My all time favorite movie :tu

And I resisted it at first when the children were into it. 10 years later I finally sat down with it.

I got it then. It's all there. & painstakingly produced.

The scenes as he climbing the steep rock, it's just so beautifully photographed there. Same as when they're on the wall in front of the castle. The lighting is so comfortable and pleasant, it's dusk and peaceful. Like a dream.

And nobody steals scenes in this movie. They're in it for the good of all.

And they got Savage at the zenith of his childhood, it's right there at that fucking moment. And they didn't miss it. They weren't early and they were not late. & they got it down onto celluloid,,,forever.

Yep, and Savage & Falk don't kill it as would have been so easy. But, the production wrote & staged it correctly and the actors followed in and stayed back.

The revenge by the son for his father is handled deftly and with kid gloves. It had to be, else wise ruination could take place. The high/low comedy & love that comes before it gives way to this ultimate revenge. By the time the moment arrives, the chase has ended...we're ready. It's "our fathers" who are being avenged so we're able to "see" it and be at peace with it. There is humanity in all the "bad guys" save the Guest character. Goldman even even curses him with 6 fingers so he's set apart.

Its why I like Coen bro movies. Things go so badly wrong and just spin out of control.

No Country For Old Men... The ranch hand that stumbles upon the drug money. Well he meets a very random capricious killer eventually. Just gets worse as it goes along affecting others as well. It's great stuff. The Dude and the rug micturated upon leads to chaos. Donny gets a heart attack in the fight with the nihilists. On and on. Dude handles it all well though.

I think the Coen brothers are most likely depressed and see life as a big random connected mess.

"Only the penitent man shall pass."

"The Last Crusade."

I've noticed it drags just a might when they get to the (Cup part). A little too coy, coated in pomposity, a little too tight there, but, the part where he meets Hitler remains vivid. They move quick there, just drops thru the black night into the rally amid the smoke from the book burning. Like a nightmare. And they're all accounted for:::the chubby Goering, the slender Goebbels, et al. The movie is worth it just for that scene alone. And the extensive introduction of the young Indy and the Nazi who is not permitted into the Jones house not by "Jones" but forbidden by SS.

I always cry at the introduction of "El Dorado." The high strikes in the musical score as it comes in and hits, then settles and tells the tale, the hand painted prints of western action/lore under the opening credits, the words of the song and their inevitability of the legends being forged by not only Wayne, but, by Mitchum as well.

zihn6FuFWZg

Johnny Crawford (Mark) on "The Rifleman" had a bit in El Dorado, it's brief, and he's shot and wounded by Wayne. Knowing the fate of being gut shot he murders himself. "He had a gun I didn't see." states Wayne to the boy's father. In 1975 Wayne made his final film "The Shootist" --- in the introduction there are B&W moments from several of his films filing the history of "J.B. Books" his character in "The Shootist." One was the part where Crawford is killed. Crawford was thrilled to see himself "star" in another movie with John Wayne, his last. He was also thrilled when they sent him a check for $3,000.00 for their use of that clip.

He's great. Didn't know who he was at the time and then realized that's who he was after seeing later movies then Green Mile Again. Some under the radar ones that were damn good...Moon and The Way Way Back.

& he was excellent in "Joshua." An underrated (horror) movie that was panned by critics. It was an important production that lost a ton of money. It's fine though and he is extraordinary in it. Deals with a young boy (the son) who is demented.

Shown very rarely.

Yep. It's a commitment. Go to the shelf, locate it, open the case, open the DVD player, take out the one that's in there, load the one in your hand, close the tray, find the DVD remote, change the batteries, on & on. So, "you" sit thru the cut one on the TV 30 times a year. And we're happy.

You get to see the warden do his thing, Hanley playing that part where it makes you proud to behold. I read where that actor eschewed all offers by law enforcement/prison guards help in preparing himself. He wanted to strike a character all it's own, a pure specimen. He was magnificent. To watch him for over 2 hours is reward enough.

Hanley had good practice playing Viking in the Sean Penn early movie. Again, he was about perfect for that also. Every actor in Shawshank gives you something you can bite on.

I haven't seen the whole thing. Was channel surfing and caught Vera Farmiga so stayed until the end.

Yep, every character is shown face first, full body camera angle. Nobody is short changed. So, you feel engaged with each. The guards that come into the library for their tax preparation, the contractor who begs the Warden to layoff the next biding, the young kid who processes Red's orders thru the prison delivery system, on & on. Years later they remain in your mind's eye.

Sobering for certain.

And she was unrecognizable for me.

The park scene is harrowing. The camera angles are shot from low levels and give a fearful sense to it. The cops coming in at the end legitimize the scene, seal it. The father is in big, big trouble.

Yeah...every scene has a beginning and end. It's why it holds up so well on TV. You can watch 10 minutes and get resolution. Then get sucked in for 1 more. Same with Green Mile for that matter but that was more obvious with the release of the stories one by one.

Thinking about it...Stand By Me did the same thing.

I'll have to watch from the beginning. It seemed scattered from where I picked it up.

Yep, the viewer feels good, considered, substantiated, vested, entrusted. And so we're rewarded on our level.

Yep, definitely needs to be seen from the go. It builds nicely as these types of plots usually do. It seems as if there was a "feud" of some type with this production. A lot of bad feelings because of the loss of money over it so it was kind of suppressed at release. Something was up.

The Good, Bad, and the Ugly. Some channel just ran this over the weekend. I didn't stay with it the whole time but great movie.
