Great Rookie Party Games

WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART ... (Eastwood)

The great class!

absolutely superb film, sandwiched between Bird (1988) and The Changing (1990), and like Bird, one of his own biography, and not least as devoted to this "mad" by John Huston (1906-1987), director of at least three films entirely mythical Falcon Maltese , The Misfits (the final film of Marilyn) and African Queen (1951) , turning epic and completely delusional that it is precisely this question in Eastwood's film.

Not to mention the fact that the "lion" John Huston was born on August 6 (say there are still people who do not believe in astrology, the "real", I mean) it is thus possible without any hesitation, along with Howard Hughes (his elder by 20 years) in line with what has been called the "last great moguls" such as David Lean, being delivered in the desert on his gold-plated Rolls filming of Lawrence of Arabia (lol)!

People somewhere comparable to the "prototype" Hemingway, people always willing to do anything without the slightest hesitation:

People constantly "broke", but always surrounded by friends enough rich and admiration for help nicely (admire the house, anyway!):

And most people with enough c ****** s to, despite these "small" financial problems ($ 300,000 debt in 1951, although it must be around ten million Euros, these days, right?) To send tampers with the producer who yells about its intended purpose - because remember, the whole world dies at the end of African Queen :

With of course the best reason in the world, but which at the time was not as easily recognized that Nowadays, where the "Happy End" was almost mandatory:

And so, no matter: "Everybody on the bus!" as we say ... With the passage some gorgeous views on the Zambezi River Falls:

Just before arriving at the airport, once the capital of Uganda (place since marked by so many tragic events, I prefer not to go into details, except to advise you in passing that other great film about the terrible regime of Idi Amin Dada, The Last King of Scotland ):

course, like all movies that take place in nature, it is difficult to move besides the beauty of the images (as in Assent the same author):

Not to mention in passing the fascinating Marisa Berenson (here Katharine Hepburn), but yes, remember: the heroine of the film alone in the world without facing the slightest input of artificial light, the sublime Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick , where she played the eponymous role of the Countess:

Somewhere, certainly, this film is a fable ... But real story, where Clint took the opportunity to put points on the "I" about her own beliefs in cinema:

And a fable in which, undeniably, one feels also in total awe of this character that debt-ridden, discredited by its writer and producer, will also pay the luxury of getting shit everyone to afford (the account of others, of course) the only thing that really interests her safari:

Incredible, is not it (especially in our time where the Hollywood production shows a decline of 57%, without laughing)?

Two great scenes, anyway, where Clint settles accounts with racism ... The first, at a dinner with a young woman apparently very refined, it still leaves the enormities of this style:

With this nice answer (and this "nice" drawing):

Just before "fries" with the owner of the hotel, so ulcerated by his attitude vis-à-vis a black waiter - "negro", as we said in 1951:

Certainly not to his advantage, we will say

Anyway. Regardless, he did not care ... It EC kind of character, what! When he finally decides to make a minimum on the scene of the shooting with a zinc completely rotten, the only thing he has to say to his writer's death fear is this:

Because of course all producers, financiers, etc. ... are only concerned with one thing: "It would be better to cut the scene of the" fast ", everyone thinks that the boat will not take the shot! John Houston and replicate (this is all true): "Well, then there is only one way to know, is not it?" :

Arghh, the total fool! Still, it worked (note that the boat used in the film is Eastwood's absolutely perfect copy of the original):

And now : Huston has been running one of the crucial scenes of his film, and suddenly, without any scruples, he goes to the only thing that seems to interest him, his safari guide with his famous "Kivu"

Maybe he does not expect this kind of thing, too grandiose (who will ever know?):

Anyway Regardless, its writer is completely overwhelmed by the event:

Having suddenly the belief that "We other humans, are only ... "

Yes?

Or not?

No Spoiler (try to avoid, now) ...

But he is still after all these disappointments, all these crazy things, all these delays, the final plan (great) film is this:

Abort elephants get for once in his "Real" job, and be a cut above absolute there is that great class, in a nutshell ...

Well, it's Eastwood, what ...

PS: I think very frankly that the character of the hunter in Jurassic Park II Spielberg, who is desperate to kill the largest predator in the world (T-REX), and finally renounce it, is precisely modeled on that film Eastwood ... But of course, like everyone else, I could be wrong!
