That is fantastic....I did not know that about Peck. That is fantastic. That is skill, to flip from one end of the spectrum to the other. Impressive.<br /><br />And you know, I can see Scorsese really liking this movie despite the story flaws. It has so many huge, gorgeous shots. Not just that one I included, but that one of the thunderhead coming in across the plain too. That was beautiful.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-84520882103222632462012-04-05T16:08:32.634-05:002012-04-05T16:08:32.634-05:00Bravo, bravo!! I LOVE this review, Nick, man, I la...Bravo, bravo!! I LOVE this review, Nick, man, I laughed so hard reading this, I'm so glad you chose this movie!!<br /><br />Your description of Jones is so spot on, and yeah it's mind-boggling to see her thought process, well lack thereof, going back and forth between Lewt and Jesse. You're right though the movie ended up belonging to Peck because he seemed to have fun doing it, whilst Jones' performance is so forced. Btw, did you know that Peck was filming this back to back with The Yearling where he played a gentle farmer? It's quite a contrast to his role here, but he was convincing in both.<br /><br />This was apparently the first movie that Scorsese ever saw a little boy and he's said it's one of his favorites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
