Manhunter

So the next category we have is best cinematography.

So we just talked about production design, but how do you shoot all these things and develop the visual language for the film? I started off with, once again, another film from 1986 called I went with Dante Spinotti and his work on Manhunter.

Did you know that Michael Mann invented the color blue? Yeah, that's a true fact.

Nobody has made the color blue look better in a film ever, whether it be This Thief, Heat, Miami Vice even.

The composition of where characters are, their perspectives, their point of views.

There's just so much really great visual work being done here.

So shout out Manhunter.

Absolutely love the film.

But yeah, I watched it on my phone.

And not the best way to watch Manhunter for the first

time.

but it on it was so good i i loved it i thought it was it's close to being on par and like in terms of like overall quality to silence of the lambs i think you know it's yes i was

Very different.

Yes.

Like Brian Cox and Manhunter.

But yeah.

one.

The Manhunter one, which sort of interviews the character with a different actor.

Obviously, Silence of the Lambs, one of the greatest... movies, period.

Certainly the horror aspect was great.

Yeah.

I think they did both.

They had one called Manhunter, which was like the...

They kind of redid that one, Red Dragon, with Anthony Hopkins as the Hannibal, I believe.

I mean, Thief, it was just a whole vibe.

Manhunter.

Manhunter was a vibe I'm still looking forward to that 4K US release.

It was good, though.

It definitely carried the movie through, but nothing stood out where I remember a specific track in the movie.

I think the scenes that make people seem more psychotic are always more terrifying to me than just like straight up murder.

You know, like to see someone get killed on screen, gun, knife, you know, we've seen it.

But when someone starts acting in a way that's like antisocial, I'm thinking almost like Manhunter, and you have Mr.

You see it, like, on Euphoria.

Or, like, also, I mean, Manhunter.

It's lit like a Giallo movie completely.

It looks like a Giallo movie.

Yeah.

We had Manhunter before that.

Right.

It's a different kind of movie, though.

You know what I'll say? So he – I mean he did – He did Heat.

Yeah, Heat and Manhunter

and Thief and a bunch of movies, Collateral.

So, so far, this is going to be a ridiculous comment, but the green in Last of the Mohicans seems like the cousin of the blue in Heat.

Yeah, that's funny.

I

mean, what's funny, too, is that Thief and Manhunter are also very blue.

Well, that's not true.

Special director's cut.

Yeah, Miami Vice, which I think also he just did a Manhunter cut people didn't quite like either.

Yeah, I watched that one and I couldn't remember enough of the Manhunter I watched other than like, I don't remember those happening.

But I think the Miami Vice one, people...

He moves a lot more.
