Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 2014, Billy Bob Thornton told Entertainment Weekly that the rumors of his original cut being somewhere in between 3 to 4h long were incorrect, but that his cut was 2:42h. He also mentioned that he still is in possession of his original version.
- GoofsThe Beech 18 airplane that Don Hector flies from his ranch to Mexico City every week has a US registration number beginning with "N." Aircraft registered in Mexico have registration numbers beginning with "XA," "XB" or "XC." However, foreign aircraft may be registered in the US via a trust arrangement, provided the trustee is a US citizen or resident alien. Thus, Don Hector's plane could correctly display the US 'N' number.
- Crazy creditsThe Columbia Pictures logo is the 1940s version, which fits with the time period of the film.
- Alternate versionsThe first cut by director Billy Bob Thornton was ca. 4 hours long. It was later cut down to the 116 min. version released to theatres.
Featured review
beautiful, lyrical, visually haunting
not without faults - the cuts that director billy bob thornton was rumored to have been required to make were obvious, especially if one read the novel - but a visually stunning masterpiece nevertheless. the score was the perfect backdrop and, along with the setting, as much a character in the film as john grady, blevins, lacey and the rest. and i don't know which damon and cruz the rest of the imdb users were watching, but i thought their chemistry set the screen alight - with one look, it was obvious that their passions ran deep. lucas black was a wonder, completely inhabiting his character - at once endearingly, refreshingly funny, honest and heartbreaking. a shame about the cuts thornton had to make as certain storylines should have been given the chance to further develop and unfold. the film was luxuriously slow-paced, and though i was left at the end wanting more, i'm not convinced that that was a bad thing.
