Well, books are one kind of reality. Screenplays, Hollywood manipulation, and
another film's validation are yet another.
"THE NEGOTIATOR"---Kevin Spacey & Samuel L. Jackson
I read a lot of books.
I watch a lot of old movies. AMC.
You got a satellite?
They show all those old westerns.
Westerns?
I like comedies, myself.
I did like Shane though.
Shane, now that's a good one.
I would have picked one where
the hero lives at the end.
Like a Rio Bravo...
...or a Red River.
I think that's the wrong movie.
Shane lives. At the end of it,
he's riding off and that kid...
- Brandon...
- De Wilde.
Brandon de Wilde's calling his name:
"Shane, come back! Shane!"
I'm sorry to be the one to
tell you this but Shane died.
That's an assumption.
It's a common mistake.
In the final shot,
he slumps over his horse.
He doesn't look back because he can't.
Shane's dead.
He slumps because he's shot.
Don't mean he's dead.
You think Butch and Sundance live too?
You never see them dead either,
but they're surrounded.
Now you're a history buff?
I generally read
histories and biographies.
Don't believe everything you read.
