Review of Marty (1955) by Peter C — 31 Jul 2008
Any shy guy knows Marty cause he is him,ugly or handsome you feel for this joe and the hope he can find love.This film touched me in a way no film ever has in that I completely understand Marty's angst and fears. His line.
"You don't get to be good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you become a professor of pain.".
Is a line that I understand so well.Marty shows something that few films show even today which is the feelings of single men and women that is not angry,passive aggressive or misanthropic it is just about the single men and women who want companionship.Chayefsky is the man that every writer of films wants to be.Probably in my Top 15 favorite films of all time.
