Ok, I know this movie is supposed to be really good. I mean, it has Bogart and won a bunch of awards, but I wasn't feelin' it.
The story follows a couple prospectors who are looking for gold in Mexico. Bogart's character is pretty much like all other Bogart characters, except maybe a little bit more of a bad guy. He does a good job, but I think I might just be a little too used to seeing the badass-with-a-heart-of-gold type character (again, like Kenneth) to enjoy this Bogart performance.
Also, while I enjoyed the old prospector, Howard (Walter Huston), in a comic way, I can't understand how he got an Oscar for best supporting actor. Maybe it was for this:
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this movie. I just don't understand the hype. You know how everyone says that Casablanca is one of the greatest movies? Well it is; it's fantastic. People say the same thing about this one too and I just don't see it.
Maybe it's all because of this scene:
I don't know. I gave it a 3/5 on Netflix. It's worth watching, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
