Kakva legenda, obožavao sam ga. Imao je neku super šmekersku opuštenost, ali ne one preterane mačističke vrste, kao Istvud npr. nego uvek uz dozu humora, i neke blage auto-ironije. I pozne uloge su mu bile super.

Ovo mu je verovatno najbolja uloga

 

 

Iako skromnog glumackog umeca, stas i glas su mu omogucili dugu i lepu karijeru..

Meni je ovaj film super, i on je odličan u njemu.

Odličan tekst u New Republic, koji konstatuje skoro isto što i ja (nisam ga čitao pre prethodnog posta, čista koincidencija) - lakoću, šarm, ironiju.

 

Indeed, if you watch The Great Escape, or The Americanization of Emily, or Garner’s television roles today, what you really see is a man out in front of his time, largely because Garner doesn’t appear to be conforming to any outside standard of manliness. This is probably why he and Cary Grant have aged so well, and other stars, especially macho-types like John Wayne and Stallone and Schwarzenegger, have not. (Clint Eastwood would be the counter-example here.) Garner was funny and self-assured, and he always seemed more ironic and aware than anyone else onscreen. This is one way of ensuring that your work never feels dated, and it is why Garner’s numerous film and television appearances are still worth tracking down and watching.

 

 

I jedan malo stariji tekst, Klajv Džejms, on every sane person’s favorite modern male movie star.

 

James Garner, you can bet on it, has never told an important lie in his life. He really is like the men he plays onscreen, even unto the modest requirements symbolized by the humble trailer that serves Jim Rockford for a residence. He is thoughtful, honest, and fundamentally gentle, although he has knocked men down when riled. On the evidence given here, one doesn’t doubt that they asked for it. One doesn’t doubt this guy at all.

Every sane person’s favorite modern male movie star, Garner might have done even better if he’d been less articulate. In his generation, three male TV stars made it big in the movies: Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and Garner. All of them became stars in TV Westerns: McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive, Eastwood in Rawhide, and Garner in Maverick. The only one of them who looked and sounded as if he enjoyed communicating by means of the spoken word was Garner. McQueen never felt ready for a film role until he had figured out what the character should do with his hands: that scene-stealing bit in his breakout movie, The Magnificent Seven, in which he shakes the shotgun cartridges beside his ear, was McQueen’s equivalent of a Shakespearean soliloquy, or of a practice session for a postatomic future in which language had ceased to exist.

As for Eastwood, he puts all that effort into gritting his teeth, because his tongue is tied. Garner could learn and deliver page after page of neat Paddy Chayevsky. If you can bear the idea of watching Eastwood struggling with a long speech, take a look at his self-constructed disaster movie White Hunter, Black Heart, in which he plays John Huston at the theoretical top of his mad male confidence: it’s like watching a mouse choke. Like McQueen, Eastwood never really left the Wild West, where little is said except by a six-gun. When McQueen and Eastwood moved up, they took the Wild West with them. Or at any rate, they took a context in which the important things are all unspoken, because nobody really knows how to speak.

Garner or his narrator could really have told us more about just how leaden-tongued modern Hollywood is. Writers like Chayevsky and Aaron Sorkin are rare cases, and the preferred way of writing is to bolt together clichés that have already been tested to near-destruction. When Garner speaks here about the marvelous Joan Hackett, he forgets to say that she spoke beautifully. Of what use was that, in a medium that spoke—still speaks—in a string of sunsets and crashed cars?

Garner, a quick study who could learn and deliver speeches long enough to make his awed listeners hold their breath to the breaking point, was the only one who seemed to enjoy producing intelligible noise. But Garner, compared with the other two, never really caught on as a big-screen leading man. Though tall and handsome, he was never remote: he had an air of belonging down here with us.
