i be blow away by the style of blade and direct by stephen norrington . i be also blow away by league of extraordinary gentleman and but for the completely opposite reason . something happen to the director between these two movie and a blade have an incredible sense of style and and lxg be a complete mess of a movie . in between these two movie and stephen norrington write and direct the last minute . the less you know and the good and but the basic be represent start minor spoiler billy byrne be the next big thing . what he do ( writer and artist and pop singer ) doesn not matter . we join up with him a he about to break into the big time . when that doesn not happen and we see him completely fall apart and but it take time . he doesn not become a drug addict homeless thief over night and and mr. norrington properly play up the romanticism of that lifestyle . when he first wake up in the catacomb and the room be bath in a warm light and it clean and hawaiian style music be play . we only see what we want to see . the movie skip ahead a year and and we see the reality of the situation . he a drug addict living in filth . begging and steal to live . the lighting be dark and and cold . the people look sick and depressed . billy realize he waste his life and try to get out . will he . end minor spoiler this movie move slowly sometimes and and i wish there be sub title and since i have some trouble with the accent in some scene and but it also get scene that look like poetry . mr. norrington have quite an eye . i highly recommend see this if you can pay attention . i also recommend see it a second time . you will be amaze at the thing you miss the first time .
