Immense absolutely immense!


As is the Geoff Dywer review! His best-observed passages are on Eastwood.

Eastwood has 'the unhurried grace of a Roger Federer in a German uniform
Squinting is pretty much the limit of Eastwood’s facial range as an actor;

Later in the film when the gang is pretending to be Nazis, he admires how the actor is “not just squinting, but squinting in German”. But he admits that it is his physicality that is so magnetic: he has “the unhurried grace of Roger Federer in a German uniform”, or, later, “the grace of Darcey Bussell in winter combats”.

He also has, Dyer argues, a special relationship to time, which is helpful when a Nazi throws a grenade at him: he squints thoughtfully at the grenade for what seems like a minute before tossing it back to the Nazi, where it obediently explodes.

Eastwood it is, too, who supplies what is effectively the film’s catchphrase: whenever a new crowd of Nazis is just around the corner needing to be shot, he calmly tells Burton: “We’ve got company.” Not for long they don’t.

Sound of Music with the runner up going to the Shawshank Redemption. We went on the Sound Of music tour in Saltzsburg and beyond the entertaining. Mirrebella gardens was awsome.

In the immortal words of mother superior, we have to live the life we were born to live.

Great film, it's in my top 20.

Also enjoyed reading about Spielberg's experiences making the film in a biography I recently read.
