CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) and Duane (Jeff Bridges) decide to take a road trip down to Mexico.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Produced by Hollywood iconoclast BBS Productions, film critic-turned-director Peter Bogdanovich's 1971 film pays homage to Hollywood's classical age as it chronicles generational rites of passage in Anarene, a fictional one-horse Texas town. In 1951, high school seniors Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) and Duane (Jeff Bridges) play football, go to the movies at the Royal Theater, hang out at the pool hall owned by local elder statesman Sam the Lion (Ben Johnson), and lust after rich tease Jacy Farrow (Cybill Shepherd in her film debut). As the year passes, Sonny learns about the pitfalls and compromises of adulthood through an affair with his coach's wife Ruth (Cloris Leachman) and a thwarted elopement with Jacy after she dumps Duane. Following two tragic deaths, and with Duane gone to Korea and Jacy packed off to college in Dallas, Sonny is left behind in Anarene, wise enough to absorb the life lessons of Sam the Lion and Jacy's mother Lois (Ellen Burstyn). He is determined to honor Sam's legacy as the town's conscience, despite a telling sign of incipient communal disintegration: the closing of the Royal Theater after a final showing of Howard Hawks's Red River. Paying tribute to classical Hollywood directors like Hawks and John Ford, Bogdanovich used old-time cinematographer Robert Surtees and shot The Last Picture Show in crisp black-and-white, with a restrained style devoid of the kind of "new wave" techniques (jump cuts, zooms, and jittery hand-held camerawork) used by such contemporaries as Arthur Penn, Robert Altman, Mike Nichols, and Martin Scorsese. As in such Ford films as The Grapes of Wrath (1940), Bogdanovich relies on careful visual composition in deep focus to help communicate the regret over the passing of an era. Hailed as one of the best films by a young director since Citizen Kane (1941), The Last Picture Show premiered at the New York Film Festival and went on to become a hit. It was also nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay for Larry McMurtry's and Bogdanovich's adaptation of McMurtry's novel. John Ford stalwart Johnson won Supporting Actor and Leachman won Supporting Actress, beating out their cohorts Bridges and Burstyn. For an audience steeped in movie history and caught up in the chaotic 1971 present, The Last Picture Show presented a nostalgic look backward that was not so much an escape from the present as a coming to terms with what the present had lost. Its 1990 sequel Texasville, in which Bridges and Shepherd played later incarnations of their original characters, was not as successful.

1.48...that silence of Sam's spoke volumes...for me, he was thinking of his lost youth and life opportunities that passed by......a common thought to all of us eventually.

A great scene from a great movie- Ben Johnson finally got a role that permitted his splendid talent to shine forth. And both Timothy Bottoms and Jeff Bridges were superb- I don't think that Timothy Bottoms ever approached this level of excellence again. Everyone was perfect - a masterpiece, from Peter Bogdanovich.

The stare was essentially Sam communicating something to the effect of "I'm scared that you are leaving me alone and there is not a damn thing I can do about it". Such a painful scene because we all get there eventually.

Great, realistic characters in this movie. Genevieve reminds me of my grandma who worked as a waitress and car hop in West Texas and Oklahoma in the '50s - '70s, Sam reminds me of my grandpa's on both sides. Both were chain smoking, hard drinking, hard working cowboys that didn't have much but they would give you their last dollar if you needed it.

Aside from maybe "The Elephant Man", another film related to this one only by its exquisite use of black and white film, I have never seen a movie so absolutely atmospheric. The desolation inside and outside the buildings, and the desolation inside each character. It permeates. The incandescent lighting of the diner, the cracked windows everywhere, you can almost feel the dust. And every character, no matter how they try to leave, they never can. They always end up back. Sonny running off with Jacy only to have her taken back by her father, Duane going to Korea and instead of taking his earnings and potentially resettling anywhere else, he is pulled back. Mrs. Popper will never leave, never stop feeling anguish. Along with all the other characters. It is incredibly moving and realistic.

I always envisioned having a sagely, ol' cowboy like Sam the Lion as a neighbor whom I could go to for advice when things weren't working out in the home-- or go fishing by the creek with ... A great man who can elucidate all the troubles I may have been going through in my adolescence. A man who would march up right to school and confront the bully to his face who was giving me a hard time and watch him scurry away nervously, as I watched assuredly confident that he damn sure wouldn't pick on me again.And as I got older maybe he would teach me how to drive in his 'ol unpretentious dustbin of a pick-up, then when I turned 21 he'd take me to his pool hall and buy me my first drink as we'd play a game of pool ...

Best thing about this movie is that all the characters are instantly recognizable. There is a wild but good natured duo like Sunny and Duane in every high school. As well as a beautiful but vain temptress cheerleader type Jaycee. In every small town there's an old rich benevolent eccentric like Sam the Lion who is lonely and would pay you for just a minute of your company. Wish they would make more movies like this.

I've never been able to decide if Ben Johnson was a fine actor or just a western cowboy who knew how to be authentic before the cameras. I've seen lot of Ben Johnson movies from his early days in John Ford westerns and he always looked and sounded like he stepped out of an old tintype.

@lestermount3287 3 жыл бұрын

He was a cowboy the supplied horses to the movies, when they put him in front of the camera he had the ability to be himself, which is why he looked natural.
