Re: Last movie you watched
I was underwhelmed when I revisited The Untouchables last year on Netflix. No one involved, from Mamet to De Palma to Morricone to Costner, is doing their best work.
At this time Mamet was in the process of beginning to direct his own stuff (House of Games, a way better movie I think, comes out later that same year in October of '87), and I always thought Untouchables would have been much better had Mamet done it himself. There's this tension between De Palma's emphatic stylistic choices and the norms of the depression-era gangster genre in which he's working. Whereas Mamet, even then, had a lighter touch.
The baby carriage rolling down the steps is an homage to The Battleship Potemkin.
