The Maltese Falcon - Corruption, Civil Society, and Political Theory in Film [Video Essay]
I decided to make a video analysis on John Huston's 1941 classic, The Maltese Falcon. The movie perfectly depicts fatalism in film noir and also provides many interesting interpretations of how this is expressed politically. I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks.

My first attempt at a classical piece (albeit on the acoustic guitar rather than a classical). I've been really inspired by etudes as of late; short instrumental pieces which really improve your playing because they often focus on a particular technique. Guitar: Faith Venus Natural

    A superb movie that to me is the greatest Western ever. Gary Cooper is brilliant as the sheriff, and the stark, high contrast B&W cinematography is stunning. The railway track shots are superb, and the whistle echoing around the deserted town ramps up the tension that builds throughout the movie.

    Did anyone see the AC unit n the window on the second story house? When the shootout started he ran around the back of the buildings and u look up and there it is big as u please. Window unit n the 1800’s . I’ve seen this movie many times and It took me several times to finally notice u r to busy watching him. But it’s there.

      I know my comment is pretty useless, but it's easier to figure it out yourself by following along to the song at a slower tempo. UA-cam lets you slow the video down to half speed with audio. I really hope my comment doesn't come off as condescending since I understand asking for help, but slowing things down and also using a metronome will do more for your playing than anyone else can teach you Good luck!

    Excellent commentary by Leonard Maltin. I happen to agree w/Kramer, producer, and Zinneman, director, that High Noon is not abt the Black-List period in Hollywood (very subjective perspective!). It is much more universal than that, being abt a man's moral conflict w/others and w/in himself...What will you do? Follow your Conscience or follow the pack? Put everything on the life -- your career, your marriage, even your life?...A pivotal, powerful story and film. (1 error in commentary: this was Coop's 2nd and last Oscar win).

  • @DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL
    @DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL 2 роки тому

    A Cold War western, with the McCarthy hearings as a backdrop. It's sparse, right down to the black and white format, and the music by Tex Ritter. Never saw a movie with Montanan Gary Cooper. Now, I know why people liked him. Due to the always horrible Hollywood, Southern accents, I couldn't finish watching "Tombstone", but I could finish this. You're in suspense, the whole movie. It deserved those 4 Oscars. All around good directing and acting. This movie was way ahead of its time.

    High Noon, has to be the best Western ever. No over the top action. Just a plain and simple dilemma, Should I stand my ground or leave? To leave would mean a life of looking over your shoulder. To remain could mean death. To stay and survive would mean a happy life, if your Bride remained with you. It has everything. Self doubt. Love. despair, loneliness. and fear. What more could you want in a movie?? No violent explosions or Massacres, just a building of tension. This is how movies should be made.

    A truly great film. AND, just as controversial. Are the people who repeatedly asked him to leave really expected to help him? For me, yes. But, the argument can be made that this is a private feud fought in the town, when Will realized that he would have to fight it in the middle of nowhere, so why not use the town for cover (emotional as well as tactical). But there is no argument as to the casting of Grace Kelley (how does anyone get born that good looking) and, of course, Gary Cooper..........can anyone think of anyone who could have played this better? And the music...............
