god I love when a guy posts some shit like 'there is one rule to war: [nonsense]'

yeah I think the 'champion rake-stepper' interpretation wins out rather than anything ideological

predictable dog chess outcome tbh

more films should have the courage to blow out the footage on a whole scene on purpose

(these men are playing chess with dogs)

this movie is simultaneously obsessed with the beauty of Europe and its nobility and also with letting you know that rich people are stunted, vain sacks of shit and you should hate them more

ENTER CHARLTON HESTON

one thing I do remember bugging me even as a kid was that the audio recording is really weird sometimes but now that I know a little more about film I can say confidently: there are some incredibly hairy ADR crimes happening in this production

I don't recall Porthos being a favorite character of mine when I was a kid, but he's sort of stealing the show tbh

There is not even one wasted frame in this whole film

Never do what anyone expects Porthos, you got it

it's not at all hard to believe that this guy would have his whole afternoon booked with appointments to murder him after just walking down the stairs

"I swear it just did that"

No one has ever played d'Artagnan like the hot moron he is with anything close to the gusto that Michael York does

this movie rules so much

Moss these aren’t unhinged all of these are just bangers
