So I am obviously a product of my generation . As far as the natives are concerned - that's what I meant by cliched - you don't see white savages. Most stereotypical natives are not white - in movies or in real life. If you think about it: they might be black because they spend a lot of time in the sun without putting on SPF 35 or something. And I'm not saying Merian C. Cooper was ignorant as far as wildlife is concerned. I've read his bio on imdb.com and read about his exploits. Obviously he's very talented considering he perfected a process that wouldn't be topped until Jurassic Park.

I have seen Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid; I studied Peckinpah in college (along with Kurosawa) and saw it. It is the only time I've seen it all the way through; that is if you mean the version where you see Pat Garrett's assassination via editing and flashback of Billy the Kid. Very effective scene and is my favorite of the movie - one of the few I remember. But obviously my favorite is The Wild Bunch - I'm sure you know why . Quote: PJ is a very good director, as his early films in particular show. I suggest KK would have been a lot better if the budget had been a lot smaller, and PJ was not able to rely so heavily on special effects. Probably. |
