Die in a Gun Fight. I just had the pleasure of watching this movie and it was pure bliss. It was a wonderfully fun take on the feuding houses and love affairs. It was beautifully scripted, directed and acted and has one of the greatest chance encounters between characters I've ever seen.
Everything in this movie is subdued, so you won't see cart wheeling gun fights and swinging from chandeliers, nor wildly gratuitous sex scenes. But the directing and editing, the ambience more than makes for it. And the acting, from the mothers to the stars is through the roof. Alexandra Daddario makes one a little afraid portraying this young woman shuttled about by her family (she is really, really good) and the love interest, played by Diego Boneta plays the perfect "I'm done caring" scion of a wealthy house. But Travis Fimmel (you may know him from Vikings fame) is absolutely hilariously dangerous.
I don't even know how to classify this movie other than those who were involved in crafting this piece of art took one of the oldest stories in the lexicon and made me forget I was watching a new take on an old tale and immerse myself in a wonderful, visual masterpiece.
This is the way to make a movie.
