RIP Patrick Swayze-Point Break

ar fi fost bine daca s-ar fi dus la un surf si nu s-ar mai fi intors...dar s-a cam chinuit cu acest cancer la pancreas care l-a ros de tot la 57 de ani...



obituary imdb:

Actor Patrick Swayze, who attained heartthrob status in the movies Dirty Dancing and Ghost, died Monday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer; he was 57.

The star revealed in March of 2008 that he was suffering from the deadly form of cancer, but continued working on the A&E series The Beast, and remained optimistic in interviews and on the set during his treatment.

Swayze shot to fame in the early '80s as part of the destined-for-fame ensemble in the 1983 drama The Outsiders, and also appeared in the action drama Red Dawn before taking on one of the lead roles in the popular miniseries North and South. He hit his zenith of fame in the late '80s and early '90s with the smash hit Dirty Dancing (1987), the cult fave Road House (1989), and the Oscar-winner Ghost (1990), opposite Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, where his pottery-making scene with Moore became one of cinema's most iconic romantic scenes.

His films in the '90s included another cult favorite, Point Break, as well as the drama City of Joy, the cross-dressing comedy To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar, and the indie hit Donnie Darko. He reprised his Dirty Dancing role in the quasi-remake Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. In addition to his role in The Beast, Swayze most recently appeared in the drama Powder Blue and British comedy Keeping Mum.

Swayze is survived by his wife Lisa Niemi, whom he married in 1975.

pentru mine Swayze nu a fost like the wind (desi piesa "She's Like the Wind," nu era rea), dar mi-a placut in Red Dawn, Road House, Steel Dawn (un poor man's Mand Max), Next of Kin si of course Bodhi din Point Break !!! poate acu-l si revad...incercarile lui de action tough macho man...

trebuia sa fi jucat rolul principal in Total Recall varianta Bruce Beresford care
s-ar fi filmat in Australia dar a dat De Laurentiis faliment...

recuperari: The Long Ships (1964)

tagline: The Greatest Viking Adventure Of Them All!
filmul cu vikingi, Sidney Poitier si the mare of steel, obiect de tortura care mai inspaiminta si azi !!! Filmat in Yugoslavia de Christopher Challis in pentru Jack Cardiff (pe care l-au luat ca fusese operator la Vikingii)! Faimos pe vremea lui Ciao Bao, as Corabiile lungi sau in sirba, Dugi brodovi , dar eu l-am vazut abia acum, dupa ce am recuperat si Vikingii lui Fleischer (din 1958, filmat si el in Dalmatia, in Kornati/azi Croatia), si un Bava cu vikingi copiat dupa el, Erik cuceritorul (Gli Invasori, 1961)


overblown, epic cu Richard Widmark excelent (Rolf !!) si Russ Tamblyn acrobatic...Poitier e ultraserios intr-un rol de maur..reminscente azi in The 13th Warrior si Kingdom of Heaven ! Oskar Homolka secondeaza cu aplomb si frumusetea locala Beba Loncar (blonda Greta)si Rosanna Schiaffino.

muzica de sirbul Dusan Radic , care ulterior l-a orhestrat si pe Ghenghis Khan
Plotul are de-a face cu un clopot imens de aur (the mother of all voices) pe care-l vineaza si vikingii si maurii, prezentat intr-un prolog facut de Maurice Binder. Bazat pe romanul clasic suedez al lui Frans Bengtsson pe care se pare ca l-a masacrat. Produs de Irvin "Poseidon" Allen.
trivia: There was dissension on the set, as Widmark hated the script and played it as camp while Poitier hated his dialogue and played it seriously
