Barbarosa Reviews
Top-notch western
Willie Nelson and Gary Busey are two bandits on the run from family vendettas on the Texas border. Nelson is Barbarosa, a legend in his own time as a bank robber and fugitive, and is being chased by family members who claim he has killed some of their own; Busey has accidentally killed his brother-in-law, and relatives are after his head. The way members of the community are afraid of Nelson yet admire him even more is interestingly developed. The rapport between the two bandits as Nelson becomes Busey's mentor, even father-figure, is also nicely handled - full of warm camaraderie and gentle humor. The movie has a dusty, gritty feel to it thanks to the excellent photography. It's an insightful, well-acted movie, entertaining and exciting. Worth a watch.
Uh, where is the widescreen version??
Beautiful western! Just beautiful!
And I can think of no other western, besides Walsh's "The Big Trail" which so clearly NEEDS a widescreen transfer yet, for some reason, doesn't have it!!!
Why???
Please, if someone is listening, these films deserve to be seen widescreen. The cinematography in Barbarosa (as well as "The Big Trail") is absolutely breathtaking and is integral to the story.
