• Trade Movies #017 - Meek's Cutoff (2010) and The Hanging Tree (1959)

  Jenna and I go NUTS for some Westerns. very thankful for her to pick Kelly Reichardt's excellent "Meek's Cutoff" (2010), which was tremendous and one of the best shot modern things that I've seen in ages. And to give me an excuse to watch "The Hanging Tree" (1959) by the absolute boy Delmer Daves, which has a serious argument for being his best movie. You can find Jenna here, which you should, because she's one of my favorite creators! :https://linktr.ee/jenna.sais.quoiChapters00:00:00 Introduction to Jenna and Her Work00:06:30 Cultural Reflections in 'The Sopranos' and Italian Identity00:08:50 The Impact of 'Goodfellas' and Family Dynamics00:14:47 Cinematography and the Aesthetic of 'Meek's Cutoff'00:20:39 Budget Constraints and Storytelling in Independent Cinema00:26:49 Cultural Narratives and Personal Experiences with Religion00:32:02 Culinary Delights and Cultural Influences00:38:40 Delmer Dave's Complex Portrayal of Women00:46:04 The Influence of Dorothy Johnson's Writing00:52:26 Contrasting Perspectives in Western Narratives01:09:21 Navigating Choices in Uncertain Times01:15:14 Exploring Toxic Masculinity in Cinema01:20:19 The Absence of Female Voices in Classic Cinema01:25:22 The Influence of Personal Experiences on Content Creation01:29:51 The Journey of Self-Discovery Through Fashion01:34:49 The Concept of Expert Opinions in Relationships01:40:01 The Freedom of Aging and Self-Expression01:46:50 Historical Context of Mormonism01:56:59 Cinema and Film Culture02:05:57 Influential Films and Personal Growth02:13:21 Creative Collaborations and Inspirations02:20:26 Navigating Privilege and Identity02:28:36 Parenting and Film Appreciation02:34:21 Fostering Creativity in Children02:42:28 The Legacy of Pasolini and Italian Cinema02:48:20 Exploring Italian Film Aesthetics02:55:15 The Female Gaze and Marilyn Monroe03:03:20 Richard Donner's Cinematic Influence03:10:29 Crush of the Week: Analyzing Characters03:12:22 Recommendations and Reflections on Cinema03:27:41 Meta Commentary in Film03:30:09 Memories of Moab and John Wayne03:30:45 Masculinity in Classic Cinema
