actually i catch this movie on tv a i be about to go to bed and andit grab me immediately . sure and it parody and genre and but it other thing too . it be visually eye grab for a start . the oddcandy color be partly reminiscent of the wizard of oz and theking and i and but the total effect be disorientate and cold and more highpitched represent it clashing color dominate by the piercing fuschia red and but sometimes slant off towards yellow and or sepia and softblues . in european term it like see the painting ofpontormo and bronzino a mannerist palette on film . there be and iimagine a lot of filter and digital enhancement here . it self conscious but no more so than any consistent vision have tobe . so the color come first . immediately and you be pitch in an alternative reality of western ( sergio leone mixed with zorro ) and romance and but comic a thewestern scene be and these be not merely cool parody . thestyle everywhere refers to memory and of period and of genre represent if it be irony it be a strange poignant irony in the service of poetry . the palettechanges with the genre and a do the framing . part of it arepresented a scene in theater . the story be simple enough but acute in it balance of belief anddistance . it make sense a an adult take on the feel of childhood . i think it marvelously original and funny and alarm . oh far far farbetter than the vastly cerebral greenaway whose work might makea reasonable aesthetic analogy .
