The Outsider (1961)
why did we take his fame
the outsider was an excellent movie and a great example of how we gave fame to someone at the top and then just dumped them at the bottom to rot this is a movie so good it stirs emotions so well it makes you want to scream at our government wake up!!!!!!! you don't give something and then abruptly takes it away but then that is typical of what the us government has done to the American Indian for how many hundreds of years NOW ? yet alone the American public bravo to ira Hayes why didn't the pima indians holler out why didn't the American public wake up America!!!!! all veterans yes this is 21st century and vets have more rights now than ever from one Indian to another ira Hayes your memory shall never die nor shall your death be in vein bravo to tony curtis for a fantastic performance!!!!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
a real 9
i love chevy chase movies i loved most of his national lampoon movies not all of them had the script and laugh power this one did especially European vacation the worst was the Christmas vacation 2 with just randy quaid one of the worst scripts I've ever seen I'm sure lampoon fans would agree it was a poor script no chevy an no beverly (she put on a lot of weight after having twins and is real big)i don't know why they aren't doing any more lampoon films any one know.?and randy quaid to me did the worst acting job of his life in Christmas part 2 thats why i don't understand Christmas vacation 1 was one of the best lampoon movies out funny hilarious excellent script and yes i agree quaid did practically steal the show as he did in vegas vacation this movie shows what most familys would like Christmas to be but shows how it often ends up as it did in the movie a hilarious mess this movie a must for holiday laughs
Scarlett (1994)
you cant compare the two films
gone with the wind and scarlett are two different films they were never meant to be compared obviously the original actors in gwtw are all passed away and deserved their own separate award and praise i loved gwtw and never really expected a sequel to be made or ever live up to half the praise of gwtw but to my shock scarlett was just as well written directed and acted as gwtw scarlett in its own right deserves just as much award i now can honestly say i don't know which i like better i think the script for scarlett was a- number 1 perfect' as a sequel. Bravo! writer director producer and all actors Bravo! AS sequels rarely live up to their name sake this one runs equal to its predecessor. To those who don't like it you miss the point and a great ending to phenomenal beginning
Band of Angels (1957)
more true to life than a lot would admit
I've seen the movie many times and i love it it is actually more true to life than most people would like to admit back in the the actual times this type of life was actually real and very common place many many plantation owners took black slave woman as mistresses often approved buy their wives especially in areas of new Orleans it was practically considered a sign of wealth and almost their duty to take a mistress it left their wives to deal with other more social matters they often set their mistresses up in a little cottage and fathered many children the female children of these relationships were prized for their cream colored skin an highly sought after sadly if the plantation owner ever died their children being part black were not allowed by law to own or inherit any of their property
so for those of you who didn't like it for its truth oh well its more well written than most of the special effects computer generated garbage thats out their. now you'll get over it. truth is its whites who brought blacks here an made slaves of them in the first place did we expect them to remain slaves or inferior to us forever as we believed them to be we didn't take away their way of life we ended slave labor our white ancestors 199 years ago this is the 21st century! both black an white need to put it behind them movies like this need to remind us of that we are all the same color under the skin is stranger than fiction
Far and Away (1992)
one hell of a movie
I'm 2 parts french 2 parts English an 2 parts Indian an 2 parts Irish ill never understand why country's felt they had to go out an conquer other country's rule their lands and their people this movie made me ashamed to be English who took Ireland away from the Irish an ruled it and all the English who first came to America to share the land with the Indians but became greedy when more an more white people came an claimed what was rightfully the Indians an should still be theirs it was a movie that stirred the soul an made the blood circulate faster i didn't know who to root for but it wasn't the English thats for sure it was romantic it made you want to get up an fight for the little guy the underdog scream for a happy ending yahoo
