Toasted Cheese My guess is that Burt Reynolds would be the last to think that he or his work would or should be "studied by film students". In his days of great popularity, he never claimed to be making art for the ages .. he was just having fun. In more recent interview, he regretted that he realized too late that he was a good actor and had passed up some opportunities to prove it. I can see him sitting back in his chair and laughing his BIG OL' LAUGH at the very idea of anyone even suggesting that he was being revered. "It appears that his biggest claim to fame was Smokey And The Bandit - 77' and is that hardly worth being revered for. " That is the film that many appear to associate him with and even if what he did was for fun, it doesn't change the fact that he made mostly shite. Reynolds is being revered by those that are sad of his passing, but for what exactly? If any of his films were to be studied, it would be Deliverance, as for pretty much the rest of it, it just goes to show he lacked taste. Was he self-deprecating, or just another Hollywood narcissist? |
