I read to live in other people's lives.
I read about the joys, the world
Dispenses to the fortunate,
And listen for the echoes.
I read to live, to get away from life!
There is a flower which offers nectar at the top,
Delicious nectar at the top and bitter poison underneath.
The butterfly that stays too long and drinks too deep
Is doomed to die.
I read to fly, to skim!
I do not read to swim!

O la escena de la escalinata en Los intocables, sin ir más lejos. Éso es El Acorazado Potemkin. Hasta en una peliculita chorra/cachonda/farsesca, como pueda parecer El Fantasma...se nota que De Palma ha visto mucho cine y que además, lo que es más difícil, lo ha asimilado:
"There is an inmense joy when you suddenly discover beauty in something that has been around you for ages".
"Waving the flag with one hand and picking pockets with the other: that's your patriotism. Well, you can have it." Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious.
"Listen to them... Children of the night! What music they make..!"

Yo reivindico siempre que puedo su Raising Cain, de la que Shyamalan bebe mucho en su última peli.
A todo esto, ¿podríamos pasarnos al hilo de DePalma, no? Que a mí no me importa, pero si hablamos del resto de su filmografía me parece más propio.

Bueno, esas que mencionas están entre las buenas, pero tiene otras realmente malas (recuerdo una reciente con Antonio Banderas que era una absurdez).
Ya digo que siempre ofrece cosas interesantes desde el punto de vista formal, pero es que sus tropezones son míticos. Cuando se cae, se cae del todo.
Por otro lado, hay películas en que su planificación parece estar por encima de los medios económicos o de personal. Por ejemplo, El fantasma de la ópera tiene grandes ideas visuales, sí, pero están ejecutadas de un modo algo cutre. La fotografía, la cámara... se ve que no están a la altura de lo que él tenía en la cabeza.
De todos modos, con sus grandes obras le perdono todo. Sólo por hacer Atrapado por su pasado ya habría valido la pena su paso por el cine.
I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason.(HUGO)
