Nebraska, the movie

[Steve M Hostetter]

I just seen this movie and what a joy it was! It reminds me of the places I've been and the places and people that we all like to shoot. Done in "grainy" black and white.

I must say Bruce Dern has to be one of the very best character actors to have ever lived! I grew up watching him and even though John Wayne was the "star" of many movies I think directors must of thought to themselves, If I can't get Bruce Dern I might not be able to pull it off!" Thats my gut feeling because I've thought to myself many times Bruce helped make a movie! I also remember him in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964) w/ Betty Davis.. I was 4 when that mvie came out and it scared the sht out of me.

I can't say it enough, this movie is a must see for all the forum members so do treat yourselves you won't be disappointed I promise

Regards

Though I didn't notice it at the beginning of the film, as the film moved on I became aware that the whole thing is vibrantly luminous--a really wonderful B&W rendition. After I started realizing this, I probably missed some of the movie because I was staring too much at the tonal rendition. :-)

I'm pretty sure the whole thing was done digitally, then processed to look like film. Real film was never that good.

Quite a contrast, considering I just recently watched "Silent Running" from 1972. I first saw it in 1982 when my parents opened a video store and I had the chance to watch all the Neptune award films. i have been a fan of him ever since.

I was thinking maybe they shot some of it with a 16mm with the distortion of the highway and street scenes

It wasn't shot on film, btw but on digital with the arri alexa. They added the grain in post. Don't shoot me!

I was just about to point that out! Oh my!

Really enjoyable film. See it in the theater if you can. We took the whole family--even the teenagers liked it.

Why not simply look up the technical specs of "Nebraska"?

What for? We already know it was digital and what camera it was shot with...???

Did you see the film?

This is just as I expected and doesn't surprise me at all. The film, while enjoyable, was technically hampered by all the digital noise, particularly in the highlights. Must have been an artifact of the "grain" algorithm. The night after I saw Nebraska my fiancé and I watched the Criterion release of Bogdanovich's "The Last Picture Show". Now that's some beautiful b/w!

Now watch "paper moon." Fine b&w and damn funny too
