The release of the hammer on the rifle when the family arrives is such a subtle detail but adds an incredible amount of weight to how tense this scene is. Superb film.
I'm in awe of this scene, the absolute unmistakable threats of extreme violence, and no one's voice raises, no one's heartbeat jumps up at all. Just 2 men ready to both kill and die.
You'll never be done with this, no matter what. It'll haunt you for the rest of your days...but you won't be alone...It'll haunt me too...perfect comeback to the threat. Terrific writing.
I always thought it was such a nice touch that after Chris Pine tells his ex about the hogs, he turns to Jeff Bridges and explains what he’s talking about. That’s a really polite courtesy to extend to a man you were potentially just about to kill
No, he's not. He's always the same. This is a good and simple script. A great acting partner. Easy lines. Rich scenery. Any single actor of the higher echelon would've outperformed him. I kinda didn't believe him here. He was too relaxed with an armed man that killed his brother at his house near his kids.
Bridges is a legend but I tell ya Pine is great in every role I’ve seen him in, just goes about his business working on his craft, much like Bridges in his younger years
It's such a testament to how drastically the writers, directors, and financiers of a film dictate the performance of the actor. It can be a great, established actor that plays a terrible stupid role in a terrible movie....or taking actors thought previously not very good, and draw TREMENDOUS performances out of them. A super good example of this is the 2013 Scorsese movie, "Silence", wherein Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, who have both delivered pretty lackluster performances in other things?......absolutely KILL it -SO much deep, believable emotions, captured particularly well with great cinematography! Y'all definitely need to check it out, it's a masterpiece. And, again, it is a tremendous example of how the director and other people in charge of the film can, in fact, make or break the acting, pretty much regardless of the actors.
God - what a great movie with great scenes.....the two of them deadlocked in a stare and thinking about pulling on one another without it being said. Great movie
This scene is on par with the end scene from Unforgiven. Absolutely masterful! Great actors with a well written script and story, this is what you get.
Man just you hang on every single word exchanged between these two. An absolute master class in acting and writing. It’s nothing new this kind of story is as old as westerns themselves but it’s just done so perfectly you know exactly what each character is feeling and you can feel the tension rising until then the family gets home. However just like the characters feel this isn’t over the audience feels that to and then they talk again. There the real intentions come out he’s haunted by it and bridges tells him it’s never guna go away and you can feel that fire that he knows he will probably die trying to avenge his partner but he doesn’t care.
Hollywood usually produces an unwatchable steady stream of comic book diarrhea but every once in a while there’s “No county for old men” or this little gem.
I watched this movie a number of years ago after renting it, had never heard of it but when I saw Jeff BRIDGES was in it I knew it would be a good movie and it is. I don't think I have seen him any bad movies, favourite is "The Big Lebowski" then all the others "The Last Picture Show", "Bad Company", "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" etc he's a good actor.
Such a great scene. Very cowboy. Very good. Can not say enough good things about it. Clutch song "A quick death in Texas" would have complimented this film.
What makes this scene great is when Bridges realizes that Pine is willing to go to jail or die for his kids if it means saving them from a fate similar to his own- since he doesn’t own or live on the property. If he had shot Bridges right there - he’d be charged with straight up murder since there is no “trespassing”. I think this is what really made Bridges understand Pine’s character’s morals and motives.
What makes you think that? Pine's character is the property owners' father, and close family member. He's well within his rights to shoot some crazy, armed old man (his story) who refuses to leave his loved ones' property. The movie's set in Texas, not California. You're allowed to defend anyone anywhere from serious threats, not just yourself on your own property. If that's even allowed in California.
Pine is a very talented actor. Always hits it off the ballpark. But it is this scene, with him leaning against his porch that made me realize he’s just not a great actor but one heck of a movie star…
I grew up in the area of West Texas where part of this was filmed. Young County... The crime has definitely got worse than what I remember growing up. Gotta keep everything locked down now, not like the good ole days. Lots of meth and meth heads, even murders now..I could almost see this movie being reality...The oilfields always had plenty of crooks. When there is that much money to be had, it can attract some of the worst people.
Something that’s always bothered me is that it’s not clear where Bridges character carried his gun. Assuming it’s where I, and everyone I know that carries, carries our guns which is on our waistband, it would be tucked behind his shirt. Regardless if it’s at the 4 o’clock or appendix, that pistol tucked behind a shirt drawn from a seated position is a death sentence in a duel against a man standing with a cocked lever rifle in his hands. I always thought if this was real, Marcus would at least shift so he could get to his gun quicker. Watching this clip for the 1000th time, I’m thinking it’s an ankle holster which would explain why he’s seated that way and the tapping of his right hand after the challenge. Maybe that’s obvious to most but I appreciate the movie leaving that to interpretation. That adds another level of gravity to the scene. The way way he sat down, tossed his hat on his boot, and accepted a Shiner like it was a casual day at the park but also positioning his hand near his ankle knowing it was a 50/50 chance he was going to get in Wild West duel that’ll end in killing or being killed and as far as Marcus is concerned, that’s fine too. It departs from the two pistols at dawn western movie trope where the characters walk in the street and suspense is built with slow motion shots and music so that the audience knows the characters are getting mentally ready for the showdown. When you think about it, for hardened people, having a beer and then killing each other just for an ounce of closure is more believable. I just found another reason to love this movie.
Seems like Sheridan does his best with things that have an ending, versus an ongoing series. Yellowstone was fine for like the first 2, maybe 3 seasons, before it went stale and became just another soap opera. Characters stopped evolving, and some even went backwards in development or were forgotten completely. It went from "everyone has their own demons" to "Jaime is cause of all our problems".
What is funny. This was actually filmed in New Mexico,but the setting is in very close proximity to the Four Sixes Ranch that he bought and filmed 1883 on.
@@tech-bore8839 Personally, I don't think there is even one scene in Yellowstone that matches this scene here. And I'm not even sure this is the best scene in the movie.
Two things come to mind: the words of the song ‘hallelujah’: all I’ve ever learned from love, is how to shoot somebody who out drew ya’. And: Peace can be the absence of war. But that just step one, we can have more. It’s about what we’re willing to commit to and how uncomfortable we are willing to get before things actually get better.
@@davidc.9933 it's never been about what you owe, it's about what you have or don't have, and who helped you get it, and who took it away. Debt is just another way of saying unfinished business.
Countless numbers of people have crawled through it, clambered out of it. Many are perilously close to the precipice. Personally won and lost numerous times. It's not how far you fall But how voracious you are to climb out.
You know... I've never seen this movie. This clip appeared randomly in my feed and I must say, the quality of this acting is so good that I can piece together the entire plot of the movie from this one scene. The writing perfectly encapsulates the entire plot of the movie in a way that makes me feel every bit of emotion as someone who watched this whole movie. The quality of this movie must be amazing and I'm going to watch it anyway, spoilers be damned.
masterclass in writing and acting from line 1.---Bridges thinks he understood the motivations of the brother, which makes it all the more tragic...[ps--he had that cocked the entire time]
@@Gumshoe88 I think he did admire him for what he did and hated him at the same time for taking his friends life. Those that love our kids, I can confidentially say, there ain't anything we wouldn't do for them dependent on the scenario. In this scenario, the banks knew what was found on his land and wanted it for themselves. As an ethical person and if I were his banker, I would of cut a deal with him to get caught up on his payments, pay some admin fees, and a handshake to use them for his banking.
It's old school it's called the gentleman's code. If you truly believe in yourself and believe that you're a man then you don't have to pose no trickery you don't have to shoot a man in the back you don't have to do no nonsense you stare down a man you face him like a man but unfortunately these days that doesn't exist anymore because men don't know how to be men
“You’ll never be done with it no matter what. It’s gonna haunt you, son for the rest of your days. But you won’t be alone. It’s gonna haunt me, too” Some pretty brilliant writing going on here. Hamilton knows that Toby’s heists had some good intentions behind them (only taking the bank’s money, not spending the money on luxury, and doing it seemingly for his family), but none of that matters anymore because the plan which he set in motion ended with the loss of innocent life. Any sense of morality which Toby initially possessed is down the drain now that he is responsible for a handful of deaths. But the brunt of the guilt isn’t laid entirely on Toby’s end as the ex-sheriff essentially dragged his partner out to chase these guys which ended in his death as well. Hamilton is the only one who knows that Toby was involved, but he doesn’t have the proof to show for it. This standoff is between two men, riddled with guilt, who are the remnants of a phenomenon which has ended in the minds of everybody else. Two men who have finished their respective fights only left with a personal vendetta against each other. A lesser film would’ve ended with a violent standoff where it’s made obvious that one has killed the other, but this one concludes with a string of dialogue that puts our own values in check. Who do we care for more? The newbie criminal who only did what he did to drag his family out of the depths of poverty or the retired lawman whose dedication for justice will lead him to skirt outside of the law and kill if that need be.
@@Cabalero24 that's not a great idea as you don't know what kind of evidence trail they bought. E.g. to PD... I'm going to the ranch to talk to the dead convicts brother.
fencing in texas with legal labor is around $10/ft. this looks to be at least a 10 acre property so youre getting around to around $80-100k without electrical work.
Great use of costume design and hair and makeup in this scene. It’s easy to miss on first viewing, but you’ll notice both characters are aesthetically the same. Same mustache, same hair, same white cowboy hat, same blue jeans, same tucked in black western shirt, but Chris Pine’s character’s wardrobe is splattered with paint and grime. He’s dirty, the same, but just a little more soiled. It’s two men that probably started from very similar places, and could possibly be great friends in another life. However, circumstances have made them enemies.
Brilliant film... the disease he talks about though, I think would be he dying in a duel with Jeff bridges character and the boys wanting revenge, or him killing Jeff bridges and ending up in prison and the kids would still want revenge for a shorter end of the stick of living life without a father figure..
I think the unsaid part that should have been said here is the 4 people who died had kids too. He didnt just cure the disease in his family. He transferred it to 4 more. He multiplied it and selfishly doesnt care. The detective should have pointed that out. The least he could do is somehow support those 4 families with money that he has plenty of now. The various violent events in the movie and this ending to me show that Pine's character wasnt just about someone who is selfless. In fact he is selfish, violent, and vengful. He beats the teens in the challenger at the gas station because to him they represent rich kids he wants vengence on. There is a reason his ex-wife doesnt want him back and its heavily implied that it's because in the past he beat her or even the kids. He isnt nessisarily doing what he is doing because he loves his family. He is doing it because he hates the cycle of poor parents making poor kids.
тебе раньше не говорили что у тебя мусор в голове? между законом и справедливостью нет тождества. рейнджер не становится прав автоматически потому что он рейнджер, им руководит не справедливость. многие копы пришли в профессию просто потому что копам разрешено легально убивать людей, подумай над этим. рейнждер защищает законы, законы защищают банки, банки грабят людей.
Well, 3 really, he included his brother in the body count. I'm curious though, where did you get that he beat his wife or the kids? I never got any of that, and just saw them as having a breakup with a lot of feelings, but putting the kids first and staying cordial with each other. Maybe I missed something with the wife, but him abusing his kids runs completely counter to his character. As far as the kids in the challenger, he doesn't beat them "because they represent the rich" or whatever.. the guy threatened to kill his brother. His character would do anything for his family, the fact they had a nice car is just incidental. If anything, it showed the dude was just a wannabe tough guy who has money and isn't about that life. I kinda disagree with a lot of your interpretation, but that's kinda what makes movies great, especially good ones like this. We can have two totally different interpretations, and unless the writer has specified about that particular thing, neither of us are wrong for how we perceived it.
