But without the nagging feeling that mental disability isn't really something we should be laughing at. I had no idea that episodic fictional biopics were a genre!<br /><br />I can't quite make up my mind about Dustin Hoffman. He's very good. But some times I wonder if he's more of a performer of his own screen persona than an actor. Then, at other times, I'm not sure I can really justify that. Oh well, I've got plenty of movies to work it out in.<br /><br />Can't quite make my mind up about the film either. Was I supposed to laugh or cry? I always seemed to turn up at every scene in the wrong frame of mind. Still, it was pretty good, either way.<br /><br />Why has all the fake blood in this era of the list been made with really bright, red paint?Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-50352000028862082942022-03-28T01:48:31.466-07:002022-03-28T01:48:31.466-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-73256492490343875572020-04-02T06:54:07.862-07:002020-04-02T06:54:07.862-07:00It did feel like a precursor to Forest Gump, no?

I was very young when my parents took us to see this, yet knew that Faye Dunaway's actions were inappropriate,I loved the idea of his story spanning all those years, though did think he was a little wimpy running back and forth from Indians to Calvary to Indians...but I don't want to give too much away.I thought that this movie definitely has a place in this book and that Dustin Hoffman did a great job!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726625184023392723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-25596527542547629762014-12-04T00:01:54.026-08:002014-12-04T00:01:54.026-08:00Hi Amanda, welcome back and great to see a new pos...Hi Amanda, welcome back and great to see a new posting.<br />This is a film I've not seen for ages - certainly over 10, probably over 20 years ago.<br />When I started 'collecting' 1001 films, I made it a rule that ones previously seen would count, but only if I could clearly remember them and was 100% sure I'd seen it all, and at leas substantially understood.<br />(I took this seriously, even inflicting 'Sound of Music' on myself again as I couldn't swear that i'd seen the whole 'beep' thing, and not just all the clips, trailers, and accidental switching on the telly in the middle of it)<br />So.. Yes, I remember this one, found it moderately entertaining and I even got the parallels, but do not have anything of note to add to your post,<br />Sorry.<br />But other readers will no doubt be please not to get a rant along the lines of Gigi, 7 brides or .. I will shut up now before i offend anyone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.com
