John Wayne
(as Rooster Cogburn)

Goudy: Now is it not true that you sprang up on old man Wharton and his two sons with a deadly, six shot revolver in your hand?
Rooster Cogburn: I always try to be ready.
Goudy: Was this revolver loaded and cocked?
Rooster Cogburn: Well, a gun that’s unloaded and cocked ain’t good for nothin’.

Kim Darby
(as Mattie Ross)

Mattie Ross: [watching Rooster load his revolver] Why do you keep that one chamber empty?
Rooster Cogburn: So I won’t shoot my foot off.

Strother Martin
(as Col. G. Stonehill)

Mattie Ross: Do you know a Marshal Rooster Cogburn?
Col. G. Stonehill: Most people around here have heard of Rooster Cogburn and some people live to regret it. I would not be surprised to learn that he’s a relative of yours.

Mattie Ross: I hope you don’t think I’m going to keep you in whiskey?
Rooster Cogburn: I don’t buy that, I confiscate it. And a touch of it wouldn’t do you any harm against the night air!
Mattie Ross: I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains!
Rooster Cogburn: Well, it’s the real article! Genuine, double-rectified bust head. Aged in the keg.

Flow of Silence

I’m Jack Nicholson

Film in the movie hall is illusion and reality at the same time. ( c) ram H singhal

MY second film Artist for Week 18 of Year 2021 is Legendary Jack Nichlson and the film is

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60. Jack Nicholson

I’m an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30’s. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled. Jack Nicholson

I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself. Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson, an American actor, producer, director and screenwriter, is a three-time Academy Award winner and twelve-time nominee and one of the two actors – the other being Michael Caine who have received an Oscar nomination in every decade from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in Neptune, New Jersey.

Nicholson scored his first Oscar and created one of his most iconic characters as McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Nicholson plays a man who pleads insanity to avoid getting sent to prison and finds himself in a mental institution where he becomes the leader of the odd group of patients there.

The movie is a funny, sad and powerful film featuring a great cast led by Nicholson. The is the perfect rebel for this story, an immature and selfish man who nonetheless becomes something of a protector to these outcasts.

A great movie to watch with superb natural acting by All.

Love all.

Morgan Freeman

Life is a fair energy and Love is value energy and when we love life than fair energy become freedom and wholeness in Life.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance. Morgan Freeman

We humans are more concerned with having than with being. Morgan Freeman

I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it.

How do you be good to life?

You live it.

Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman performance as the chauffeur Hoke Colburn to Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy) that really put him on the movie star map. 

it’s a really well made film with wonderful acting performances from Jessica Tandy, who won an Oscar for her role as Miss Daisy

Driving Miss Daisy won four Oscars and was nominated for another five, including Best Actor for Freeman, though he didn’t win.

A fine dialogue from the movie

“- Daisy Werthan: You know your letters don’t you?
– Hoke Colburn: Oh yeah, yeah I know my abc’s pretty good, just can’t read. 
– Daisy Werthan: Stop saying that you’re making me mad! If you know your letters you can read. You just don’t know you can read. 

The last scene is truly heart touching , if you have not watched than do watch it , it is a value for time Movie,
