Heaven's Gate

"Heaven's Gate" seems to have been shrouded in the shadow of a box-office fiasco that led to United Artists' bankruptcy, making most audiences lose interest in it, or even completely ignore the film's essence. Magnificently written, the plot is different from mainstream movies and makes good use of nervous and fancy gimmicks. It is plain but not boring. It is full of poetic descriptions of daily life, and there are also many interesting passages. A musician who plays the violin while skating is impatient at the dinner table A girl who takes off her clothes and enjoys sex, a gunman in a suit full of shoes on the train... It would be too arbitrary to measure the pros and cons of a movie by the box office alone. Pity that this work has been infamous for so many years in vain - BY: Herbsttag

    Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" is very trivial and procrastinated, and it made me jump to finish it. This film is even more procrastinated, and his work, "The Sicilian", can be more compact. There are so many nonsense sequences and scenes in this film that I watched it for two hours without knowing what the subject was about. In addition, as an Italian director, Cimino's art film style is quite obvious, but the art film in the 1970s and 1980s has long been a trend under the promotion of Italian directors.
