Thanks, Anthony. What page should I have posted on? When it disappeared from the Movie Blog conversation thread, some minutes after I posted it yesterday, I was thinking that I had screwed up in my posting (I am not the most internet or computer savvy person in the world). I was naively thinking that it was being processed by the Movie Blog, and would go back up. So, I wrote a second post, which corrected a mistake in the first post, and added a few comments. That post stayed up… until I reposted the first one this morning. Then they both disappeared. So, I started thinking that there was something about my first post that made it be taken down. Then I reposted the second one… and it is still up. Please advise.
Thank you,
Chris

She bases much of her criticism of the film on the fact that three “young pretty girls” working as publicists for another film, used their cell phones while watching the film, and seemed disinterested. She also writes, “It’s too bad the character seems like a dim-wit and the script isn’t fast-paced enough to hold the attention of today’s audience(s).” Firstly, Bill Pullman’s sublime characterization of Lefty does not represent Lefty as a “dim-wit” at all. He represents him poignantly and lovingly as the illiterate, sidekick follower, suddenly way over his head, after his boss, the legendary cowboy is killed. Lefty’s struggles “to transcend his limitations” (as another critic wrote) are epic and universal. This film is beautifully human, in it’s courage to represent “everyman” as the hero. As to Wilson’s complaint that the movie was too slow paced for today’s audience, I have two comments. One is that she references the third act as the slowest, when, in my perception the third act was the quickest and most exciting. Perhaps she had tuned about by then, maybe distracted by the cell phones of her seat-mates, and possibly by movie fatigue, assuming she had been watching films at the festival all day. Secondly, if she thinks that this film is too slow paced for today’s audience, how does she account for the fact that the audience at the premiere broke into prolonged, spontaneous applause as soon as the film ended. Fortunately, there are many other reviews that really got this film, and fully appreciated Pullman’s sensational acting. If you want, check out my “user” review of The Ballad of Lefty Brown on IMDb, or Joe Leydon’s review in Variety, Chadthemovieman’s review on Youtube etc.. I believe Ms. Wilson will prove to be on the wrong side of history, when Bill Pullman is nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in The Ballad of Lefty Brown.
