Anyone have a link to the fortune teller scene? Where she tells the guy 'Bad news, you're going to be president of the United States,' and he gets upset and says 'But I don't want to be president,' and she says 'You've got no choice.' Then he starts dressing like Abraham Lincoln. Sweet genius that Steinbeck.
1:31 Raised in the South 1.5 hours from Savannah, I completely understand this scene. *A man gave his word & another man kept the agreement and, never miss a chance to do a kindness to others.*
That was UGA V (tombstone in Sanford Stadium Reads "Nation's Best College Mascot" from Sports Illustrated. He was actually playing his father UGA IV "The Dog of the Decade" who was the mascot when the events of the movie took place.
Exactly like in the book!The narrator sounding like Steinbeck would talk.Even his lines right out of the book to the actual roundup! And one of the best scenes e er filmed!
regardless .... Kevin spacy did a terrible southern accent but is truly an exquisite actor... unfortunately we will not be able to separate the art from the artist in this regard.
I'm a fourth generation savannahian, I thought he did well. This was a time when ppl had that Antebellum aristocratic southern accent. My grandfather was a judge in Chatham county. Savannah. He talked that way, now alot of ppl just have a draw not a country draw. Difficult to articulate unless you are in it. I'm 39 ppl younger than me probably dont remember it , it's pretty much gone. Now it's more a Virginia tide water accent kinda like the sea islands of the Carolinas.
I own a bunch of movies he was in: Garden of Good and Evil, American Beauty, Se7en, The Ref, Usual Suspects... At times I feel like I wanna rewatch them, but I just can't. It'd just remind me of what a degenerate, piece of shit he actually was.
As a Savannahian I thought he did well , that Antebellum aristocratic southern accent is gone now. Pretty much now ppl just have a southern draw that resembles the sea islands of the carolinas. Interesting how it has changed.
"there is nothing you can talk to me about that I don't already know" Cut to nothing its just the second half of this scene where bond says a thing and goldfinger goes "oh thats a thing you can talk to me about that I might not already know"
