ROME SINCE ROMULUS.
>> FOR THE ROLE OF MARK ANTHONY,

THEY HIRED RICHARD BURTON.
BURTON WAS A GREAT SHAKESPEAREAN

ACTOR.
IN THE VERY FIRST SCENE THEY

SHOT WAS ON CLEOPATRA’S BARGE,
AND THERE’S A VERY PASSIONATE

KISS THAT GOES ON AND ON.
AND THE DIRECTOR, JOE

MANKIEWICZ, SAID, CUT, CUT, CUT.
AND IT WAS CLEAR SOMETHING HAD

BEEN IGNITED, AND THEN SUDDENLY
YOU HAD THIS SCANDAL.

>> ALL THE PAPARAZZI IN THE
WORLD CONVERGED, AND EVERYONE

WAS ALL ABOUT BURTON/TAYLOR.
WHAT’S HAPPENING?

THEY WERE BOTH MARRIED TO OTHER
PEOPLE.

IN SOME WAYS, THE DRAMA OUTSIDE
THE MOVIE GOT MORE INVOLVING

THAN THE DRAMA INSIDE THE MOVIE.
>> THIS LIFE, HOW IT HURTS, HOW

LOVE CAN STAB THE HEART.
>> CLEOPATRA IN MANY WAYS

WRECKED MY UNCLE’S CAREER.
IT SORT OF ‐‐ HE HATED IT.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.
A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL EVENING.

>> YOU MUST KNOW SOMETHING I
DON’T.

>> WELL, I MUST TELL YOU, I DO.
>> CLEOPATRA ACTUALLY MADE GOOD

MONEY.
IT JUST DIDN’T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY

TO RECOUP THE ENORMOUS EXPENSE
OF THE PRODUCTION.

>> FOX FAMOUSLY HAD TO SELL OFF
THE BACK PART OF THEIR LOT.

SO IT BECAME THE DEATH KNELL OF
THE STUDIO SYSTEM.

>> TO REACH A POINT WHERE A
MOVIE LIKE KLEE PAT RA COULD

REPRESENT AN EXPENDITURE OF
NEARLY ONE‐HALF THE NET CAPITAL

OF THE COMPANY MAKING IT AND
DESTROY THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT

COMPANY IN THE BARG
>>> IF SOMEONE SAID TO YOU, IT’S

1964.
THE LAPD REPORTS THAT 15,000

SCREAMING TEENAGERS, MOST OF
THEM FEMALE, ARE IN FRONT OF THE

EGYPTIAN THEATER, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS HAPPENING?

MOST PEOPLE SAY, THE BEATLES ARE
ARRIVING.

ACTUALLY, IT’S THE OPENING NIGHT
IN L. A. OF "MY FAIR LADY."

>> THE PREMIERE OF MY FAIR LADY.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST OPENING

NIGHTS IN RECENT YEARS WITH A
ROSTER OF STARS THAT WILL MAKE

HARRISON.

HER CURB STONE ENGLISH, THE
ENGLISH THAT WILL KEEP HER IN

>> PAUL NEW MAN CAME OUT OF THE
1950s AS ONE OF THE TOP LEADING

MEN IN HOLLYWOOD.
THERE WAS AN OSCAR NOMINATION

FOR CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF" FROM
1958.

HE ALSO LOOKED LIKE PAUL NEW
MAN.

COULD HE HAVE BEEN IN ANY MOVIE
HE WANTED TO BE IN.

>> I’M THE BEST YOU EVER SEEN.
I’M THE BEST THERE IS.

>> HE HAD EVERYTHING.
HE COMES FROM THE ACTOR’S

STUDIO.
A MAJOR STAR ON BROADWAY.

CHARISMA ON SCREEN.
HE WAS THE HUSTLER.

YOU CAN’T GET BETTER THAN THAT.
>> THAT MAN SHOOT A GREAT GAME

OF POOL.
>> SO DO YOU, FAST EDDIE.

>> THAT WIDE SCREEN BLACK AND
WHITE WITH HIM AND JACKIE

GLEASON AND GEORGE C. SCOTT WAS
SOMETHING SO UNIQUE AT THAT

TIME.
A CHARACTER PIECE THAT WAY.

>> JOE.
I JUST HOPE FOR YOUR SAKING THAT

THIS HOUSE IS ON FIRE.
>> I’M SORRY TO ROUST YOU OUT

BUT WE’VE GOT TROUBLE AT THE
RANCH.

>> YOU GOT TROUBLE RIGHT HERE,
BUB.

>> IN HUD, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
KIND OF A SHALLOW DAMAGED

CHARACTER AND HE WAS PLAYING
THAT TO THE HILT AND

PARTICULARLY DEALING WITH THE
DARKSIDE OF THINGS.

>> YOU DON’T LOOK OUT FOR
YOURSELF, THE ONLY HELPING HAND

YOU’LL EVER GET IS WHEN THEY
LOWER THE BOX.

>> "HUD" IS A KIND OF COMMENTARY
ON WHERE YOU END UP IF YOU BUY

INTO THE MYTH OF THE WESTERN
HERO.

YOU END UP WITH A GUY WHO DRINKS
TOO MUCH, HAS NO RESPECT FOR

WOMEN, S WHO’S MASCULINE IN THE
DIVORCE SENSE OF THE TERM YET

HUD IS ATTRACTIVE TO US BECAUSE
HE’S PLAYED BID PAUL NEW MAN.

>> IN COOL HAND LUKE, NEW MAN
CLEARLY IS A FIGURE OF THE

COUNTER CULTURE MOVEMENT.
REBELLING AGAINST AUTHORITY.

>> LAY DOWN, LUKE.
HE’S JUST GOING TO KNOCK YOU

DOWN AGAIN, BUDDY.
>> CIRCUMSTANCE HASN’T MADE LUKE

A CRIMINAL.
>> STAY DOWN.

>> IT’S ALMOST HIS CHOICE.
>> YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO KILL

ME.
>> OR HIS REFUSAL TO DO WHAT’S

EXPECTED OF HIM.
>> DON’T YOU EVER TALK THAT WAY

TO ME.
>> THE WARDEN IN THE FILM IS

PLAYED BY STROTHER MARTIN.
IT’S ONE OF THE GREAT TEN‐LINE

PERFORMANCES IN MOVIES.
>> WHAT WE’VE GOT HERE FAILURE

TO COMMUNICATE.
>> AND IT REALLY FEELS LIKE A

’60s LINE WHERE YOU KNOW, JUST
IN ONE MOMENT, KIDS AND ADULTS

COULD SEE THE GENERATION GAP AND
SEE EACH OTHER ON THE OTHER

SIDE.
>> SORRY, LUKE.

JUST DOING MY JOB.
YOU GOT TO APPRECIATE THAT.

>> AH.
CALLING IT YOUR JOB DON’T MAKE

IT RIGHT, BOSS.
>> I STILL THINK HE’S THE LAST

OF THE OLD MOVIE STARS WHEN HE
STARTS THE ’60s, HE’S UP AGAINST

THE LIKES OF CARRY GRANT AND
JOHN WAYNE AND MARLON BRANDO AND

BY THE END OF THE ’60s, HE’S UP
AGAINST THE LIKES OF STEVE

McQUEEN AND SEAN CONNERY.
AND FOR McQUEEN, I THINK NEW MAN

WAS SORT OF A TARGET.
>> THE GREAT ESCAPE IS AS GOOD A

PRIMPER OF WAR MOVIE AS YOUR
YOU’RE GOING TO GET.

A GREAT ENSEMBLE CAST BUT
ANCHORED BY STEVE McQUEEN.

>> BY MORNING I’M GOING TO BE SO
FAR AWAY YOU COULDN’T HEAR IT IF

THEY WERE SHOOTING AT ME WITH
HOWITZERS.

>> HE’S NOT A BIG GUY LIKE JOHN
WAYNE BUT HE HAD A QUALITY OF

BELIEVABILITY.
YOU BELIEVED THAT HE WAS TOUGH,

WIRY, RESOURCEFUL.
>> WASN’T IT AWHILE AGO THE

STUDIOS PROHIBITED YOU DOING ANY
RACING WHILE YOU WERE ACTUALLY

IN PRODUCTION?
>> SHH.

>> I SEE ALL KINDS OF EXECUTIVE
LOOKING PEOPLE SANDING AROUND

WITH THEIR FINGERS CROSSED.
>> THEY’RE BEING NICE TO ME ON

THIS FILM.
>> STEVE McQUEEN IS THE MAN.

>> TO KNOW THAT HE COULD DRIVE
THOSE CARS, CORIDE THOSE

MOTORCYCLES MADE HIM THE MODERN
KIND OF MOVIE STAR HERO.

>> HE DIDN’T CALL HIMSELF THE
KING OF COOL BUT IT’S CLEAR WHY

HE GOT THE NICKNAME.
WHEN HE DRESSES UP IN THE THOMAS

CROWN AFFAIR IT WAS COOL.
THE WAY HE PLAYS CARDS IN THE

CINCINNATI KID HE WAS COOL.
WHEN HE DRESSES DOWN IN "BULLET"

HE WAS COOL.
HE COULDN’T HELP IT.

>> BULLET HAS THE PERFECT
McQUEEN MOMENT, SOMEBODY’S

FOLLOWING HIM.
HE FIGURES IT OUT.

HE DOESN’T TRY TO ESCAPE WHICH
IS WHAT ANYBODY WOULD DO.

INSTEAD HE TURNS THE CAR AROUND
AND HE STARTS CHASING THEM.

THAT’S STEVE McQUEEN.
>> THERE ARE CAR CHASES BEFORE

IN MOVIES AND NEVER A CAR CHASE
LIKE "BULLET."

YOU KNOW AT THAT POINT WHERE
PHIL HICKMAN THE OTHER DRIVER

CLIPS IN HIS SEAT BELT, THE
AUDIENCE IS LIKE OKAY, HERE WE

GO.
IT’S LIKE A MASTERPIECE OF

ACTION CINEMA.
I CAN NEVER GO TO SAN FRANCISCO

AND SEE THOSE HILLS WITHOUT
THINKING OF THAT MUSTANG TAKING

THOSE TURNS.
>> IT’S THE MOST FAMOUS CAR

CHASE IN ALL OF MOVIES.
BUT THAT SECONDARY TO ME TO THE

FEELING OF I JUST WANT TO LOOK
AT THIS STORY IN THIS CITY WITH

THIS GUY LEADING ME THROUGH.
THE WHOLE MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT

McQUEEN AND HIS PERSONA.
>> I ADMIRE YOUR CURRENTLY, MR.

>> FRENCH.
SYLVIA TRENCH.

I ADMIRE YOUR LUCK.
MR.?

>> BOND, JAMES BOND.
>> IF YOU GREW UP IN THE ’60s

IT’S HARD FOR YOU NOT TO
IDENTIFY WITH BOND.

HE WAS LIKE I’M KICKING ASS, I’M
TAKING NAMES, I’M MAKING EQUIPS,

I GOT YOUR GIRL.
>> DID YOU SAY YOU HAD TO LEAVE?

>> IMMEDIATELY.
>> SO WHEN THE FIRST JAMES BOND

FILM WAS MADE, A LOT OF RISKS
WERE TAKEN.

AND SEAN CONNERY WAS ONE OF
THOSE.

>> JAMES, WHERE ON EARTH HAVE
YOU BEEN?

I’VE BEEN SEARCHING LONDON FOR
YOU.

>> IAN FLEMMING AND OTHERS WERE
NOT SUPER CONFIDENT ABOUT

CONNERY IN THAT ROLE.
BUT THE AUDIENCE RECEPTION

REALLY PROVED THAT CONNERY COULD
PULL OFF BOND.

>> ONE THING I READ ABOUT YOU
SAID YOU WEREN’T LIVING UP TO

YOUR IMAGE.
>> THEY PAY THE FINES IF I LIVE

UP TO THE IMAGE.
>> SEAN CONNERY WAS SO HANDSOME,

THERE’S A KIND OF NAUGHTY FUN
JUST TO HIS SMILE AND YOU FELT

AS THOUGH YOU DIDN’T NEED TO
KNOW HIM.

YOU WEREN’T ASKING FOR AN
INTERNAL PERFORMANCE FROM HIM.

HE WAS SOMEBODY YOU COULD
PROJECT A FANTASY ON.

>> MY FRIENDS CALL ME TANYA.
>> MINE CALL ME JAMES BOND.

>> JAMES BOND IS CREATED DURING
THE COLD WAR BY IAN FLEMING AND

IN COLD WAR TERMS, JAMES BOND IS
EVERYTHING THAT THE RUSSIANS ARE

NOT.
AND THAT BECOMES A KIND OF

SUBLIMINAL APPEAL.
>> TAKE IT EASY, 007.

FIRE ESCAPE ONLY FOR ONE.
>> IN FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE,

THERE’S A FIGHT INSIDE A TRAIN
CAR THAT CONNERY HAS WITH ROBERT

SHAW.
AND IT IS IN A TINY CONFINED

SPACE AND IT IS BRUTAL.
AND CONNERY COULD ALWAYS GET

THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE I’M
NOT GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS

ROOM ALIVE.
AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT IS

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO AN
ACTION STAR.

>> GOLD FINGERING IS WHEN IT
BECOMES A SUPER SPY FILM.

IT HAS THE FANTASTIC CAL
ELEMENTS THAT KIND OF BOND

REALLY STARTS TO LEAN INTO.
WE’RE IN FORT KNOX.

THERE ARE WOMEN PILOTS THAT ARE
VERY SEXY AND YOU HAVE A HENCH

MAN WHO HAS A HAT THAT CAN BE
CUT OFF YOUR HEAD IF THROWN AT

YOU LIKE A FRISBEE.
EVERYTHING ABOUT "GOLD FINGER"

INFORMS THE REST OF THE
FRANCHISE.

>> DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TALK?
>> NO, MR. BOND.

I EXPECT YOU TO DIE.
>> BOND NEVER DIES.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS FROM
DECADE TO DECADE, BOND MANAGES

TO REINVENT HIMSELF TO ACHIEVE
NEW FORMS OF RELEVANCE.

"THE MISFITS."
>> HOW DO YOU COULD.

>> TO SEE GABLE TRY TO HOLD HIS
OWN WITH A LOT OF LEGENDARY

METHOD ACTORS, ELI WALL LACK AND
CLIFT AND MARILYN MONROE, A

DIFFERENT GABLE SHOWS UP TO MAKE
THAT MOVIE AND KIND OF LOVED

THAT.
>> YOU JUST SAID HE WAS ABOUT TO

GIVE IT TO HER.
>> I SELL TO DEALERS ONLY.

THAT’S ALL THEY’RE LOOKING TO
BUY IS A HORSE.

>> I WAS JUST WONDERING WHO YOU
THINK YOU’VE BEEN TALKING TO

SINCE WE MET.
>> THERE’S SOMETHING ROUGH ABOUT

THAT MOVIE.
VISCERAL MOMENTS, SUCH THAT YOU

ALMOST FEEL IT’S DOCUMENTARY
THAT YOU’RE OUT IN THE DESERT

WITH THE MUSTANGS.
>> FINISH.

IT’S LIKE ROPING A DREAM NOW.
I GOT TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BE

ALIVE, THAT’S ALL.
>> THAT WAS GABLE’S LAST FILM.

THAT’S GOT A VERY KIND OF
ELIJIAC FEELING TO IT.

THE END TO THE TRADITIONAL MOVIE
WEST IS COMING AND THIS FILM IS

KIND OF A MONUMENT TO THAT.
>> HOW MANY OF YOU DID THEY

HIRE?
>> ENOUGH.

>> THE WESTERN BECOMES DARK BY
THE END OF CLASSICAL HOLLYWOOD.

YOU SEE SUCH A CHANGE IN THE
UNITED STATES CULTURE AND I

THINK THE WESTERN SHOWS THAT.
>> THESE FILMS TAKE A MORE

PSYCHOLOGICAL LOOK AT THE
WESTERN MOLD.

>> WHAT DID YOU SAY HIS NAME
WAS?

THE MAN WITH THE SILVER‐KNOBBED
WHIP.

>> I SAID LIBERTY VALANCE.
BUT IF THAT’S WHAT YOU GOT TO

DO, YOU BETTER START PACKING A
HANDGUN.

>> A GUN?
I DON’T WANT A GUN.

I DON’T WANT TO KILL HIM.
I WANT TO PUT HIM IN JAIL.

>> OH.
>> THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY

VALANCE IS JOHN FORD’S LAST
GREAT WESTERN.

YET, IT’S SO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
PRECEDED.

>> PILGRIM, YOU HAVE TO COCK IT
FIRST.

>> I FORGOT.
>> I SEE IT ALMOST AS A BOOK END

TO STAGECOACH BECAUSE STAGECOACH
INTRODUCES THE JOHN WAYNE

CHARACTER AS A YOUNG VIBRANT
OUTLAW.

AND AT MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY
VALANCE COMES BACK TO AN OLDER

PERHAPS WISER JOHN WAYNE
CHARACTER WHO STILL HAS A CODE.

BUT IS MUCH MORE CYNICAL ABOUT
THE WORLD.

>> YOU PUT THAT PAPER OUT THE
STREETS OF SHIN BONE ARE GOING

TO BE RUNNING WITH BLOOD.
>> THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY

VALANCE SOMEONE DESCRIBED IT
RECENTLY AS THE GREATEST

AMERICAN POLITICAL FILM.
IT’S ABOUT HOW REREWRITE HISTORY

TO FIT OUR MYTHIC NEEDS.
>> JOHN WAYNE ACTUALLY KILLS CAN

LIBERTY VALANCE.
JIMMY STEWART GETS CREDIT AND

BECOMES FALSE AND SOON AFTER
THAT, WAYNE IS FORGOTTEN.

>> WHO WAS TOM DONOVAN?
>> EVENTUALLY STEWART TELLS IT

THE TRUTH AND THE NEWSPAPER MAN
RIPS UP THE STORY AND SAYS ONE

OF THE MOST FAMOUS LINES IN
AMERICAN FILM.

>> THIS IS THE WEST, SIR.
WHEN THE LEGEND BECOMES FACT,

PRINT THE LEGEND.
>> HE’S RIGHT.

>> WESTERNS ARE CUT AND DRIED.
GOOD GUY WINS AT THE END.

IT’S ALWAYS FOR THE BENEFIT.
THERE ARE NO REGRETS AND THIS IS

JOHN FORD, THE MAN WHO CREATED
AN THE MYTH OF THE MOVIE WESTERN

AS MUCH AS ANYONE.
QUESTIONING IT.

SAYING WELL MAYBE, THE MARCH OF
CIVILIZATION, MAYBE IT WASN’T

ALL GOOD.
MAYBE QUALITIES OF HUMANITY WERE

THE LOST, MAYBE KINDS OF PEOPLE
WERE LOST THEY WERE BETTER

HAVING AROUND TODAY.
>> NOTHING’S TOO GOOD FOR THE

MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE.
>> THIS MOVIE IS LIKE LIBERTY

VALANCE.
GOOD GUY IS NOT NECESSARILY THE

GOOD GUY ANYMORE.
THIS BECOMES HEIGHTENED WITH THE

GENRE THROUGHOUT THE ’60s.
>> LEONE KIND OF TURNS THE

WESTERN ON HIS EAR AND BECAUSE
HE WAS ITALIAN THEY BECAME KNOWN

AS SPAGHETTI WESTERNS EVEN
THOUGH MOST OF THEM WERE SHOT IN

IN SPAIN.
>> HIS BIG MISTAKE I THINK WAS

GETTING BORN.
>> SERGIO LYON TOOK THE SYNTAX

OF THE WESTERN GUN FIGHTS, THE
EMPTY STREETS.

>> GET THREE COFFINS READY AND
RAISED IT UP NOT SURFACE AND

DROPPED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> THERE WAS NO CULTURE, THERE

WAS NO SOCIETY.
THERE WAS NO MORES.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS MINIMALIST.
>> MY MISTAKE.

>> AND CLINT EASTWOOD FIT
PERFECTLY INTO THAT.

HE WAS THE MAN WITH NO NAME.
>> ACCORDING TO THE POWERS

VESTED IN US.
>> THE WESTERN’S FOREVER CHANGED

WITH THE SOUND TRACKS.
HIS APPROACH TO USING MUSIC TO

KIND OF PUNCTUATE THE THEME AND
TONE OF THE FILM.

>> HE HAD DONE HIS SCORE BEFORE
THEY SHOT THE MOVIE AND SO IN

THE GRAVEYARD SEQUENCE AT THE
END OF "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND

THE UGLY" ON THE DAY THEY CAN
HEAR THE SCORE THAT WE AS AN

AUDIENCE ARE HEARING.
IF YOU DID THAT JUST SILENT, I

THINK ACTORS WOULD START TO
WONDER WHAT’S HAPPENING.

WHEN YOU PLAY THE MARCONI MUSIC,
NOW YOU’RE IN AN OPERA AND IT

CHANGES THEIR PERFORMANCES.
>> MARCONI’S MUSIC AND THE USE

OF CLOSE‐UPS COMBINED TO REALLY
PUNCTUATE EMOTION AND THINKING.

AND THE CLOSE‐UPS GET CLOSER AND
CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE ACTS’

FACES TILL YOU JUST SEE THEIR
EYES AND IT STARTS TO MOVE MORE

FRENETICALLY AS WHERE’S THE
GOLD, WHO IS GOING TO SHOOT

FIRST?
>> OKAY.

OPEN UP IN THERE.
>> BUTCH, YOU KNOW THAT IF IT

WERE MY MONEY, THERE IS NOBODY
THAT I WOULD RATHER HAVE STEAL

IT THAN YOU.
>> BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE

SUNDANCE KID IS A COUNTER
CULTURE WESTERN.

THERE’S NEVER A MOMENT WHEN
YOU’RE NOT ROOTING FOR THE BAD

GUYS IN THIS MOVIE.
>> IT HIT A NERVE I THINK,

UNEXPECTEDLY.
IT HIT SOME KIND OF NERVE THAT

HAD TO DO WITH OUTLAWS AND THE
OUTLAW SENSIBILITY.

>> THINK THERE’S ENOUGH DYNAMITE
THERE, BUTCH.

>> IT’S HARD TO FIND A FILM AS
FUN AND FUNNY AND WRY AND

CLEVER.
NEWMAN AND REDFORD WERE THE

PERFECT COUPLE.
>> I THINK WE LOST THEM.

DO YOU THINK WE LOST THEM?
>> NO.

>> NEITHER DO I.
>> PAUL AND I HAD TO CONNECT AS

CHARACTERS.
SO WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME

TOGETHER AND THE MORE TIME WE
SPENT TOGETHER, THE FONDER WE

BECAME OF EACH OTHER.
AND HE AND I BECAME REALLY GOOD

FRIENDS.
>> WE’RE DONE.

HE’S DEAD.
YOU’RE WELCOME TO STAY.

>> LISTEN, I DON’T MEAN TO BE A
SORE LOSER BUT IF I’M DEAD, KILL

HIM.
>> LOVE TO.

>> REDFORD’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE
FASTEST GUN IN ALL THE WEST AND

NEWMAN IS A VERY FUNNY SAR DONIC
LEADER OF THE GANG, BUTCH

CASSIDY.
>> NO, NOT YET.

NOT TILL ME AND HARLEY GET THE
RULES STRAIGHTENED OUT.

>> RULES?
IN A KNIFE FIGHT?

NO RULES.
>> IF THERE AIN’T GOING TO BE

ANY RULES, SOMEONE GET THE FIGHT
STARTED.

COUNT ONE TWO, THREE, GO.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE, GO.

>> IT’S A RELATIONSHIP MOVIE AND
BEST DEFINED IN THAT MOVIE WHERE

THEY’RE BEING CHASED.
THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO.

THEY’RE ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF
AND THERE’S A RAGING RIVER

BELOW.
IT’S SO CLEAR THAT THE ODDS OF

THEM SURVIVING ARE PRETTY MUCH
NONE.

>> I’LL JUMP FIRST.
>> NO.

>> YOU JUMP FIRST.
>> NO, I SAID.

>> WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
>> I CAN’T SWIM.

>> IT’S A GREAT DYNAMIC.
>> ARE YOU CRAZY?

THE FALL WILL PROBABLY KILL YOU.
>> THE MOVIE JUST WORKS.

>> AND WESTERNS WILL STAY AROUND
DESPITE LEAN TIMES BECAUSE

THEY’RE SO CENTRAL TO OUR IDEA
OF WHAT THE COUNTRY IS.

IN ONE WESTERN AFTER ANOTHER,
THESE HUMAN FIGURES ARE PLACED

ON THIS VAST CANVAS.
AND IN THAT GENRE, YOU CAN TELL

ANY KIND OF STORY YOU WANT.
IT IS A VESSEL INTO WHICH YOU

CAN PUT ANYTHING.

>> AND HARPER LEE’S BOOK "TO
KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" CAME AT A

TIME WHEN PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY
NEEDED TO READ THAT OKAY.

>> ATTICUS, YOU HEARD ABOUT TOM
ROBINSON.

>> YES, SIR.
>> GRAND JURY WILL GET AROUND TO

CHARGING HIM TOMORROW.
>> "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" IS

REALLY A FASCINATING STORY.
YOU SEE AMERICA SORT OF

GRAPPLING WITH ITSELF HOW TO
APPROACH ISSUES OF THE CIVIL

RIGHTS STRUGGLE.
>> I GET ASIDE FROM THAT DOOR,

MR. FINCH.
>> ATTICUS FINCH IS A LAWYER WHO

GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN OF HIS
COMMUNITY TO SAY THAT A BLACK

GUY IS BEING WRONGLY HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING THAT

HE DID NOT DO.
>> TOM, DID YOU RAPE HER?

>> I DID NOT, SIR.
>> THE FILM MAKES ATTICUS FINCH

INTO A HERO.
IT’S TOLD THROUGH THE EYES OF

HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER.
>> YOU NEVER REALLY UNDERSTAND A

PERSON UNTIL YOU CONSIDER THINGS
FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW.

>> TO KILL A"TO KILL A MOCKINGBI
TOUCHING FATHER/DAUGHTER STORY

AND WE DON’T HAVE MANY OF THOSE.
>> THERE’S BEEN SOME HARD TALK

AROUND TOWN TO THE EFFECT THAT I
SHOULDN’T DO MUCH ABOUT

DEFENDING THIS MAN.
>> HER FATHER IS SHOWING SCOUT

WHAT A GOOD GUY LOOKS LIKE.
>> IF YOU SHOULDN’T BE DEFENDING

HIM, THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING IT.
>> GREGORY PECK’S ATTICUS FINCH

REALLY DOES HELP AMERICA SORT OF
COME INTO THE DISCOURSE OF THE

CIVIL RIGHTS STRUGGLE.
>> IN OUR COURTS, ALL MEN ARE

CREATED EQUAL.
>> THE REALITY IS, ATTICUS FINCH

WAS A FANTASY.
PARTICULARLY AT THAT TIME WHEN

HISTORY OFFERS US A NUMBER OF
CONSISTENTLY OPPOSITE EXAMPLES.

>> I DIDN’T MAKE ANY RULES.
>> BUT YOU SURELY.

>> EVERYBODY LIVES BY THEM.
EVERYBODY’S STUCK WITH WHAT HE

IS.
EVEN THEM SWAMP ANIMALS.

>> EVEN THAT WEASEL.
>> YOU CALLING ME A WIESEL?

>> NO, I’M CALLING YOU A WHITE
MAN.

>> SIDNEY POITIER WOULD OFTEN BE
CAST IN BLATANT SORT OF MESSAGE

MOVIES OF THAT ERA.
THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS LIKE A

RAISINEN IN THE SUN.
>> I’M THINKING I’M 35 YEARS

OLD, I’M MARRIED 11 YEARS AND I
GOT A BOYS WHO GOT TO SLEEP IN

THE LICHING ROOM.
>> RAISIN IN THE SUN WAS ABOUT

INTEGRATION.
THEY BUY A HOUSE IN A NICE WHITE

AREA BU BUT THE PEOPLE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD DON’T WANT THEM

THERE.
>> OUR ASSOCIATION IS PREPARED

TO BUY THE HOUSE FROM YOU AT A
FINANCIAL GAIN TO YOUR FAMILY.

>> LORD HAVE MERCY.
>> POITIER GETS TO SHOW MORE

RANGE IN "RAISIN IN THE SUN."
>> YOU MIND HOW I FEEL.

YOU GET OUT OF HERE.
>> HE’S ANGRY AT THE SYSTEM, AT

WHITE SUPREMACY, ANGRY AT THE
LACK OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR

BLACK AMERICANS.
>> ALL I WANT TO IS TO BE ABLE

TO STAND IN FRONT OF MY BOY LIKE
MY FATHER NEVER WAS ABLE TO DO

TO ME AND TELL HIM THAT HE WILL
BE SOMEBODY IN THIS WORLD

BESIDES A SERVANT AND A
CHAUFFEUR.

HUH?
>> THESE WERE NOT STEREOTYPICAL

BLACK CHARACTERS, MAGICAL NEGROS
OR GOOD NEGRO WHO WERE THERE TO

DEMONSTRATE THE ULTIMATE GOOD OF
MAINSTREAM WHITE SOCIETY.

HE’S PLAYING A WELL ROUNDED
THREE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER AND

I THINK HE JUST BUILDS ON IT
FROM THERE.

>> I’M A BAPTIST.
I DON’T GO TO MASS.

>> WE GO.
>> HOW DID YOU GET THERE BEFORE

I CAME ALONG.
>> WE WALK TREY SUNDAY NOW WE

GO, TOO.
>> WITH LILIES IN THE FIELD, HE

BECOMES THE SECOND
AFRICAN‐AMERICAN TO WIN AN

ACADEMY AWARD.
FIRST TO WIN IN THE BEST ACTOR

CATEGORY.
>> SIDNEY POITIER.

>> MR. POITIER IS THE FIRST
NEGRO TO WIN SUCH A HIGH AWARD

AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS RECEIVED
WARMLY BY THE AUDIENCE.

>> IT IS A LONG JOURNEY TO THIS
MOMENT.

>> SIDNEY POITIER HAS THIS RISE
IN THE LATE ’60s WHERE HE’S NOT

JUST A BLACK ACTOR.
HE WAS THE BIGGEST ACTOR IN

HOLLYWOOD.
>> MOM, THIS IS JOHN.
