This was the movie that made me a fan of Dustin Hoffman, having been unimpressed with his previous work in '67 and '69, which brought him Oscar nominations. I agree with "Unknown, April 16, 2018" that this film holds Hoffman's <br />best performance, but it is not a movie that I hold in high regard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532919555669007677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-24887645799409104792018-04-16T10:31:15.763-07:002018-04-16T10:31:15.763-07:00It is my favorite Peckinpah film.
The church so...It is my favorite Peckinpah film. <br />The church social, in context of the dramatic struggles we've witnessed in the first hour or so of this remarkable film, is film perfection and it's here we finally understand this is Amy's movie, and her story, and we men in the audience are finally confronted with our own angers and frustrations with the opposite sex - even those of us who claim we have none. A light is shined on how difficult it can be to be a woman who wants to love a man but who cant find one worthy of her. Susan George hopelessly outclassed by Hoffman?. Well i couldn't disagree more. Is Hoffman's David indeed the real villain of the piece as Peckinpah claims. Perhaps - But i still relate to him more than I am comfortable with. And indeed, I think this is Hoffman's best and most unsung performance. ("I will not allow violence against this house.") To me - Essential. (OUta sight.) F.
