Viewing Notes
RIP Gene Hackman, not just one of the great ones but the great one.
Fastest way to my cinema-loving heart is to set a movie in Chicago, esp. during the seventies or eighties. Just seeing the city in the early seventies had me hooked and I only wish the entire movie was in Chicago. Ofc putting Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman in the film is only gonna take it up a notch. And good lord Sissy Spacek. wowza
A lot of chatter about Hackman today following the news of his passing so I had to watch a movie featuring him. He’s a real evil SOB in this and he’s also good playing that kind of character. Why Hackman is so good is that when you watch him you know it’s Hackman yet you buy the character he’s playing and he’s believable as that character. Seems obvious but when I watch a Tom Cruise movie, I see Tom Cruise being… Tom Cruise. Great at what he does but he’s Tom Cruise. Hackman on the other becomes that character he’s portraying and you see past the “oh that’s Gene Hackman.” I always love that about his films. Probably not explaining that very well here but it’s late and I’m tired. haha
