Landon's Proof Of Life
Stills...
with
Russel Crowe
and
Meg Ryan 
This is an excellent film. Does anyone else see some resemblance between this film and Crowe's
Gladiator as well as Charlie's Angels?
I see a regeneration of the Heroic-Romantic with a definitive masculine emphasis. This compliments the
other regenerative Holywood stream so to speak - that being the reemergence of the mythoheroic female
(Holywood seems to have taken the next step after Cher's Moonstruck with Erin Brokovich, As Good As It Gets,
Jerry McGuire, G.I. Jane, Coyote Ugly, What Women Want, ...)
Both these streams seemed to intermingle in Charlie's Angels with albeit much gender-crossing going on
in filmic mythos. Case in point: What Women Want with Mel Gibson and a miscast Helen Hunt. 
And the photography, my God. Proof of Life is absolutely sumptuous. This isn't just Holywood's wet
regenerative stream; this is the worlds, a priceless artifact of exponentially evolving cultural history. Enjoy :)
