YES. ...Yes! A Robert Duvall fan club--I like it:)<br /><br />YES. All of Hub's lines are just fantastic, especially that one.<br /><br />Good! I watched a little more of it today and liked it better, so far:)<br /><br />Aww, so am I!:DOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-79118782725066952672015-02-26T19:39:43.311-05:002015-02-26T19:39:43.311-05:00Oh, yay!

YES. THIS MOVIE. I can't...Thank you so much! YES. THIS MOVIE. I can't stop gushing about it--I'm just the teensiest bit obsessed at the moment.<br /><br />Robert Duvall. Forever and ever, amen. Okay, well, about Lonesome Dove--I have the feeling I didn't like him as much because I haven't yet seen the whole thing. But eventually, I will, and then I'll probably love him;) I did really like him in that scene by the river when he's talking with Woodrow (I think in maybe the third segment?) and he's reminiscing about Clara. He's really sensitive and sweet there, and when he's rescuing Lorie darlin' =D Good! Well, then, I shall have to finish it:D <br /><br />I LOVE Secondhand Lions! I've grown up on it, and I absolutely adore it. Robert Duvall's lines in that movie, though: "I'm Hub McCan. I've fought in two world wars on seven continents…" I can't finish that quote but OH MY WORD.<br /><br />Tom Harte may or may not be my current second-favorite hero in all of fiction *coughcough* I love him to pieces. YES THE SCENE AT THE END AND THE LITTLE MUSICAL THEME RECURRING AND THE SLOW MOTION AND OH THE FEELS!<br /><br />I really like Nola, too…I'm just still deciding whether I ship her and Print. But yes, that scene by the river…it's so adorable! And when Print says that…yes!:D<br /><br />THE ENDING. YES. Tom and Sun Fu and the snow and the feels and the realness of it all and I JUST CAN'T.<br /><br />Thank you sooo much for such an awesome comment! And aww, thanks so for saying that! (Yes, I will finish Lonesome Dove =D)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-81501386724242237532015-02-26T08:19:20.167-05:002015-02-26T08:19:20.167-05:00AHHHHHH!!!!
*ahem* Calm down, Emma.
What an AW...AHHHHHH!!!!<br /><br /> *ahem* Calm down, Emma.<br /><br /> What an AWESOME review, Arwen!!! And especially awesome because we seem to have the same emotions concerning this movie, haha. ;-P It's so great to read about someone else who loves it as much as I do! It's kind of an off-brand western, so it's not that popular, but it's SO stinkin' good! You have no idea how tickled I am that you think so too! :-)<br /><br /> Yup, Robert Duvall is my second-favorite actor. You already know that. He is just such a joy to watch! He's often the reason why I'm drawn to movies like this one, and end up loving them. ;-P But oh, you don't like Lonesome Dove?!? WHAT?!? *ahem* I will not be aggressive. Yes, I know Gus is a womanizer....which is regrettable. But he has so many other great qualities, and he's so endearing despite it, and...oh, I can't help but be fond of him. And let me recommend watching the entire Lonesome Dove-- the second half is the best part. It's amazing. That's my favorite western, actually. I could go on about that one for hours....days, maybe....<br /><br /> Where was I? Oh yes, Robert Duvall. Have you seen Secondhand Lions? He's hilarious in that one, and it's a really sweet, quirky movie (I love those best.) ;-P<br /><br /> Tom Harte is the ultimate cowboy hero, in my opinion. He's rough on the surface, which is why it took me a while to like him, but then more and more you glimpse what a good man he is. I like him even more for his rough exterior. And I love how he's always turning up just in time to save the day-- the scene near the end (the really intense one where Ed shows up) is my favorite. OH MY GOODNESS. So many feeeeeels.....!!!!<br /><br /> But yeah. Tom is awesome. I also really like Nola, actually. I loved the scene where she and Print are sitting together by the river and talking-- personally, I think their relationship/friendship was beautiful. My favorite line is when Print says, "I'd pay forty dollars just to watch you hang laundry." <br /><br /> When the first part ended at that really brutal scene, I totally thought it was over. Done, that was the end. Very traumatizing. Thankfully the second part started right up!<br /><br /> I LOVE the ending. LOVE it. It's not sad, like you said, though of course there are sad things about it. It's sooooo sweet. Tom and Sun Fu....OHHHHHHHH!!!!! Just, awww. It was adorable. I almost couldn't stand it.<br /> <br /> Anyway, I'd better stop now. :-) I loved reading your review! And I'm so glad I finally came and visited your blog-- where has it been all this time, I wonder? Or, more appropriately, where have I been? ;-P <br /><br /> ~Emma<br /><br />P.S. I leave you with this: watch Lonesome Dove. ;-)Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215503772898813587noreply@blogger.com
