I have to admit that I'm biased being from the state, but I wish the movie got more recognition since West Virginia still has enormous labor struggles with coal companies to this day.<br /><br />To see my favorite cartoonist talk highly of this film, though, will never get old.<br /><br />And although I've already passed this recommendation along, Hazel Dickens will always be my favorite treasure from the film:<br />http://youtu.be/0ARJ9UoFa5UBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055491328198478516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-29712906655792342902012-03-21T14:46:06.498-07:002012-03-21T14:46:06.498-07:00Matewan is one of the best films of the 80s.

And so completely different from most of the films from that decade! <br />Yes, love that sermon / bonfire sequence.<br /><br />Miller's Crossing by the Coen Brothers is another film that came out just a bit too early. It's just as good as Fargo or No Country For Old Men, that both were nominated for best film, No Country finally winning.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541863702465505291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-59860607202349441382012-03-21T12:29:47.261-07:002012-03-21T12:29:47.261-07:00There's so much I love about this movie...

Kevin Tighe is an interesting heavy, like when he tells how he got a medal in war war one for being good at killing people. <br /><br />Also the scene by the bonfire, with Few Clothes packing a gun to kill the hero, and feeling miserable about it. First you don't really think he'll be able to do it. But then he mentions he fought in Cuba, San Juan Hill and all that jazz... It's a great moment of suspense.<br /><br />That's a very good point about Miramax and the quality indies. Harvey Weinstein could easily have done his magic with this one.Nadie nadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631487071378583598noreply@blogger.com
