I watched it again after Ray Liotta died.
And it was that kind of reminder of, again, an actor who typecast lots of gangster movies, some of which he was obviously phenomenal in.
But then you watch this movie and you're like, oh yeah, I buy him in this role.
I buy him in this kind of father figure thing and this kind of something greater, something more cosmic than whatever.
And I remember actually like Kevin Costner, I read an interview with him a long time ago and he kind of was saying that he was speaking to UK magazine and he was saying that, well, I don't know how it is for you guys over here, but over in America, few of the dreams is my generations.
It's a wonderful life.
Now, Kevin Costner is quick to pat himself on the back, but he's probably right.
That film is very touching for an awful lot of families.
Yes, correct.
The end scene when they, the father and son reunited to have a catch is just like...
it's killer yeah it's killer myself and my wife actually had a big disagreement watching this movie not too long ago because it was on I think it was on RT too and I was like oh well sit down and watch it it's unbelievable you really like it and she was just like every second on her phone I was like you're not giving it the respect it deserves we're turning it off you don't deserve to watch Field of Dreams Ken Loach looking for Eric as in Cantona working class man Manchester United obsessed
This is one of yours, Will, isn't it?
You're a big... Well, it was one of the ones I threw in on the long list.
Great use of Eric Cantona.
It's actually a very touching story of a postman, also called Eric, who's suffering from depression, and to kind of build up his self-esteem, he's got such hallucinating visions of Eric Cantona, who kind of like...
his life coach and pulls him out of a funk very good movie and like I think two years before this Ken Loach did The Wind That Shakes The Barley so I'm just impressed that someone who did that was able to pivot to doing this in such a short place of time and nail both of them The Karate Kid not for me me neither not for me I think it's one of those ones where like it's drilled into you at a young age that this is a sacred text and I could never I just never got it never got it
same I don't really like it I'm not mad on it it's fine obviously the iconic moment you know that's cool but the rest of it fairly forgettable it's more of a blood sport guy when I was younger you know is that right the boxer Daniel Day-Lewis for Daniel Day-Lewis alone
Yeah, intense film, obviously, as you would expect in every sense.
Million Dollar Baby.
I saw that in the cinema when it came out, and I thought it was this brilliant piece of masterpiece work, and then I went back and I watched it about a year later, and I really felt like issue-tainment, kind of the way that Crash did when that came along.
