Pick your cinema, get a nudge before it leaves screens.
Велеречивый британец (Малькольм Макдауэлл), приехавший на Дикий Запад, просит ограбившего его бандита (сын Билла Пэкстона) поработать проводником и довезти его до городка Форчун — там болтуна-книжника ждёт работа в школе.Плохо снятый дешёвый вестерн забытого Адама Рифкина с картинкой в духе последнего фильма Уолтера Хилла и дурацким юмором, но трогательным посылом "учиться никогда не поздно, а книги — твои лучшие друзья". Ну и не так часто Макдауэлл играл настолько положительные роли.
Well, well, now I had no idea that Adam Rifkin dropped a new movie just last year, and on top of it all, a western! A bit uneven and feels rushed, but overall sweet for what it is. It had a goal in mind and it fulfilled it as far as I'm aware. Lacks the cinematic finesse, I was honestly reminded of Walter Hill's Dead For A Dollar solely because of the general look of the film, but that just might be some kind of a modern western problem at this point. Still, in spite of it, it managed to be amusing for the most part and touching for the rest. If anything, at this point I'm collecting movies where Malcolm McDowell doesn't play some variation of an evil maniac, and so far I have uhhh two, including this one.Also, my parents watched the third installment of Back To The Future tonight, so they had quite of a 'Oh there she is again!' reaction when they spotted Mary Steenburgen, only for me to drop a 'They used to be married, you know' as soon as McDowell walked into the room.
Only the educated are free. —EpictetusIt's an inspiring story for educators. It also teaches virtues and values in life (patience, honesty, humility, performing coourageous actions) and words are more powerful if you take actions. I really loved it. Lots of stoicism
