Sean Connyry War Movie was not without James Bond

Sean Conneri came out of the relative ambiguity to win part of James Bond due to the likes of Carrie Grant and David Nevin. Certainly, the producers were rewarding their belief in the Scottish, which made the role he achieved in five adventures 007 before he went (only to return in “diamonds forever” and “Never say again.”These films made him a familiar name, a symbol of sex, and an international symbol, but they overwhelmed the rest of his career. But he had a great ability to go beyond the great appearance in an evening, and two of his most essential roles came with Sidney Lumet in “The Hill” and “The Empense”. Ironically, the first of these films may not have happened without Koniri’s work in the service of the secret Her Majesty.

Although Conneri had already started boredom from Bond playing after “Doctor La” and “Goldenger”, he used his balance of these films to spawn in more serious dramatic roles, as he appeared in “Marney” from Alfred Hitchcock “Marny” and “Basil Denden”. It is better to be the Lumet “The Hill”, which Connery admitted may not be present without pulling the box office salad after playing the Suve Secret client. He told Playboy magazine:

((Bond’s success) had everything related to it, of course. In fact, it may not have been made at all except for Bond. It is a great movie with many good actors in it, but it is a kind of films that may have been considered Bond with another, and given that there is an unprecedented property in anything of the arts. Who, if they put their names on a contract, this means that financial affairs will come. “

Two Konrei films may be extracted with Lumet because they are both very dark and misleading. I would like to claim that the best performance of Konrei came in “The Excelnese” in 1973, where he played a burning copper in the event of a suspected sexual crimes (Ian Banin in a nomination role for BAFTA), which may hous the perverted fantasies on its own. Eight years ago, he was almost good in the movie “The Hill”, playing a naive military prisoner who collides with the authorities after the death of an unnecessary colleague. Let’s take a closer look.

“The Hill” is a strong drama that was placed during World War II in a British military prison in the Libyan bread desert. The facility is managed by Sergeant Wilson (Harry Andrews), an experienced professional man who is proud of his ability to collapse and manufacture them in worthy soldiers again. His direct subordinates are Sergeant Williams (Ian Hindari) and Sergeant employees (Ian Banin), two men who differ greatly in their approach to dealing with prisoners. This becomes very clear when they receive a new collection of prisoners: Deek Deserter George Stevens (Alfred Lynch), Lazy Black Markeeer Mony Bartlett (Roy Kinnear), Sharp McGrate (Jack Watson), West Indian Private program Jacko King (Ossie Davis). Among them is that Nut Wilson really wants to break, Joe Roberts (Connery), a former squadron leader who was convicted of the commander of the leader after rejecting the orders of a suicide mission.

Once the new arrivals are announced by the medical prison employee (Michael Ridgrif), they are handed over to Williams to introduce harsh life into the camp. The preferred way of discipline is a quick prisoner on the hill of the title, and it is a hard hill made by human sand. Williams senses Stevens’s weakness and targets an additional punishment, causing his death from severe physical and mental fatigue. The death brings prison to the edge of riots and causes friction between the heads of the head, while Roberts takes courageously to the accusation of Williams of death. But whoever will have the courage to support him, and who will listen?

Ray Rigby, the British screenwriter who served in North Africa during the war and spent the talismans in the same military prison. He directed his experiences to the scenario, which proves unforgiving originality. Sidney Lumet’s approach, similar to documentaries, also adds to realism, as he depicted at the site in an old fort in southern Spain and is often using a portable camera to provide a sense of movement and immediate. Lucids Mores cinematography picks up the burning heat on the hill; I can’t think about another black and white movie looks hot. The race on the actors was real, as the temperatures during the shooting rose to 46 ° C (i.e. 114.8 degrees Fahrenheit, as a reference).

Despite winning prizes later in life (the most prominent of which is his only Oscar for his performance in “The Untoundount His performance in “The Hill” proves that he was very serious in the latter; It is not only the role of the anti -authorities Roberts, but he also shows a modest team player that can be. Although the film was built on the back of the tremendous success of his adventure James Bond and got the best bills, it greatly plays part of a group here, as it offers a smart and wicked performance that works perfectly with the actors of the great actors.

In fact, Connery appears to be happy to provide support to those who suffer from more famous roles, such as Ian Hinderi as Sergeant Williams Mallower, Cowl and Harry Andrews as Survery Wilson, who got a nomination for his amazing performance. Completely, these two characters provide a great criticism of power in the conditions of the cocker. Williams is an ambitious act, as it is more important to be self -that his duties are at the dangerous levels through the responsibility he bore, while Wilson is blind to his sincerity to the king and the country before he was pressured by Stevens’s death in the mode of reducing repressive damage. The rest of the actors all have great moments as well, especially Ossie Davis and Michael Redgrave, before Connyy gets a chance to do some performance in the end.

It is almost completely confined to the castle walls, “The Hill” is a film that controls and does not soften. More than a drama in prison more than one war outside and outside, may be the most common with Sidney Lumet’s “12 angry men,” Which also focused on a brave dissident on the mission of justice among a massive male crew. I also remembered the “King Rat” (also released in 1965) and was explored for the dynamics of strength and social structures inside the prisoners camp. Finally, the barking salad is uncompromising and moments of black humor “Full metal jacket,” Without the battle sequence in the second half to relieve pressure. It is not always an easy watch, but “The Hill” stands comfortably to the side of the three as a brown tract with Connery in the middle, just enjoy the opportunity to behave. Therefore, we have to thank James Bond.
