Hey Joe, good morning! I gotta tell you, I so enjoy reading all your background information on any given movie, but I’m amazed that any movies get made… It’s just amazing how writers and screenplays and producers, etc. all come together or don’t all come together… It’s just amazing. Anyway, I’ll hold until I read part two to try and understand my reaction to this movie, but I’ll just say right now, that I love the idea of immortals battling each other over hundreds of years, I love the visuals of armor and swords in modern day perspective, I thought it was particularly clever and inventive the concepts of the quickening and the gathering… But for some reason, I’m not sure why, I just didn’t like Christopher Lambert in any scene he was in except maybe the dueling… But anyway, I’ll wait for your analysis in part two to see if it’s maybe it’s because he didn’t speak English or whatever… In the meantime, as always, great research, great information and I’ll await your ultimate analysis. Peace! CPZ
Thanks, Zeke! My #1 takeaway from writing these articles is that, yes, it's a minor miracle when any movie gets made. It really doesn't matter if Steven Spielberg is directing or Spielberg's pool guy, if it's Jurassic Park or something shot out of a van.
I won't get too Roger Ebert-y but a question I have about Highlander is why there aren't any female immortals. The script was written in the 1980s by a couple of red-blooded men and questions like that didn't come up in those days. The neglect did give us The Old Guard, a comic book about immortal warriors that was made into a pretty good movie with Charlize Theron in the lead in 2020.
