Remember Robert Duvall’s Montana Masterpiece?
Sad news yesterday as Robert Duvall died at 95 years old. Duvall was featured in 127 films, according to Letterboxd, and some all-time great movies like Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now.
After the Duvall news, my girlfriend and I threw on The Godfather because it's my favorite movie of all time, and Claire had never seen it. I didn't think she would enjoy it as much as I did, and I was right.
She could see how it's an all-time movie from the cinematography to the acting, but she said it didn't click with her.
She's dead wrong, but everybody is entitled to their opinion.
Anyway, rest in peace, Robert Duvall.
