The Duellists

[Deadstick]

This was a 1977 film and much underrated, everything about it was outstanding, the cinematography was just stunning the attention to detail was great.

Never saw it, but see that it was Ridley Scott's first film, so I bet it is good. His second film was 'Alien', which was a blockbuster.

Why did they fall out ?

 

[Deadstick]

They were never friends Tommy, they were two Cavalry officers in the army of Napoleon, the one played by Harvey Keitel enjoyed starting fights so he could challenge men to a duel, the other one played by Keith Carradine was targeted by Keitel, he tried to reason with him but Keitel wanted blood they had about four duels Keitel persued Carradine for years even in Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, if you like films it's well worth a watch.

Saw this several years ago, I remember it as being a pretty solid movie.

Like i say everything about the film was great,the cinematography the atmospheric sound track the attention to detail of the period etc, this trailer will give people an idea about the film, it would be a good idea these days if World leaders settled things this way and less people would be dead.

Another of my favourite films, an old one but one of the best westerns made, Shane, always liked Ben Johnson in films.

I thought it was made up of interesting set pieces, but over all the story was weak....

Why did they fall out ?

Because Harvey Keitel's character was a bully. Carradine, under orders from a superior officer, goes to collect Keitel.....Keitel tells Carradine he embarrassed him in front of his lady friend and the group he was with, and proceeds to challenge him to a duel.....the duel keeps getting interrupted for various reasons, and they keep meeting over a number of years and each time Keitel insists on finishing the duel.....

The action is quite realistic, a good film, but not a great one.......

I wouldn't say it was very good.....it had good moments, but it was something of a disjointed movie.......the duels were really well done.....

I enjoyed watching both "Shane" and "The Duelists" in the last week.
