brooding Newman
What a good film! Paul Newman is a fantastic actor and really captures the attention of the viewer as the moody Hud in this beautifully shot movie. Although I am generally adverse to watching films over two hours because I tend to fall asleep I was wide awake through the whole duration of this! Newman has the ability to fit any role he encounters which adds to the brilliance.

provocative and damnignly powerful
br / br /guilt,old traditions ,loose morality ,drunken binges are the superficial vices of hud, played by Newman in his most charismatic and stylish turn EVER in an act which is almost a textbook performance,he defines the soul of a tough,hard texan cowboy with harmony and honesty in a world hard to survive ,his aging father is clashing with his rebellious son and their quarrels are just explosive ,caught in the middle is lon as the grandson admiring his uncle for his multiple talents with both rodeos and sex bouts . br / br /Everyone has to find their own niche and truth and Patricia neal is the housekeeper on a texan ranch -she is the fragile link between the 3 MEN. br / br /the dialogues and the camera are totally in control of the headstrong wild characters,this is easily Newman at his peak and the cinematography is superb with the herd massacre to the night time brawls and Car drives . br / br /Texas looks surreal and at times like a desolate kindom where newman rules the roost,this movie shows paul is just as good if not better than brando. br / br /This is just one of the most unusual and intellectually challenging puzzles hollywood has ever made and even today it shocks you with it's radical view of the Texan society .The conventions,traditions and culture assume a parody in the sense that the characters are too cool to let themselves be provoked by the environment ,the sangfroid just carries on as if their insouciance will correct every wrong and if not then they do not give a damn ,i suppose that is the gist of life anywhere and this movie is the absolute truth in every detail. br / br /
