@tadmonte how is this a ripoff of Marilyn? You do know that the Breathless Mahoney character that Madonna is playing has been around since 1945 right? Waaaay before Marilyn even made it into the limelight, it's funny how people seem to forget that Monroe's look, acting style etc came from the 30s and 40s era of hollywood (notably Jean Harlow, the person who influenced Marilyn immensely)
SHE ISNT WORTHY TO SING THIS SONG..............i love alot of Madonnas song but She is a mediocre singer!!!!!!! she cant hold a candle most of the greats when comparing voice only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
f**k off!! are you not worthy to drive a car because there are people who drive rally cars that are more percise!? who gives a f**k? plus for your info, look at when she performed and sang this live at the 1991 oscars, she sounded much betttr than singing it here and it was live
Dick Tracy is very original, unique and funny movie. Warren Beatty was great. Madonna was no less impressive. Nice to know that she has not only "flop movies" but such great hits like this one.
This is one of the few films that did an excellent job of capuring the comic strip.They used bright reds, greens and yellows with black creating the comic strip colors. It has the Tracey world of bizzare violent criminals. You've never seen anything like it.
Why does this movie get such a bad rap? It has an enthralling story, it's dark and it's edgy and in many ways ahead of it's time. Not to mention it was produced by Disney...yea...Disney! The same guys who brought you Bambi! And oh yea, it has a killer song that won an Oscar. So... all you haters can just suck it!
DICK TRACY did very well at the box office, grossing $104 million, which was a pretty substantial sum at the time (and not bad for a movie that cost $47 million to make). Of course, a nearly unprecendented merchandising campaign didn't hurt either; a video store in my town still displays all its DICK TRACY promotional junk. Warren Beatty really relished making this movie, but was disappointed that so many of his favorite scenes were cut; he one day hopes to release a "special edition."
@QueenyMcfaggot It only gets a bad rap cause of Warren Beatty. Judge Dredd gets the same rap because of Stallone (and a few changes from the comic) both are very good films though.
@QueenyMcfaggot (nice name, by the way) I think it had something to do with casting Madonna. Breathless didn't look anything like her in pre-planning of the movie, but all she had to to was suck dick to get the lead role. She was only supposed to do the songs. What a twat. Plus, she looks like a giant mushroom in this scene with that hair and clothing.
@QueenyMcfaggot I love that movie. I don't see the bad part to it, it had a good story and was visually outstanding with a nice cast. Plus it did the bad guys justice.
I'm not sure, but I do know that Madonna has an album called 'I'm Breathless', with songs from the movie and inspired by the movie. 'Sooner or Later' is on it too. All the songs have this Dick Tracy like feel to it. All except for Vogue, that is.
I love it...to bad she didn't do more films that suited her personna like this. She took herself seriously. I like this "live" version of "Sooner or Later" rather than the album version...she sounds better!
Beatty did a brilliant job of making the comic strip come to life. He created the bizzare world of Tracy--a world in which the evil and violent behavior a person is shows on the outside, paying tribute to the 30's era. No the cast of big star villians is what made this movie stand out as great. It is the best thing Madonna ever did. The comic book world of Tracy, like this movie, is a blend of comic book and darkness. A surreal world.
Madonna and Al Pacino both ruined this movie for me. It's not that I thought their performances were bad; they were excellent. But they made everybody else look kind of second-rate by comparison. And the entire Breathless/Big Boy relationship was, I thought, really dark and not a little sad. It dragged down what should have been a fun movie for me. If they really wanted to go totally dark, they should've gotten Tim Burton, Sam Raimi, Alex Proyas - anyone but Warren Beatty.
Quentin Tarentino said 'Madonna looked like she was the only one who looked like she knew what she was doing in this movie' I thought she was great in this film.
Madonna is supposed to be cheap and trashy. A character in love with Tracy who loves Tess and knows Tracy can't spend his life with a slut gun moll like Breathless Mahoney. Tracy feels sorry for her.
She has that beautiful classic look like Marilyn Monroe that's so rare to see nowadays. Gwen Stefani and Christina Agulera could pull of the classic look too.
I was five when I saw this movie and Madonna was so alluring that my face turned red and was embarrassed to watch her in a school boy crush sort of thing. I used to have a crush on her back in the day. But this was a great movie. So well done I thought and it certainly showed a lot of technology for something that came out in 1990!
omg, i have the exact same memory. i think we are so lucky, today's kids are not that easily smitten anymore, perhaps. but, yes this flush of red on my face...you described it perfectly.
i like the cartoony look of the city in the opening shot. you don't get to see this mix of live action and paintings anymore in today's comic book movies.
For the movie, they intentionally used primary colors only like you see in comic books. I always get eye strain after seeing "Dick Tracy." Hmmmm. The yellow is very yellow; the green is very green; the red is very red; the black is very black.
She sings "live" in the movie. I went to a local premier of this movie back then and before the showing the movie they explained how certain scenes were shot and in general all vocals are recorded on the set
you have to see that city scene on the big screen. It's a super great effect lost or not as effective on the small, This movie was made for the big screen.
I loved this movie as a kid! Madonna is really cool in this and acts well (so why not always madge?)I love it when they sing more and are supposed to sound like they are doing it badly.
3 words Rebecca Kyler Downs (iTunes, Amazon or however you want it). She does Sondheim proud. Her album Love Me Like Candy is great!
