Unforgiven

I realize this is my third time posting today, and I'm sorry but it's because I love you. Also because I'm afraid that if I stop moving my fingers, they will actually just freeze.

As part of my 101 in 1001 I'm trying to watch all of AFI's Top 100 American Movies (the 2007 version). For whatever reason, I decided to start with Clint Eastwood's ( Read more... )

afi's top 100, 101 in 1001, movies

rewatching Transformers 2 made me see all the innuendos that I didn't notice before because I wasn't as corrupted when I first saw it. 8D

Have fun watching all those movies- <3

lol I was really too concerned about the robots to notice those kinds of things, hahaha.

I will! AND YOU WILL GET TO HEAR ABOUT EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Shame Doctor Zhivago was removed for 2007 as most people loved loooooved the train scene which went on and on. But I applaud you for the plunge in classic cinema.

I think I will move on to Ben-Hur, which has "Jesus Christ" as a key subject in the library search

Jesus, Charlton Heston trying to get into another guy's toga, movie has it all.

Kinda funny you mentioned No Country for Old Men since it's on my desk waiting for me to finally watch it.

Oh, you're right! It was! I didn't notice - I assumed that it would be on the list. I did not anticipate Lord of the Rings.

... Damn. Maybe this will be awesome. As in. Maybe I should have checked it out tonight since I'm obviously not doing anything productive with this evening.

I felt like they were very similar in tone and approach to storytelling? I remember feeling the usual anticipation of violence, but also feeling very calm, somehow. I suspect it's a combination of cinematography, dialogue, and directing style.
