Storyline:]Friday Morning - In a London Townhouse:The opening setting was a fashionable London townhouse (a policeman patrolled outside) where a wealthy couple lived - at 61 A Charrington Gardens (a two-minute walk from the Underground station).The whimsical revisionist Western film, with the new "M" rating (for mature), although varying considerably in tone and mood, did so by imitating the styles of other cultish outlaw films, including director Arthur Penn""sBonnie and Clyde (1967), and the balletic graceful shootouts of Sam Peckinpah""sThe Wild Bunch (1969).It""s like falling off a cliff in slow-motion, you know.Only after a while, you wish you""d hit the ground already, you know." He states he fell off a cliff when he met her.Then, she tries to bring up his spirits:Now you""ve gotta stop being sick...that guilty look on your face, it""s sick.Would you stop blaming yourself, you god-damn stupid preppy.It""s nobody""s fault.It""s not your fault.That""s he only thing I""m gonna ask you.Otherwise, I know you""re gonna be OK.(pause) Screw Paris!...Screw Paris and music and all that stuff you thought you stole from me.I don""t care, don""t you believe hat? (He shook his head no) Then get the hell out of here.I don""t want you at my god-damn deathbed.He finally admits: "I believe you.I really do." She responds with a last request: "That""s better.Would you please do something for me, Ollie? (He kisses her hand) Would you please hold me? (He half-heartedly hugs her) No, I mean really hold me.It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter for he way was barred to me.Two years earlier, another Western filmDances With Wolves (1990)took the top honor.The first Western to win he Best Picture Oscar wasCimarron (1930/1931).Plot SynopsisA frontier home, lone tree, golden sunset, and a man digging a grave site are silhouetted on the horizon in the opening, long-shot image.
