About this product

Product Information

Based on the novel by James Ellroy, Brian De Palma's THE BLACK DAHLIA stars Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart as a pair of LAPD detectives assigned to the most notorious murder in Hollywood history. De Palma takes things slow, spending a good 20 minutes establishing the relationship between Buddy Bleichert, Lee Blanchard, and their mutual love Kay (Scarlett Johanssen), before introducing the 1947 murder after which the film is named. In the haunting screen-tests left behind after her mysterious death, aspiring actress Elizabeth Short appears to want fame so badly she'll do anything to get it. Her pornographic film appearances, and a rumored affair with narcissist heiress Madeleine Linscott (Hillary Swank), provide just two clues in a sea of confusion.THE BLACK DAHLIA crams every subplot from Ellroy's novel into two hours, but only connects them towards the end of the movie. The screen-tests featuring a sadly desperate Elizabeth Short (Mia Kirshner) are captivatingly filmed in gritty black-and-white. These scenes succeed in showing the industry ugliness most likely behind Elizabeth's death, while the rest of the film self-consciously strives to be noir through elaborate set design, dramatic camera angles, and narration taken straight from the book. If De Palma's goal was to make us examine our own voyeuristic fascination with murder, particularly the gruesome murder of a beautiful young woman, then he succeeds, because throughout a film invested in so many different storylines, Short's remains the most interesting one.

The Black Dahlia (DVD, 2006)
This was a poorly filmed and directed movie. It seems like a project that nobody really wanted to do, so they did it poorly. This is a famously popular topic in the police history of LA. In the sixty years since Elizabeth Short's nude, cut into two pieces body was discovered in a Los Angeles vacant lot all sorts of things have been said. It appears clear to me that this was a case that has either political or Big-Money ties, and therefore was too "hot" to solve. Evidence was lost and mishandled, and too many hands were all over this case. I thought that the dialogue was awful and the musical score totally unbefitting to this film. The story is an important one, but the film didn't advance anything new.

Not Very Good, Not Very Good at all
Not Very Good, Not Very Good at all The Black Dahlia was nothing that I thought it'd be and that turned me away from the movie from the beginning. It was very hard to follow due to shifting scenes and a hard to follow storyline. At 2 hours long the movie finally got decent 3/4 of the way through, but that wasn't enough to save this movie. This movie is far too confusing and most of the stuff that confused you still doesn't make sense after everything unravels at the end. Final Verdict: 2/5 Rent or Buy?: I wish I hadn't wasted the $5 I did renting this movie. If you have the movie channel, wait until it comes on, if not rent this one, but make sure you use a rent one get one free coupon. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

The Black Dahlia
I m watching this movie now and am truely disappointed. Being a true crime buff, I had been eagerly awaiting viewing this movie. The movie starts out with overly long character sketches of the detectives investigating the crime, to which none of it makes any difference in the movie or the crime. It is long and tedious and finally they introduce the murder of the Dahlia, then it is more about the detectives. It is terribly boring and could have been a great film if they concentrated on the title of the movie and not on the detectives. YAWN. I suggest taking out a book from the library, it would be far more entertaining and you will actually learn more about this legendary murder than you will in this movie.
