Movie Quotes: He lied to me. Now I can't think of one reason big enough for him to lie about that's small enough not to matter.
Then one day I hear "Reach for it, mister." I spun around, and there I was standing face to face with a six year old kid. Well, I just laid down my guns and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass. So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside

A rather dark road
Bogart and Bacall in their first film since they made their marriage public--it was a secret during The Big Sleep. Their on screen chemistry works very well in this film and Bogart's character is much more human. The combination of location shoots and first person camera perspective until Bogart's character, Parry, gets cosmetic plastic surgery presents an intriguing look for the film. Functionally, it makes it much easier to empathize immediately with the position of the escaped convict. It's not just Parry who is being threatened, but people are looking into the camera, at the audience and threatening the viewer. Leonard Maltin--in the making of featurette--puts it best, this is a good film, not a great one. That said, if you're …

Forrest Gump Review comment
Indeed. Gump is the ideal citizen -- which is to say, an infantile citizen. He's too stupid to take offence at his racist heritage (named after KKK founder) -- and wouldn't thing be easier, the movie suggests, if we were too?
