Review of The Appaloosa (1966) by Sean S — 01 Jun 2010
As with most Marlon Brando films the best thing about it is Marlon Brando. Thats not to say the films arn't good it just shows how consistant he is as an actor and "The Apaloosa" is no exception. His performance is ranged and strong. From falling over blind drunk to sharpshooting enemies Brando is believeable in the role of pride filled Matt out for revenge after his peaceful new lifestyle had been disturbed. The directing is either love or hate as there are a lot of shots which are not framed in the traditional mainstream way with objects blocking your view of character, this is done intentionally though to help you focus on a certain thing within the frame.
The soundtrack is brilliant as well mixing the traditional western soundtrack with music that helps immerse you into the mexican culture and ambience.
