 What's going on everyone got a brand new movie review for you guys today and today I'm discussing the Netflix new original film Directed by the Coen brothers and that is the ballad of Buster Scruggs Out of Buster Scruggs is an anthology film following a bunch of different storylines with a bunch of different actors showing up within these And it's all taking place on the wow wow West going through Prospecting going through the Oregon Trail going through a scary stagecoach and even going maybe to the outlaws and the in-laws You never know where the ballad of Buster Scruggs is gonna take you next I was really excited for this movie one being I'm a huge fan of the Coen brothers the Coen brothers is like more My favorite directors like working today no country for all men raising Arizona and the Big Lebowski are some of my favorite films They've ever produced you can never forget about true grit Fargo Miller's crossing they have a huge lineup of films that you can never forget to knowing There's a new Coen brothers film coming out It's gotta get film fanatics a little bit excited Especially when it's taking going back to the wow wow West just like how they did so well with true grit And I got to say I'm a little disappointed with the ballad Buster Scruggs. It's not horrible by any means it's very well made It looked beautiful. I mean this film is some of the most beautiful looking films I've ever seen I if I'm not wrong This actually might be the first film that they filmed digitally And I think that actually enhances a lot of the scenes because there's this one segment that they go through Which is like about a prospector in this weird valley where he's just mining for gold and it is Stunning how well that film looks and the whole film could win best cinematography. It is Outstanding what the cinematographers got out of here every single shot is miraculously amazing even the score is beautiful You hear it's that wow. I'll ask or you're gonna get but my issue with this film is with the storytelling The scripts are great for each and every segment Scripts are great for each and every segment and even though some segments do run a little bit too long and even a tad bit short at times And maybe not all of them were perfectly great the thing about anthology movies is when you do an anthology movie I always expect for some way to tie it in the end or at least tie in subtle nods and stuff And I do understand what the Coen brothers were going for it They were going for showing different aspects of the wow wow West they're showing the outlaws They're showing the prospecting they're showing the mind gold digging and they're showing the organ trailer showing all these different Types of phenomenons within the wow wow West that we all come accustomed to when reading about when playing video games about When watching movies about we see these different things and the Coen brothers are tackling each and every aspect of it But I was expecting for the tie-in or I was expecting for it to be entertaining it But the film came off in two different ways for me one It's like the Coen brothers wrote a bunch of different scripts and they were like wow. We have all these ideas I don't know what to do. Let's just make him short stories and make short films out of them. Yay Let's do it and Yeah, that's what it felt like mostly but I do think this movie would have benefited being a TV show Over just being a feature film one of the big reasons I say this is because the film drags it gets long and not in that Oh, yeah, I'm having so much fun because there are some good moments in here There are some enjoyable moments. I'm no I don't want to sound like I'm crushing down on this film But I was so disappointed by this way it just by the end of the film I felt exhausted it was like two hours and 13 minutes and I just felt exhausted I needed a break in between the segments because some segments run a little bit too long Some segments run a little bit too short and I wanted more from some of the other ones segments easily in here that you could have made Just a feature film about in general, but each segment just feels like its own self-contained story, which again, that's what it's supposed to be But I really think picture this Buster Scruggs come in This is the first segment he is and the way that he goes about and the when his story ends it goes into the next story And it has nothing to do with the Buster Scruggs, but I was picturing this film going What if the Korn brothers made their own anthology series kind of like the Twilight Zone series in a sense where each episode is a different story Just like how this movie did it and Buster Scruggs is the host talking about what's gonna happen in this episode I'm where it's going and what part of the Wild Wild West we're gonna be tackling this Episode varying different actors popping in James Franco Liam Neeson Clancy Brown popping into these certain segments and enjoying their different types The stories and going about them and seeing where it goes. That's what I was expecting That's what I kind of wanted. I think what have worked better really as a television show. I don't see why they made this into a movie I think it really would have worked better on the small screen. You're wrong I love seeing this on the big screen It is going to some theaters and it will be on Netflix all in the same day But that's it I do think the story could have benefited from that and from being an anthology TV series over a movie acting is great There's some great moments and you're personally my two favorite segments were the organ trail one I thought that was brilliant. I loved every single thing it got about it and I love how each story ended I think each story ended in a very different type of dynamic way But fit with him perfectly toned within the Wild Wild West and my other favorite one was the last Segment they went through is taking place in a stagecoach on a stagecoach of just people talking and it's so interesting It's funny. It's laughable and it just works for everything that's going in here There's six segments overall and I enjoyed most of them some of them I think dragged on a bit all the ballad of Buster Scruggs is an entertaining watch It's a mixed bag personally for me and I think if you're a Coen Brothers fan I still do recommend it you'd find try and find a theater near you that's playing it If you can't do check it out on Netflix if you got Netflix It's right there in front of you to watch on November 16th again. I liked it. I just wanted to love this film I'm a big Coen Brothers fan, and I just felt a little bit disappointed from this film I got what they were going for but I do feel like in the end of the day It would have worked better as the television show good performances great writing great looking movie and a great score The story and the segments all don't piece together and for me not all of them really work all together By the end of the day. I just again. It's a mixed bag for me So with all it's in I'm gonna get the ballad of Buster Scruggs a C No, I'm gonna be the minority on this one. So I'm curious here you guys thoughts down below So let's talk about it down below Do you guys feel the same way you think this would have worked better as the television show?
