It’s reminiscent of the way Bette Midler’s already established cult fame was negotiated in Mark Rydell’s terrific The Rose (1979), which, though inspired by the life of Janis Joplin, used details from Midler’s early career to effectively queer that text.
In 1979's The Rose, Bette Midler is a Janis Joplin-like superstar, on the verge of flaming out, but only after her hangers-on milk her for everything she's got.
It tells a different story; a rigorous alternative to On Golden Pond (1981)…
…his complaint that the French “don’t even speak English” reminded me of a similar turn by Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond.
See him perform a sign-language translation of Bette Midler's "The Rose."
It's short for Hector, and the Faulkner part fits as well, particularly per William Faulkner's The Reivers.
Podemos después venir hasta On Golden Pond (EUA, 1981) en la que Mark Rydell basado en la obra de teatro de Ernest Thompson juega y manipula las reconciliaciones familiares a través de situaciones casi improbables: el optimismo hacia el futuro, la creencia en la reconciliación insospechada.
He’s our John Wayne, and if The Magnificent Seven isn’t quite The Searchers or True Grit , well, it’s at least The Cowboys or Chisum .
Altman is known for his eclectic casts, but this one might top the list: Bouton (a Major League Baseball pitcher), Nina van Pallandt (a baroness, a calypso singer, and Clifford Irving’s girlfriend at the time of his fake Howard Hughes biography), Mark Rydell (later the Oscar-nominated director of On Golden Pond ), Sterling Hayden (the ever-mercurial actor used by Kubrick in The Killing and Dr. Strangelove ), and an uncredited Arnold Schwarzenegger in only his second screen appearance.
There is real nostalgia in seeing a silver-haired Harrison Ford as the colonel in charge of training children to take his place (done better, this could have been his "The Cowboys").
As adapted by Jan Sardi and Jeremy Leven and directed by Nick Cassavetes, Rowlands's son, "The Notebook" is two movies, one dubiously hitched to the other, like "On Golden Pond" stuffed inside some young-adult romance.
Call it mature love, if that doesn't conjure images from On Golden Pond or Harold and Maude.
But rarer is the memorable movie that portrays a dad and his adult daughter: “ On Golden Pond ,” both versions of “Father of the Bride,” “ Coyote Ugly ,” maybe “ Chinatown ” and “ Taken ” if you stretch matters a bit.
Movies like Lord of the Flies (1963), Walkabout (1971), Bless the Beasts & Children (1971), The Bad News Bears (1976), The Cowboys (1972), The Squid and the Whale (2005), Kids (1995), and Pretty Baby (1978) all had a part in pushing the boundaries on how the portrayal of children is seen on film.
Under the Silver Lake (2018)
Directed by David Robert Mitchell
influenced by James Dean (2001)

Ahora, en El misterio de Silver Lake (Under the Silver Lake, 2018), el director se esfuerza demasiado por ser extraño y críptico; si bien es cierto que les da la bienvenida a las teorías de la interpretación y a la decodificación de los símbolos, Mitchell está muy poco involucrado en crear una narrativa sólida y cohesiva, y su guion termina enredándose en una serie de homenajes, incluyendo el acertijo que involucra a James Dean o los constantes guiños a Alfred Hitchcock y David Lynch.
It's barely been a month since I decreed that No Escape was the most intense motion picture I've seen in 2015, and yet here's Sicario storming through the gate and proving so potent that the Owen Wilson flick suddenly seems as incendiary as On Golden Pond by comparison.
Kill Bill is to Pulp Fiction as Pulp Fiction was to On Golden Pond.
The co-stars are a colorful and varied lot: veteran star Sterling Hayden, who replaced the late Dan Blocker in the part of a washed-up writer; Nina van Pallandt, the Danish-born singer who was involved in the Clifford Irving-Howard Hughes affair, here making a promising U.S. film debut; ex-Yankee pitcher Jim Bouton, now a TV sportscaster in New York; actor-director Mark Rydell, who recently directed John Wayne in "The Cowboys"; ex-"Laugh-In" regular Hebry Gibson; David Arkin, Warren Berlinger and, in a cameo, David Carradine.
