book. We're all different when it comes to movies, series, TV, music, wine, food, cars, sports, cigars, ...all that Coltrane jazz.
Anyway I told them that I really enjoyed watching The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
And with an enthusiastic reply they both said the same. The writer/filmmaker even said that he watched it twice! They highly complimented on the sharp dialog, the good humor, the beautiful cinematography, the songs...Irish origin. One of them two friends is Irish, an artist.
We had no clue until last evening that the three of us truly enjoyed that flick.
You should have seen the passion from their faces and their words.
One is in his mid sixties, the other late seventies. ...Two super good friends full of artistic values, human values, life's philosophies, travellers, family values.
The lady friend mentioned Shetland on Netflix. She said to give it a shot, a series (crime drrama) with Scotland's background. I think it's Scotland here their main interest. Anyway I might check it out, but I really doubt that I give it more than half hour. We're all different when it comes to series and films and music and economics and the time we take for each hobby and passion of life we have. ...Too many movies not enough time.
For this film here, we sure are on the same page. You would love meeting these two friends, they are the most lovely people around, part of my family.
Christmas is coming up, and there is so much happening. We take the greatest care in caring for our children and all children. Because we care, because music matters, because we love good films. Because everything is important, all of us. ... The Ballad of Buster Scruggs ... à ne pas manquer sur Netflix.
