Movie Reviews of Hud
Movie Review: A Great family Drama!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a motion picture that is never written or produced any more. A family drama that is more about relationships between father & son, grandfather & grandson, uncle & nephew, rather thanabout who is sleeping with whom with four letter words making up the dialogue. It's about people finding out what they mean to "significant others" and what those "others" mean to them. And, who they are to themselves. What they want from life, what their values are, or in Hud's case aren't. Douglas his father has the value - That money isn't everything. How "dated" is that value, 40 years later? ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN QUITE SOMETIME., of course GREAT ACTING BY NEWMAN, NEAL, DOUGLAS AND DE WILDE adds to the package.
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is Paul Newman's best work. Hud is also one of the best flics I've ever watched. A true masterpiece, timeless, a classic, comparable to Streetcar Named Desire, INMHO. Brandon De Wilde was also great, I've always been a big fan of his. The little kid in "Shane", "Member of the Wedding", grown to a young man.
Patricia Neal was really good, and of course Melvyn Douglas. All were really good in this movie, even the supporting cast.
Newman was at the top of his game. This is one of the few "absolutely don't miss" movies.
I just noticed the price of this DVD. I paid $10 (Amazon) in 2007. If you want it new, better get it fast!
Movie Review: Great Character Study
Summary: 5 Stars
Like him or not you got him. Paul Newman is HUD. He sees things through a world made moral to his own liking. In the modern Western Paul Newman is the anti-hero who we sort of admire yet ignores his motivations at the same time. HUD shows his dead brother's son played by Brandon De Wilde the ropes of life. In today's world of avarice and deceit I just wonder what moral ground HUD would stand on and be perceived. Brandon De Wilde gives a wonderful performance ranging from a naïve idol worshiping nephew to that of a seasoned student to the lessons he learned. The choice of his future path is perhaps uncertain but yet perhaps not.Movie Review: A Paul Newman classic
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most realistic preformances of Paul Newman's legendary career. As Hud, Newman is sincere, sensual, and raw. He lives on a cattle ranch with his father, teenage nephew, and fairly attractive middle-aged housekeeper. Hud is about to face his most difficult challenge yet. His father has to make a life-altering decision about the future of the ranch, which sets the stage for one of the most powerful preformances of Paul Newman's career. Whether he's at odds with his father, tends to his nephew, or gradually becomes infatuated with the housekeeper, Hud is passionate, and unrelenting.
Movie Review: Hud
Summary: 5 Stars
Strikingly photographed by James Wong Howe, Martin Ritt's uncompromising, anti-hero Western broke new ground for a genre which, in the early '60s, was still stuck in tired old conventions. The movie endures due to Newman's brilliant lead performance as Hud, an arrested adolescent in a man's body. All the acting is excellent--especially Oscar winners Patricia Neal as the sad, sensuous Alma, and Douglas as the leathery, principled father. Finally, Newman's ability to inject pathos into such a cynical, unsympathetic character speaks volumes about his own talent.
