Another choice new addition for your Netflix Instant queue:
A very affectionate overview of the life and career of writer/director John Milius. If you aren't familiar with him, he's had his hand on a wide array of the best films from American cinema's best era. From "Apocalypse Now" to 'Dirty Harry" to penning the Indianapolis monologue from "Jaws", its a look at the bombastic personality and prolific pen of a great Hollywood heavyweight.
Oh, and he also made "Conan The Barbarian", so viewing is required considering the musical tastes of this site.
The film has no shortage of expert opinions wether its Spielberg, or Lucas, or Eastwood, or Scorcese the admiration and adulation over John Milius' work is quite staggering. Brian Singer also puts in his perspective throughout the film (which the film maker's might regret at this point in time), but no matter, Milius was a mercurial writer whose filmography hopscotches through the best that 1970's cinema had to offer. All the while being paid in "guns, gold and girls" as he put it.
Check it out because the story behind his stories is thoroughly entertaining.
*And oh, they also address the 'Walter Sobchak' paralleles at the very end.
