sayles have a very interesting film on his hand with silver city and however it somehow become very muddy a it progress from begin to end . chris cooper do an exceptional job embody the essence of his character and a dubya of sort and but he wasn not nearly give enough screen time . instead and we find ourselves on a rampage with a character that felt less personal and less developed and and overall too confuse . the path that this danny huston lead u on inevitably become the downfall of the film . too many character be introduce to u in such a short time . these character randomly be involve with the progression of the plot and which become too convolute with each pass minute . sayles know what he be create and i just feel a if it wasn not be translate well to the silver screen . sayles be a master of his trade . his film continue to inspire and evoke think even if they be not commercial success . the trouble with silver city be that i think he find himself go too deep with not enough money or time to explain it all . at the beginning of the film and i have an idea of what be happen and but a more and more character be introduce and a more and more plot twist try to occur i lose the sense of the film by the end . while the end be very clever and very dark and i need more explanation . i think some of the reason that i lose my train of thought with this film be due to the casting of danny huston a our guide . he be pathetic . i do not seem him a very excite person to lead u on this adventure . he seem to go through the motion and but not really accomplish much at all . this be the first downfall of sayles important film . while i will admit that the character play by richard dreyfus and miguel ferrer and james gammon and and daryl hannah be interesting and i just need a good guide to help me understand their role in this political scandal . danny huston just do not cut it for me . outside of the character and sayles need a strong script . i sometimes felt that unless i be deeply root in the political world and some of the reference be well over my head . the entire reasoning for silver city to be build and the corruption behind it elude me . i be a simpleton that love advanced film and but this one just do not make much sense to me . there be several time that i find myself ask and why instead of see the whole picture . i felt a if the individual story be as clear a glass and yet the whole picture be dusty and murky at the same time . sayles need to concentrate more on the big picture instead of these small issue and which ultimately fog this film . perhaps i go into this film with the wrong idea . i be expect to see another version of primary color and but instead witness something less heartfelt and more technical . without give the end away and i think that the final scene be one of the most beautiful moment in political cinema history . the brilliant symbolism have stay in my mind for the past two day after watch this film and while the rest of the movie quickly shuffle away from my mind . maybe a second viewing would do good for me and but for some odd reason silver city just do not click with me . there seem to be too many loophole that be never explain or account for . an ensemble piece be always good with me and but when the character be introduce without explanation and it just loose steam . this be one of those rare occasion . overall and i be very upset with this film . be very democrat and i want to see a side of politics that i wasn not aware of and another side that would make you chuckle . i want to be engulf with the world of corporate money and the dufus that be elect . i want intelligent humor frame by the word of george w. and but instead all i find be a very confusing story aim at a certain audience of which i will never be a part . sad and this picture have so much waste promise . grade represent out of .
