Late Tuesday night - rather Wednesday ‘morning,’ I saw the Redford film ‘An Unfinished Life.’ With Morgan Freeman. Other good actors.
Kind of a lot going on in the movie - plot-lines galore.
I’m not saying he never made a good movie for sure.
This guy was born in 1936 and he made some good movies when he was in his prime: “Any Wednesday” with Fonda, “The Sting,” “Butch & Sundance,” maybe “Three Days of the Condor.”
It’s just so disappointing that so many actors who did great stuff playing apolitical roles got famous and then railed against the establishment (especially when it was Republican) after they achieved their fame. It’s as if they think their fame gives them extra purchase on a belief system above everyone else.
Redford got his fame by playing a pretty boy, Fonda got hers playing the dumb blonde and showing her a$$...many of the others have similar success stories. So they then maximize their egos with all this leftist political crap and when they get old and their money starts dwindling, they all of a sudden want to get back into commercialism and capitalism (Fonda’s workouts, Newman’s Dressing, and all those old fart actors hawking Gold or Reverse Mortgages on TV), it’s disgusting. I just don’t prefer to feed their egos or their bank accounts any more.
