Charlton Heston

[RCCHGA]

This man was not a great actor but he was an epic actor and commended the screen in all his movies. It is interesting to read the obituaries where they recite all of his movies. However, they all miss (perhaps on purpose) his last and most memorable role and that was his cameo appearance in Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine"! RIP NRA...!!

My favourite movies of his where The Omega Man and Soylent Green.

Holy Moses!

Final scene in planet of the apes when he says damn you damn you all....and realizes he was on earth all along. Watching that the first time between his acting and the script, freaked me out big time.

omega man is awesome too.

I like what they can do with special effects today but I didn't like how the infected humans had super human strength, agility and speed. The basic concept is too similar between this movie, 28 Days Laters and 28 Weeks Later. I preferred the idea of The Omega Man that the infected survivors maintained their human qualities and intelligence. Those type of people are much scarier than rabid super humans.

I agree 100% in fact I could accept losing the intelligence part but the super human ability lost me.

Michael Moore has the skill of twisting an occasion to his purpose.
Heston maintained that the individual American's liberty must be secured, even from his own Government if it ever threatened to amend the Bill of Rights. The right to bear arms should not be thought of as the right to kill. It was never meant to be equated with that, but instead has always meant the right to defend one's self and his country. Individual civil rights in America are still highly valued. There are good reasons for Americans to worry about a lessening of those rights since the Bush administration. Heston was fully aware that the strength of America presided with the rights of the individual.

Heston was an activist for civil rights when it wasn't popular to do so, and was consistent throughout his life in his support of individual freedoms, liberty, and the inherant equality of all humans.

That Michael Moore chose to take advantage of an elderly man who was clearly not able to articulate his thoughts properly, and who invited Michael INTO HIS home was tasteless and crude.

Heston's support of the NRA was a reflection for his belief in the constitutional rights of all US citizens, and that government should serve and be beholden to its people, not the other way around.

Certainly alot better than that Will Smith piece of crap 'remake' :$Ironically, I just watched the original over the weekend -- called "The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price. It was bad. FUNNY bad. I don't smoke pot, but if I did, I imagine I would like nothing better than watching "The Last Man on Earth" while goofed.

The zombies would just come up to him with sticks and he'd escape them by pushing them away. It was billed as a horror movie, but the zombies seemed to be more annoying than terrifying.

Until I looked it up in a movie guide the next day, I had no idea it was based on the book "I am Legend".

[BowmanvilleJim]

I haven't seen "The Last Man on Earth" but I was aware of the book. I once read a book called "The Last Canadian". It was a last man fiction and I liked it. There where no zombies or superhumans, just a guy trying to survive after a deadly plague (man made as it turns out) kills 99% of all the people in North America.

Beautifully stated,thank you.
Moore is and always will be a crass opportunist, basically a voyer.
