The Deak is a true legend. One of my heroes. He and Chris Doyle are my top 2 cinematographers in the world. Good little interview.

this movie is great, by far the better film than There Will Be Blood. And the ending with Tommy Lee Jones talking about the dream he had about his father...great monologue.

I want someone here who doesnt like the ending tell me what the problem is, I just dont get why. Jesus.. All you have to do is take a few minutes to think about what Tommy Lee Jones was saying. Its pretty ovious and dark and sad.

No shouting on the sets? Not even from angry fat men?

"I'll show you the life of the mind!"

"This is what happens when you **** a stranger in the ***!"

Etc.

I'm going to ignore all of the ridiculous comments above and just say this was a great read. Deakins is a great.

On topic: Roger Deakins is amazing.

Off-topic: NCFOM was supremely over-rated. It's a love it or hate it film. And as genius as Tommy Lee Jones was (for the, what?, third of the movie he was in), he was playing the pre-retirement version of the character in his far-superior movie "The Valley of Elah." Great acting, but the movie is about character, not plot, and because of that (SPOILER WARNING) the ending just hangs there. I'm okay with movies that leave you wondering, but this one left me not caring and wondering why I was SUPPOSED to care.
