The 1497 bonfire is lost to history, viewable only in our imaginations.
Its quite…the watch if you have some time over the weekend.
For his part, McCoy (and Ruskin) attempt to find a way to capitalize on the controversy.
Movies dont necessarily need likable characters to be good.
But the ever-excessive De Palma stacks the deck against himself by fully indulging in his visual flourishes.
A long oner follows a delirious McCoy as he celebrates down a hallway.
Unsurprisingly, audiences at the time hated the movie, which still has a 15% onRotten Tomatoes.
But one of critics chief complaints is exactly why people should check it out today.
The biggest problem by far was asking Hanks to play a soulless stockbroker.
Now, to be clear, 1990 Hanks was not yet Americas dad.
Heck, he hadnt even declared that theres no crying in baseball yet.
Hes bug-eyed and manic, somehow even more over-the-top than De Palmas camera.
As you might expect from this description,The Bonfire of the Vanitiesis not a good movie.
It is, however, a fascinating movie.
