Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I thought that film...

...was completely stolen by Kristin Scott Thomas. Her presense was so strong that one could very well remove Robert and replace with a doll - the effect would not be diminished.

She did the same merciless kharakiri act in Random Hearts, where she reduced another "American Legend" - Ford - to a mere sketch.

And yet another scalp on her belt - Bitter Moon. This time Peter Coyote became the backdrop.

The irony is - all those three films are incredibly weak and silly.

It is also quite funny that before you made that post I was thinking about Redford vs. Eastwood myself.

The difference is I believe rather significant. Where Eastwood managed to create a strong, sympathetic and immediately recognizable character, Redford did none of that. He forever remained a piece of good looking clay with no shape of his own. In that sense he quickly fell behind Paul Neuman who just kept growing and growing into a true master, while RObert stayed locked in his looks and blue jeans.
