I am so chuffed Martin Scorsese enjoys this movie. One of my earliest favourites. The scene on the beach is captivating, shattered by the low flying DH Mosquito. Such a marvellous movie, still with a positive message for all time.
We miss you sage grass and the bever too, wernt Dusty... Love Edna thanks a lot Terry key... Don't forget Monty that's were you pick up the core charge... The grape vine dereck, and angel can't seem to give a ride to the wallet that went to the store, what a fucking prick god is these day, money where his mouth is he be a walking or a working wife, by the cemetery by love Carle Kelly Taylor surff the way the water should go
The part that kills me is the look that he flashes the rest of the cantina after he shoots the first guy. Looks like he's asking them if they were impressed. Perfectly written and acted.
This short film is a masterpiece. The most brilliant thing about this is that the Man, Liam Neeson's character, got scammed. There is a trick to the chicken's "calculations," and the conman didn't teach it to the Man. The conman can just buy another regular old chicken and keep at it without worrying about competition. He makes a living off of the gig itself, but the real money is in selling the regular chickens off to uncreative showmen. The irony is that he had an armless, legless master of Shakespearian theatre. Back then, average people could hardly read. They didn't know what the armless, legless man was talking about. They weren't Shakespeare's target audience. Get this guy in front of an educated crowd, a RICH crowd, and the Man could have tapped into a demographic who wouldn't even blink at a "mathemachicken." The Man traded the meal ticket of a lifetime for, ultimately, one last meal.
