@deanduncan63Saw #WillPenny. This is such a beautiful film! It’s so good on the hard day-to-day, job-to-job of a cowboy’s life …
… It’s so good on the limitations & virtues of a cowboy’s character, which are partly a consequence of that life …
… It’s so good on how passivity, how lack of education & opportunity, can limit our prospects. It is so very good at showing …
… how such circumscribed prospects have little or nothing to do with the worth of souls, or a person’s potential for decency & goodness.
#WillPenny. Bad guys! Pleasance & Co. are, in their own sociopathic way, as formidable as Walter Brennan’s Clanton clan in My Darling Clementine.
#WillPenny. A process film, the methods of which are also applied to the playing out of a surprising, really exquisite romance …
… The resolution of that romance is made up of equal parts integrity & heartbreak. Relational ethics—very moving indeed.
#WillPenny. Charlton Heston!
