A treat before bed

[chani]

A friend called me to check on me and tell me that The Untouchables was on telly! I just love that film ! It is De Palma's best work in my opinion. Costner is an interesting Eliot Ness (and we get a great shot on his beautiful green eyes before he kills Nitty) , David Mamet is an excellent writer (The Spanish Prisoner would be a perfect example of his talent!), the action scenes are really entertaining and there's Sean Connery...

So I turned the tv on and it was the scene of Malone's death. Ennio Morricone's score and Costner whispering "Jimmy, Jimmy" on a bloody dying Sean Connery get me every time...so I cried as usual. And again in the end when Ness looks at the photograph and the music starts.

I think that crying might be good for my cold-flu, it helps to clear my nose.

I really like that movie too. About the only Costner I can get into, but it's a good flick.

Yeah Costner wasn't bad at the time. He wasn't very famous yet and the movie didn't revolve around him even though he had the leading role.

And there was Sean...
