Gary Cooper endures. His quiet demeanor keeps him especially relevant in today's society where whoever screams & hollers loudest & behaves the most outlandishly gets the most attention---& is celebrated for it. The less Coop did on onscreen, the less he "acted", the more revealing & compelling his scenes became. The less Coop said, the more he said. His silences conveyed more than a thousand scripted paragraphs. Although the actor's private life was less than wholly commendable, that shouldn't concern us here. Whenever he appeared on those silver screens of yore, in almost any role, the man was magic. And even today, brought into our homes in much smaller fashion, the magic remains. Gary Cooper endures. We need him more than ever.
G'day! Gary Cooper is the best. This is just a fantastic western with Cooper being drawn into his old life as a killer by is mentor Lee Cobb. Movies like Unforgiven/Clint Eastwood have their roots in tales such as this. A dark, and beautifully shot western, and Gary Cooper is just so good at psychological action. Also be sure and find the old Cooper gem, "the Hanging Tree". Cheers! 😊✌🏼❤️
JPilot2 As I was reading this, I was going to mention my other favorite Coop, “The Hanging Tree” but you already did in your last sentence. I think Anthony Mann is the best director of the Western. But “The Hanging Tree” improves with each viewing. It may be my all-time favorite. Coop is just so damn good.
G'day, Mark! Yeah! Terrific western, and certainly one of Gary Cooper’s best ever. His characterization of the mysterious “Doc” Temple allows him to demonstrate the singular power of his presence on the screen. But relative newcomers Maria Schell, Karl Malden, Ben Piazza, and George C. Scott add broad strokes with their multi-dimensional performances that clearly showcases the cinematic opportunities, created by a very good western story in a unique setting that in itself separates "The Hanging Tree" from any comparison with the norm. And “oh, by the way!”... Marty Robbins rendition of the title song is another, extra base hit for this Delmer Dave’s classic. Thank you! Cheers! 😊✌🏼❤️
I cannot hear very well (I'm almost deaf). Could you please tell me what was the last exchange of words between Copper and London? I would be grateful. Edoarda Paolini
Big Country was made primarily in the foothills of California near Stockton. I know, I was a little child when Peck, Simmons, Heston, etc were in town. They even appeared at the San Joaquin County Fair Rodeo in Stockton that summer.
Pellicola davvero stupenda, sceneggiatura avvincente e pellicola realistica, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che quando il treno si ferma per la legna, dovrebbe anche imbarcare acqua, ma si ferma poco oltre la torre dell'acqua, fuori dalla portata del "braccio del rubinetto" della torre, quindi davvero stupenda e davvero stupenda per me come valutazione è 8,5.

저는 1971년 생 49세의 남성 입니다, 70년대 중반 ~ 80년대 초반, 저희 집은 가정 형편이 많이 어려워서 TV도 못놓고 지냈습니다. 집에 트랜지스터 라디오만 있었습니다, 당시 친척 분이 동네에 사셔서 놀러가서 흑백 TV로 서부의 사나이를 봤는데요, 이당시 밧줄을 올무 매듭 지어 던져서 상대 말의 목에 걸어 넘어뜨리는 장면이 참 재미 있었구요. 쌍안경으로 보는 장면도 많이 나왔습니다. 또, 등을 마주 대고 앞으로 가다가 뒤 돌아서서 허리춤에서 권총을 뽑아 쏘는데, 그 동작이 상대보다 늦으면 죽었죠. 초등 학교 다닐 때 제가 학교 갔다 집에 오는데, 동네 형이 라일론 빨랫줄을 올무 매듭으로 엮어 제게 던져서 목에 얽혀 잡아 당기는 바람에 목이 졸려서 숨이 콱 막혀서 혼났습니다. 안풀어 주고 계속 당기는 겁니다. 동네 아저씨가 보시고 그 형을 야단 치시고 저를 구해 주셨습니다. 당시 쌍 안경이 동네 문구점에서 많이 팔렸고, 동네 형 누나 친구 동생들이 대부분 다 쌍안경이 있어서 제가 갖고 싶어 하자 어머니 께서 나물 캐서 파셔서 사주셔서 누나들과 같이 사용 했습니다. 또, 동네 에서, 학교에서, 선배나 친구나 후배 들이 밀집 모자를 쓰고 장난감 권총을 허리 춤에 차고, 서로 등을 맞대고 앞으로 가다 뒤돌아 서서 쏘는 흉내도 많이 냈습니다,
His best endings were Win 73, Naked Spur (easily as fine as this one,) and this: as an ensemble all six of his best westerns, including The Furies, which also had a great ending, have to be better than anyones, indlucing Ford. Mann's legend will continue to grow with these, whereas I suspect, Ford's will slightly diminish. Ford was a genius in spurts but Mann while lacking that quality, on the whole somehow made the finer body of work. Strange.
