The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 64 points KBM 1 Inviso 5 Johnbobb 7 Pokewars 7 Stifled 9 Karo 14 CoolCly 21 Very poor plot synopsis: I like gold and you like gold and we like gold and you like murder andwait what? Why it was included: I could simply say Humphrey Bogart is in a western and call it a day. Dude is a legend. In fact, because he was a fan of the source material, Bogart went out of his way to pester the director to get a part. He ended up landing the lead role and fucking nailed it. But interestingly enough, he was NOT nominated by the scumlord Academy for best actor. The film did, however, take home awards for best director, best supporting actor (Walter Huston as Howard), and best adapted screenplay. It was nominated for best picture as well, but lost toHamlet? According to Rotten Tomatoes, Sierra Madre has a 100% and Hamlet has a 95%. Got em! What Stifled thinks: Due to my love for Humphrey Bogart, I went into this one with super high expectations. Sometimes that isnt always a good idea, but in this case? It exceeded expectations. The feeling of tension and paranoia is presented so incredibly well that it even made me feel uneasy at times. The acting is superb, of course (motherfucking Bogart). Its refreshing sometimes to have a protagonist that isnt squeaky clean. Bogarts character is all over that spectrum in Sierra Madre. Early on, despite his actions being firmly in a grey area, his intentions were usually in the interest of fairness. Then as time progresses, he slowly descends into madness, eventually turning on his once trusted friends. Its hard to think of many other characters in media treated with such detailed development. Its an incredible movie, and I plan on watching it again very soon. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:957624237] in Board 8 Ra... [t:79594401]...</cite> <quote>#6.
