Steve McQueen의 The Getaway (1972)

저도 오래 전부터 명성을 들었는데요 이 분 영화는 거의 본 적이 없습니다 ;;;

Cross of Iron 도 유명하다고 하네요. 사실 제가 오늘 이 감독 영화 처음 보는 거 같습니다

The Getaway 볼 만 하네요. 마지막에 유혈극도 뛰어나다고 하구요

철십자훈장은 당연히 좋죠.

제가 음주 중에 쓰는거라 정신이 좀 없습니다만 그냥 이분 작품은 시간있으실때 보시면 합니다. 와일드번치는 정말 악 vs 악의 제대로 된 대결이라 처음 봤을때, 30년도 전에 본 작품으로 보면서, 뭐 이런 감독이 있나 또 이런 영화가 있나 했습니다,가르시아나 와일드번치 나 빌리더 키드도 그렇고 좋은 작품 많습니다

알렉 볼드윈 리메이크도 그렇고, 원작 스티브 맥퀸 영화도 스티브 맥퀸이 Ali MacGraw와 정사를 벌인 끝에 자기 마누라를 삼았더군요.

IMDB 평을 보니, 영화 자체는 졸작이지만 영화 이면에 비하인드 스토리가 더 재미 있다는 평도 있습니다

Don't waste your time and money!

A Sam Peckinpah movie based on one Jim Thompson's best books starring Steve McQueen would seem like a surefire winner, a classic. Unfortunately the result was an abomination.

The film was hijacked by McQueen who controlled the final cut and watered down a screenplay already watered down from the book. The film was disavowed by both Thompson and Peckinpah and various other involved in its making. The director upon seeing the final cut peed on the screen and shouted, "This is not my film!" Thompson could have (and did) complained, "This is not my story!"

One of the great noir classics with a highly original and ironic ending was transformed into an all too typical Hollywood product with an all too typical ending. A book who's tone was dark and dismal was transformed into a cutesy love story/chase film. The end of the movie had nothing to do with the end in the book which is largely the point of the whole story (I'd like to go on

here but can't without violating the no spoiler rule)

Steve McQueen who mucked things up off camera even disappoints on camera. He puts on a weak performance as does Ali MacGraw (perhaps they were distracted by there spudding love affair)

Other than that Sally Struthers (who I usually don't like) put on an excellent performance the best thing I can say about this flick is that it was not as bad as the remake!

Don't waste your time and money on this, read the book. If your really in the mood for a movie see something by Quentin Tarantino or the Coen Brothers or something else by Peckinpah (especially The Wild Bunch) or (if you want to see a movie adaptation of a Thompson book) The Grifters.

The only good thing about The Getaway is what happened offscreen

Sam Peckinpah was a cranky old drunk who directed two - and only two - films worth watching. This was not one of them. The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs were structured studies in the aesthetics of violence. The Getaway was a boring heist movie that had been done by others a hundred times before and better.

Ali MacGraw protected her reputation as easily the most wooden actress in the history of Hollywood. She did not disappoint in The Getaway.

And Steve McQueen thought the cool image he had cultivated in The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and Bullitt would carry him through clunkers like The Getaway with lines like, "Punch it, Baby!" He was sorely mistaken.

The only good thing about The Getaway was when Steve McQueen stole Ali MacGraw away from her husband, producer Robert Evans. It was a heist much more entertaining than the one in the movie.

제가 영어를 잘못해서 해석은 어렵습니다만 두커플이 그렇게 결혼한게 맞습니다. 다만 알렉볼드윈은 그 이전부터 커플이었을겁니다.

 

The GetAway 자체는 평범한 영화이네요. 다른 영화들을 찾아 봐야 겠습니다

편안한 밤 시간 되시기 바랍니다
