DUDE THE BAD GUY GETS AWAY EVERYTIME LMAO

>>81488900

is the show good?

the movie is my fave Mann movie, been thinking about watching the show

>>81488930

The movie is dark and has a nu-metal soundtrack.

The series has a chill preppy beach bum vibe with cheesy ass 80s pop music and a party atmosphere. It also has some really weird and stupid episodes like one with George Takei as a yakuza sushi afficianado and something involving James Brown and being abducted by aliens. Not even kidding. But watch it for Castillo, that dude is the ultimate badass character.

>>81489024

I have heard the two are very, very different but I am a big fan of Mann so I was thinking of watching the show.

Sounds like it's worth watching though, yeah?

>>81489024
Don't forget Ben Stiller as Fast Freddie

>>81488930
First two seasons are fucking amazing and are a must watch. Season 3 it starts to weaken but still has some gems. Going through season 4 now and what I've seen so far is what made me make the thread(though I'm still liking what I'm watching).

>>81489082

Niiice. Thanks for the hype man. I don't watch that much tv so I usually need a push to start a series. The Mann involvement is obviously a big incentive though.

Have you seen his other show, Crime Story?

>>81489070

The show is goofy and for all its machismo looks kind of stereotypically "gay". But it's also a great series of adventure stories with eccentric plots. Would recommend.

>>81488900

What? Like half the episodes end with Crockett being forced to shoot the bad guy, then end on a freeze-frame of Crockett feeling bad about it.

>>81489119

Miami Vice has a lot of lighter and softer Mann. The story only gets really grim and gritty when Dick Wolf of Law and Order takes over the show, also marked by Crockett's hair getting weirder and making him look like more of an asshole.

>>81488930
First two seasons are great. After that, Michael Mann moved on and they gave it to the guy who later made Law & Order and it loses all its charm.

I CAN FEEL IT
COMING IN THE AIR TONIGHT

>>81489132

Or those slow motion death scenes where they take down a tragic villain, don't forget those

Or Castillo's time in Asia having transformed him into the closest thing human to Master Splinter

>>81489149

Does it have that Mann style though? Does it have moments of music coming in on the soundtrack and transforming the scene into something beautiful?

>>81489195

youtube "Miami Vice In the Air Tonight", "Miami Vice Girl With Guns", "Miami Vice Fly on the Windscreen...."

the OST by Jan Hammer also has magical character themes. Makes secondary characters like Candy, Stone, and Evan more than just story of the week plot elements.

Holy shit yes.
ALOT
some episodes just go from soundtrack to straight up music video
one of my favorate episodes (season 1 episode 7 i think) opens with a remix of the main Jan Hammer sound but playing "I dont care anymore" by Phil Collins, and that soundtrack plays thoughout the episode before the last scene of the episode where it plays the proper song as shits going down
I tried to find you a clip of when Sonny is walking the streets and for 4 minutes while playing "you belong in the city" but its impossible to find, but i am still trying to find it

Not that guy but you'd be silly if you were to suggest that nu-metal is not the main soundtrack of that movie. Audioslave is all over that movie.

The Mogwai parts are amazing too but they're not as prominent as Mann's deep love for fucking Audioslave.

Just watch it. Once you get past some of the bad clothes and hairstyles its a fantastic cop drama.

Don't expect anything cutting edge or too many mindfuck surprises in the plots but every single shot is beautiful and Mann painstakingly made it that way according to other people who worked on the show.

There are the zany episodes where shit gets odd with Willie Nelson and Phil Collins but I personally even like the last season which many say is where the quality tanks. Visually I enjoy the time period, its a nice looking show that really shaped modern cop shows. Its shiny and well produced and the soundtrack always fits well with the action.

Definitely Miami is p. much the episode that tells you not to expect anything too deep from the show.

"Look the main character referenced Waiting for Godo- oh wait you don't care because you voted for Reagan just for the novelty of having an actor as president, let's cut the bullshit and get to the action"

>>81489854

The scene with the phone sex hotline was gr8

>>81489801
Other than Bushido and Golden Triangle, they didn't use Castillo enough. Walk-Alone has some good shit at the end with him, but other than that I can't really think of anything.

He would have been a weaker character if they gave him more story arcs. He had just enough to be mysterious, and most of the other Jason Bourne style drama relegated to G. Gordon Liddy as himself by another name in the most perfect TV casting choice in history

He doesn't mess it up, he just gives it a different tone. Michael Mann's first two seasons are playful and cheery even in the dark revenge stories and character deaths right up until some of the insanity carries over from the time he was working on that one Hannibal Lecter movie that actually came out before Silence of the Lambs and didn't have Anthony Hopkins.

>>81490141

The movie is Mann's masterpiece and one of the best films of the 21st century thus far. It is an emotionally devastating, visually complex work of art that feels like a late period Malick movie, in the best possible way.

>>81490336
He got rid a lot of what made the show what it was(switch from bright pastels to dark neon, picked more somber dark music) and brought in his "ripped from the headlines" bullshit you see on Law & Order. Doesn't make the show unwatchable, but was one of the reasons the show's ratings dipped and eventually got cancelled.

>>81489553
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

>>81490453

I really like the pastels. They're very accurate to coastal tourist trap type locales. A little more on point than "dark" movies that act like everyone wears a dark grey hoodie and slim jeans from wal mart

>>81489553
I was just watching Phil Collins Going Back live in New York and let me tell you. It was amazing. Two of my favorite things. Phil Collins and 60's Motown hits. Phil Collins also has a massive collection of Alamo artifacts. Basically he's a really cool dude and a talented musician.

>>81488900
This was the most aesthetic show ever, wasn't it?

Next to Twin Peaks I guess.

>>81490705

You guys are getting my hyped as fuck. The main reason I don't watch much tv is because the aesthetics generally suck.

Have you seen The Knick though? It's stunning visually.

>>81489553
I was just going to ignore this because I knew it was bait but since everyone's showing their appreciation to Phil Collins i thought i would join in.
Hes Great.

>>81490731
>The main reason I don't watch much tv is because the aesthetics generally suck.

Same. Aesthetics really matter to me. Personally, I'd rather watch an atmospheric tone poem of essentially just some guy walking around to cool music than something with a "social relevant" plot or whatever.

>Have you seen The Knick though? It's stunning visually.

Haven't. I'm intrigued.

>>81490825
>Same. Aesthetics really matter to me. Personally, I'd rather watch an atmospheric tone poem of essentially just some guy walking around to cool music than something with a "social relevant" plot or whatever.

Entirely this. I feel a bit conflicted though because I love The Wire deeply even though it is basically as simple as they come aesthetically, though I do think its almost complete lack of style works for its very narrative style. In general though yeah, tv is so much about plot, character, and story arcs which are basically all rather unimportant to me when I watch a film.

Definitely do The Knick man. It's by Soderbergh, I think he's a fairly strong visual director in general, and he definitely brings it with The Knick. Abides by the necessities of tv drama in terms of crafting elaborate characters and narrative but it is really gorgeous on an aesthetic level.

>>81490903
>plot, character, and story arcs which are basically all rather unimportant to me when I watch a film

So you don't care about story and would rather watch something with shiny objects and colors. Congratulations, you just outed yourself as a retard

>>81490903
Yeah, The Wire was an exception for me too. It was just so good for what it was, and all the characters were so compelling to follow.

But it's definitely something like that scene of Sonny walking to an 80s song posted above that really inspires strong feelings in me. Some people talk about 'social realism' in films but actually more aesthetic stuff much more accurately and philosophically reflects the way I see reality, which isn't something you can so cleanly dissect and diagnose like in something like The Wire or Marxist theory, but is strange and beautiful and swelling and bittersweet.

And I will check out your recommendation, thanks man.

The first two seasons are great, season 3 still has some good episodes but has some really shakey ones, then things start to get dark through season 4 and 5 but sometimes they sneak a fun episode in there.

The show is heavily underrated and it's a shame it's just remembered as "dude pastels and 80s music" when it actually had some pretty intense episodes with writing that could hold up if it was on TV today.

Pretty sure they just give up on that arc at some point. They unfortunately do a lot of that in this show.

Like first few episodes with Lou the Lieutenant they setup that he is a corrupt officer when Sonny discovers he's sending his son to some expensive private school that with their salary would never afford. Have to drop the arc because he decided to quit the show.

>>81490464
It's decent. Personally I love the arc where Sonny has amnesia even though it is quite retarded and the series finale is a great sendoff for the series.

Overall the last season is decent just will never be able to match the quality of the first two seasons.

>>81496333
>setup that he is a corrupt officer
Wait really?
I dont remember anything that would give that off
he was only in 4 episodes aswell

>>81492629
I love this scene but this wallpaper is fucking terrible.

>>81496402
It's towards the end of either the first or second episode. Tubbs informs Crockett that Rodriguez was making large deposits into his bank account and when Crockett asks Rodriguez where he got the money he replies in a menacing tone "none of your business" clearly implying he's doing some shit he shouldn't be doing.

It doesn't really matter since like he said he was only in 4 episodes so it was dropped but still would have been a cool arc to follow up with later in the season if he stuck around.

where can you find torrents for the show

I bet they dont exist anywhere

>>81496094

Episode was deep. Makes you think the retired cop is just an eccentric comedy relief looking for a criminal that he couldn't catch.

I wonder why Gregory Sierra left the show. In a recent interview with Mann, Mann said he didn't like the actor, but elsewhere I've read that Sierra didn't like living in Miami or didn't want to commit to a tv series. I wonder what the real reason is. Gregory Sierra had previously been in the episode of Police Story that Mann wrote, River of Dreams, along with Edward James Olmos.

You can download it here if you're interested, it's in two parts and is Mann's best writing for tv that I've seen.
