Devo ammetterlo, sono rimasto colpito. Ho guardato il film con molti pregiudizi, non sono il tipo a cui piace quello che gli viene indicato come un capolavoro. Ma la forza di questo bianco e nero mi ha catturato.聽Di certo non 猫 un ritorno al passato, 猫 un tributo. Al passato, al cinema nella sua 聽essenza pi霉 profonda, alla figura del vero artista.
I must admit, I was impressed. I watched the film with many prejudices, I'm not the type who likes what is referred to as a masterpiece. But the strength of this black and white captured me. Certainly not a return to the past, is a tribute. To the past, to the film in its deepest essence, to the figure of the true artist.
Alan Garner: [looks at his manual] "It says here we should work in teams. Who wants to be my spotter?"
Doug Billings: "I don't think you should be doing too much gambling tonight, Alan."
Alan Garner: "Gambling? Who said anything about gambling? It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win. Counting cards is a foolproof system."
Stu Price: "It's also illegal."
Alan Garner: "It's not illegal. It's frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane."
Phil Wenneck: "I'm pretty sure that's illegal too."
Alan Garner: "Yeah, maybe after 9/11, where everybody got so sensitive. Thanks a lot, bin Laden."
Alan Garner: "Hey guys, when's the next Haley's comet?"
Phil Wenneck: "Who cares, man."
Alan Garner: "Do you know Stu?"
Stu Price: "I don't think it's for like another sixty years or something."
Alan Garner: "But it's not tonight right?"
Stu Price: "No I don't think so."
Alan Garner: "But you don't know for sure? I have this cousin Marcus who saw one he said it blew his mind I want to make sure I never ever miss out on a Haley's comet."
"You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!"
