Most of these documentaries done by HOLLYWOOD on HOLLYWOOD tend to take that turn down **** Lane at some point- I know I've only now (barely) recovered from the reeeeeeeeeeally pretentious Brando doc that TCM aired a coupla' years ago. Yeah, Hollywood looks out for its own, especially the icons. I suppose wth Clint Eastwood himself being in the documentary, they couldn't be too objectively critical.

Hehe, I better hope they're not monitering this thread, right?

Does anyone recognise the tune the natives are singing? I just realised it's the one from "Gone With The Wind", when someone in the movie is singing "All the darkies in Atlanta" Fantastic movie!

Oh my word! It's a great movie, but I'm aghast at what he lead to happen, even though I already knew this couldn't end well. I never dreamed this would be the bad ending, I thought it would it be something more allegorical I should say, more completely allegorical. It was allegorical, alright, but the terrible event was completely a real event. I love movies that keep me on my toes, that I can't guess ahead!

Aw you had to go there and I know you could tell that I'm a flamin' righty, but I don't care, I'm live-and-let-live about those matters ]

Meryl Streep sounded like she wasn't unreservedly uncritical, just that she was holding back or had been edited a bit.

I'm watching this film "White Hunter, Black Heart" for the first time, and so far I like it. The main character (John Huston?) reminds me of my husband-does what's right in his own eyes, but sounds like the most un-PC person in the world to hear him. Edit-Never mind, my husband's neither nearly that preachy and self-righteous nor that touchy. I don't like that part of this character. Edit-Geeze how I insulted my poor husband, this guy's nuts.
