Movie Reviews of The Conversation
Movie Review: In the Pantheon of Greatness
Summary: 5 Stars
A bona fide film fanatic, in my nearly sixty years I've seen literally thousands of movies. This one has easily been in my top ten since I saw it for the first time thirty some years ago; it will always remain there. Coppola's brilliance is astonishing. This is a perfect movie, certainly one of the greatest movies ever made. Why? It deals with a deeply flawed but brilliant man who makes the mistake of beginning to care about people, which, in a sense, could become his redemption. But we don't really know. The movie is wonderfully enigmatic, understated, documentary-like at times. You have to listen carefully and to think; Coppola resists hitting you over the head to make a point. Gene Hackman in his greatest role, by far. The late John Cazale in a typically riveting performance (how's that for a filmography for John C: The Deerhunter, The Godfather Saga, The Conversation)! The great Alan Garfield (now Gurwitz) as the "best bugger on the east coast". Robert Duvall as the auto exec, with his creepy aide, Harrison Ford.
I won't attempt to summarize the film; I wouldn't do it justice. You may not like it, but it truly and eloquently spoke to me, and it continues to haunt me to this day.
