I forgot maybe my favorite Hackman role, The Royal Tenenbaums

 

Hilarious

I was thinking of watching that one again over the weekend. It’s funny how they are so damn dysfunctional.   They literally hate his guts and he’s pretty much a lying sack of shit for most of the movie.
 

 That was a good year for Hackman , he also did Heist.

Little Bill didn't punish the two guys. He's going to give the horses to the bar owner then just tells the hookers he whipped them. He also beat Ned to death.

 

He may not be the bad guy, but he ain't the good guy either. He also didn't give out fair justice and it got him killed. 

 

"Deserves got nothing to do with it"

Ok, so I watched this instead as a Gene Hackman tribute.  Damn what a film. (Warning;  long post on Unforgiven follows)

 

Anyway, you’re right .  Honestly, if he gave fair justice all the way in the beginning of the film after the whore got cut up , none of this would have happened.  And in the end he did “deserve” it.

 

This is also a truth and fiction film or myth vs reality (of cowboys/killers old west).  There are way too many bullshiters in this film.  The worst is probably the kid.    The way that Little Bill just basically tore apart the myth of English Bob killing that guy was ace. At the end of that you can see the Saul Rubinek character “oh shit I’ve been following and listening to the wrong guy”.

 

The appeal of Little Bill is this : he’s a no nonsense tell it like it is type .  In truth, he probably is closest to the traditional “good guy” in the western.

 

The William Munny character is interesting is that he seems to almost be ashamed of all his deeds of the past and tries to downplay them as opposed to the others in this film who can’t wait to brag how great they were.  It’s almost as if he seeks/sought repentance for all those horrible things he did.  
 

The only reason we got a glimpse of the real William Munny is because of the honor amongst thieves ethos.  The ending sequence where he goes into the saloon and he doesn’t say much and he just looks at the people in the saloon is great stuff.  And it’s dark, rainy and there’s like a fire outside and it’s basically hell on earth and the Devil is back.

 

Last point : this is a great score.  I enjoyed the acoustic sounds in the film while these guys are riding along in the wheat fields and whatnot.

I'm not a be rewatch guy unless.with someone i care about and want them to see it (my girl, my kids), but think Yeah I need to watch that again. 

 

French Connection too.

 

 

Just read Bill Murray's comments about how Hackman was a huge PITA to Wes Anderson on set of The Royal Tennebaums.  Vet prestige actor not jiving with young whipsmart Uber control freak direct. Apparently Bill got Bill to push through and ended up as the "best last performance of his career" sorta thing.

I rewatch because I tend to miss stuff and also sometimes if it’s one of those thrillers with a t twist ending you can see the clues that were there that you didn’t notice before.

 

On the Murray thing, yeah I can see that since he’s sort of the bridge between Hackman and Anderson.

 

I do kind of prefer 80s Bill Murray to serious Bill Murray of the last 25 years or so, even if I do love some of those films.

I worry about Irish sometimes. Someone needs to slap him with the funny stick from time to time before he turns into Scine.
