Sharp Eye of Marlon Brando In this film, the viewer has the opportunity to admire the beauty of the rocky mountains, spotted horse croup, protalins and snow in coniferous gorges and the eyes of Marlon Brando. The moderate course of the film leads us through the life story of a man who learned kindness in childhood, and therefore is unable to forget this kindness. He sincerely believes in God and repents in the church for his sins – murders committed in war and pleasures with women who wanted to. He returned home with the money and the best stallion to start a quiet life and build a ranch for the sake of his bloodless brother's family. But a random woman takes him on a final adventure by slandering her gangster husband.
We see how Anjanette Comer drinks tequila and eats it with lime, without changing in his face. Her face had forgotten how to display bitterness because there was too much bitterness in her life. We see Marlon Brando ... no, this is Mateo. Mateo wants to build a ranch. To do this, Mateo must return his spotted horse, which the gang stole. Gringo is what the Mexicans call the white man. Gringo is what the bandits call the hero. But he's not Gringo. He's Mateo. This is what you need to think about after watching the movie.
It's not a western where there's a lot of shooting and chase. This is a story told in landscapes, soothing with its unshakable and quiet beauty. These landscapes are reflected in the eyes of Marlon Brando - which, as we can clearly see, are turquoise.
Many complained that Brando had never played Hamlet. In this movie, you can see him with a skull in his hand. The slow narrative is full of symbols that require reflection by the viewer. This is a parable, a true parable. Rare film. And few people can be proud of this in their filmography. But Marlon Brando can.
Impressive acting of John Saxon, who is able to cause genuine disgust. The impeccable reincarnation of Marlon Brando - he lives, lives not even in the frame, but in the middle of nature - drunk and dragged on a lasso in the river and in the sand, hanged on the gate, watching the sting of a scorpion, lying in the grave with a girl, waiting for the glare of a gun in a coniferous forest and shooting to kill.
What is this parable about? About the name of Man, about the house of Man and about what Man lacks and for what it is necessary to go on a final adventure.
The soul lies in the direction of Sidney J. Fury and the camera work of Russell Matti in other works and in the case of Appaloosa there are also no complaints, so ...
