How did Robert redford provide a platform in your view of life

[citruscurtis]

The natural...his view of Roy Hobbs and that "magic is aviable" and Bernard malmaud Roy Hobbs that life is tragic... which became a novel about tiger woods

RIP Robert. I can't of any impact Robert Redford had on my life.

"A Walk In The Woods" is not a great movie and is not as good as the Bryson book on which it's based. But being of a certain age, I like that he was willing to have a great adventure and it also gave him a better appreciation for what he has.

He did better movies, but that's the one that comes closest to providing a "platform" of my life.

RIP. But no impact here.

He kept independent film alive and helped it flourish as an important part of one of the world's great art forms. The filmmakers he inspired and enabled have provided countless hours of happiness to my life.

CBS morning News had a lengthy interview with a critic as it's lead story and you are observant as you were parallel with his views about redford.....and I was surprised at the length of the interview... can't wait for Jane Sunday morning

His contribution to the awareness of independent cinema is invaluable. I can't imagine where it would be without his efforts.

I showed the NATURAL opening sequence up to his GOAT statement on the third day of school (schedule changes are devastating)...a primer to freshman students about the Odyssey and welcome to high school...we are no longer reading for pleasure but symbolic interpretation

This is my favorite quote about symbolism. Hemmingway about The Old Man and the Sea:

‘There isn’t any symbolism, the sea is the sea, the old man is an old man, the sharks are all sharks, no better nor worse. All the symbolism that people say is ****.’

Which is why garden of Eden was published after his death ... because we didn't need hip waders in our graduate studies class

There is a reason he didn't publish Garden of Eden when he was alive. If he ever came back to life, the first thing he would do is shoot the people that edited the crap they published.
