The Proposition is one of my favorite movies. Nick Cave's soundtrack is
bewitching, and the landscapes are beautiful. All of the actors are
great, and there’s so much depth to the characters. Everything about it
is meticulous and nuanced. I’d dial back how graphic some of the
violence is, but other than that, it's brilliant. This is at least the third time I've seen The Proposition. I saw it when it came out, and it's one of my favorites. Apparently I don't even have a rating for the previous times I've seen it. I absolutely love it, though. It's great right from the beginning, when you've got everybody there -- Ray Winstone, Guy Pearce, and Mikey. And they start right away cutting to the landscapes, and Charlie on his horse. The visuals are so great the entire time -- the scenery, the composition, everything. It makes you feel like you're really there.
