Due to Cimino's excessive pursuit of perfection, the film's production overruns and overruns countless times. In the end, the reputation was bad, and the box office lost nothing. It led to the collapse of United Arts, the end of the director's final editing in Hollywood, and the end of the era of the New Hollywood movement. All the problems caused by the film mentioned above are more famous than this film, but the film itself has been ignored by everyone. Cimino's overconfidence and unrestrainedness have created two unforgettable features of this film: the suffocating beauty and the lengthy and complicated side plot. In fact, the final scene of the battle between the two sides is very good, and all aspects are at the level of film history. If the whole film can have this feeling, this rhythm, and the ending ends directly on the battlefield, then the look and feel of the film will be much better than it is now. Although I thought the first two thirds of the film was too slow, the strange thing is that I didn't feel bored or sleepy because of the length of this film. Maybe this film is destined to be accompanied by this kind of slowness. Does the style have its own unique charm? I can't tell. Thinking about it now, if someone suppressed Cimino back then, film history probably wouldn’t have been written in this way. Cimino would also have the opportunity to make a movie that could go down in history even more. "Door" can still have such a slow but beautiful unique temperament? Who knows. Anyway, Mr. Cimino, I've read this film, and I still can't figure out whether it's right that I used you as a negative material for my high school essay. But "Heaven's Gate" is like the shadow of death reflected on the cloth in the film. It is always reflected in my mind, and I will never forget this film.
