MAGIC IN MOVIESPosted by Loyce in entertainment, culture |

Just enjoyed very much a movie titled The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck and while this tale is one of violence, I enjoyed the story which is depicted by the great Peck and guess what? This wonderful film is in black and white, has minimum killing, little graphic depiction of the violence, no profanity and yet the message is clear: Violence begets violence and man has a choice. The film is beautifully acted by Peck and supporting actors Mitchell Mallard and Helen Westcott add to the authentic feel of the production directed by Henry King. Actors are unique in that they leave a dimensional body of work behind that can become classics; and King and his actors have left us viewers with renewed faith in the movie industry, although this film was made in 1950. See it.

I like Westerns and war films because men made decisions, dressed in a defined manner and stood on their own feet, all in contrast to the world of today; so other favorites include: The Gallant Hours with Jimmy Cagney; In Harm's Way with John Wayne; Gunfight at the OK Corral. Did I say that I enjoy looking at attractive people who speak in a forthright manner? I dislike fluff, superficial and disauthentic, dishonest elements; so I search constantly for that which is closest to authentic. The challenge is mine. Onward

Just saw a chuck of The Yearling with Gregory Peck and what a fine man he was--great actor--; and although it pained me to see the end of the little yearling, I understand that sometimes it is impossible to combine the wild with the domesticated and that is why I'm always fretting about Paco my miniature parrot because I know he should have more time free from his cage and even though we have two cats, I protect Paco from their interference even though I believe the cats have come to accept Paco as part of the fam I can never be certain that their like for Paco may be too much. Paco's wings are clipped so he cannot fly; but he seems to be a healthy boy and his cage is in the kitchen next to the bay window and I have my computer next to his cage so there is much interreaction because I believe in being a good pet parent and why not because I believe we are entrusted with the care of our pets and they will thrive when we care for them accordingly. Paco is a joy.

Did not know that Paco's wings were clipped and yes he is a joy. Hope the cats have come to accept him as part of the family. It sure does seem that way.
