Once Upon A Time In America / Re:foreshadowing - the phony death of Max« on: January 31, 2004, 02:29:28 AM »
Very good point 4 stars !
When Max had to imagine and proposed a plot to his new Mafioso bosses, he certainly remembered the salt scene. "I shall pretend I'm dying. " ( BTW it's a classical infantile attitude. Everybody ,at least once , dremt to die and so punish his parents. ) 5

As Noodles said to young Jimmy Conway after the oil bath: you (the workers) shall be always fucked .(french subtitle) Leone fascist ? Surely not. But a little bit conservative ? 6

DYS is a perfect example of a transition film.Often transition opus are weak because they try to mix opposites.
1° First theWestern quadrilogy manner:big effect , large plans, strong music, cynic attitude, magic gun shots 2° At last OUATIA manner: more subtile music, more psychology, no big plan , more dialogs , more realistic .VERY different. For DYS, between 19th century films (Westerns) and 20th century one (OUATIA) Leone chooses a transition period (beginning of the 20th) , a transition style (motorcycle and horses, guns and machine-guns), transition country (if Europe and USA are in the 20th, Mexico seems still in the 19th) ,. May be why many friends dont like DYS. Too half/half, not enough "Dollars" for some people , too "Dollars" for the others . Not enough revolutionary for some people, too politic for the others. Not enough magic ...too fairy tale for the others And so on. By the way, IMO Rod Steiger is a pure miscasting, Juan role was for Eli ! 7

Great ! Obviously it's impossible. I can't imagine Harmonica and Cheyenne gang " tenir la chandelle". Thanks Cusser 8
A Fistful of Dollars / SPANISH ACTRESS« on: January 27, 2004, 01:26:26 AM »
Saw "VIRIDIANA", a BUNUEL Film.
The maid is played by Margarita LOZANO , the same actress who plays Mrs BAXTER . Interesting woman, wild and sexy but not kind at all. Black eyes, angry look and deep sensuality. (By the way interesting film, very "Bunuelian") ![]() 9

Marx: The emancipation of the workers will be made by the workers themselves
Wolinski ( a french comic designer): revolution will be made not by people who desire it but by people who need it Mao: revolution is not a smart dinner.. it is a violent act by what one class overthrows an other one Juan opinion is classicaly conservative: Don't move ,tomorrow will be worse ! But Juan is not a worker, he is not a peon but a thief.For a fistful of Dollars he could be a killer for Mexican landlords or US Investors. For a few Dollars more he could be a Counter-Revolution Leader. Juan is far from Zapata, Pancho Villa and Adelita. Sean is far from John Reed . Both have a long way to dialectic and class struggle. 11

Delivrance is a great film, I agree.
But I 'm wondering about the mean of the word "nature" I remember that Dustin 's woman was sodomized in Straw Dogs and the poor fat guy also in Delivrance ,screaming like a pig. is it so "Nature" ? May be I prefer Culture in this case. ![]() 12
Off-Topic Discussion / Re:The Last Samurai« on: January 21, 2004, 02:34:54 AM »Lawrance's Seven Pillars Of Wisdom is at times frightingly close to that film. Maybe less on sadomachism and the British/French betrayal. (Thanks Smoker,) Do you think so ? I like very much the book: very dry like a desert sand, not so easy to read ... in comparision the film is a sugared pleasure , a perfect entertainment Hollywood product with a well-shaved Lawrence and some white actors playing Arabians and Turkishs. By the way ,is Georges W. the new Lawrence ? Shall he learn to drive a camel ? After Bagdad he currently dreams about Damas ![]() 13
Once Upon A Time In America / PIERROT LE FOU« on: January 20, 2004, 03:04:49 AM »
I saw this film last night for the first time ( nobody's perfect).
Great ! I appreciate the scene where Belmondo driving his car launched it directly in the sea with his passenger. Was Noodles a fan of jean-luc Godard ? ![]() 14

Jayson, you speak about a film with Dustin Hofmann versus Irish machos ? I never liked it, it seems to me an easy apology of self defence: " please rape my wife,so I could KILL EVERYBODY ." IMO , " The Getaway" is a great film from a great novel. ![]() 15
