Press the heyday from the 1950s to the 1980s waited was a last juyeonjak of the American film industry was the big stars actor Paul Newman, batdeon last chulyeonjak, and guarantee at the time the best to the actress Jessica Tandy left a big trail of the US film industry Bruce Willis ( Philip Seymour, who was paid $14 million a week to appear in a film with Paul Newman, who was paid 15 million USD per film at the time), thought that it was an honor just to appear in a film with Paul Newman. Hoffman's very simple minor role, and Melanie Griffith, famous for her lead role in Working Girl, starred in a middle-aged but unchanging charm.
A film with such gorgeous actors.. Besides, it is a film based on a novel by Richard Russo, a writer who writes very beautifully, so it is a work of considerable perfection and depth (he is also the author of my favorite book, "Empire Falls") It's also a book made into a movie - the movie is also very well made). Director Robert Benton also has considerable insight, and his major works include Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Places in the Heart (1984), which are my favorite films, as well as Bonnie and Clyde (1967) Superman (1978) and The Ice Harvest (2005). It is a masterpiece made with such solid elements.
Still, Nobody's Fool is a very naive film. It is a masterpiece depicting the story of ordinary people living in a small town in the northern part of New York State where snow falls day by day, and the snow piles up and does not melt well from the perspective of a family (father Sully: Paul Newman). It is filled with small, beautiful stories like brooks between Sully and the other characters, centered around a big storyline drawn through Sully's daily life. Although there are not many lines, it is a film that gives off a very unique charm that makes you immerse yourself like hypnosis from the first part of the movie, and when you listen to the dialogue between the characters, you feel like you have already known about this town and its components for a long time. It is. It's very American and on the contrary, it's very humble, but at the same time dazzlingly colorful and beautiful.
It is not easy to find famous lines. Too many. It is one of the unique charms of this film. Still, if I look for it, I remember this line. Here's a conversation between Sully (Paul Newman), who has never been a good father his whole life, with his son, Peter:
Peter: So if you are not a father to me, how come you are a grandfather to Will?
Sully: 'cause you gotta start someplace.
