Funny Indian Wedding Invites

Paul Newman is gone. The Dark Knight



Paul Newman was part of that generation born in the shadow of Lee Strasberg at the Actor's Studio with Marlon Brando and James Dean that revolutionized film interpretation. Less crazy than his two colleagues, Paul will especially excel at the beginning, in roles of "rebels," it is Somebody Up There Likes of Robert Wise in 1956 film that made known to the general public, or Gaucher , of Arthur Penn , two years later. The young dog crazy son's physical ideal will then be devoted in the same year, his duet with Elizabeth Taylor in A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , moving from a promising young star confirmed. Personally, I know little about this first Newman that marked my elders, becaufe certainly in the '70s, a period of awakening my film, no film of the actor went on television. The
Newman struck me, rather the Indian hieratic Hombre , the magnificent western de Martin Ritt in 1966, Cool Hand Luke (1967), mischievous and stubborn prisoner who dreamed of freedom is Butch Cassidy doing a bike ride with Katharine Ross or Henry Gondorff that scam with his buddy Redford, Robert Shaw, a mafia boss, poker player, not to mention the beautiful Trap of John Huston with the enigmatic Dominique Sanda and James Mason worrying misty moors in the Highlands of up this famous Towering Inferno or Newman architect crossed McQueen, Firefighter. In short, it is this second Newman that made sense to me, from 1966 to 1975 decade ended with one of my favorite movies with the actor, The cobweb , his friend and comrade, Stuart Rosenberg with Joanne Woodward and the young Melanie Griffith nymphomaniac alluring "old" in which Newman played the role of a Private désanchanté facing a "tycoon "in the bayous of musty smelling Louisiana.
Since then, I have too followed the career of the actor, even if the Color of Money , where he oversaw some Tom Cruise directed by Scorsese , nod to The Hustler , Of Robert Rossen he had done 26 years earlier, earned him an Oscar Best Actor in 1987. The Newman I liked was that of quarantine, in the prime of life, tanned leather and the verb désanchanté between a leading man that I have never known and an old actor who seemed more concerned with his dressing and his racing car through cinema. I will
image John Russell, Métis of misanthropic Hombre , désanchanté the world of men, Christ-like figure who will sacrifice himself for a better world.
