Gold Blooded - Short Western Film

[@nymalous3428]

Within seconds of hearing the opening music I knew that I had to like this, whether the story/acting/cinematography were good or not... and they were all good, great even. I especially liked the "life flashing before the eyes" montage of the prospector's journey from civilization to the wilds. The music and its timing are so very good, my favorite parts to an overall very enjoyable and well done film.

Jonathan did you make this... I really like these short films a new genre of film making. I like the image framing and the under stated acting, very cool minimal use of each cut and moment ... I agree with the previous comment, it started with a tasty music moment / Im going to watch tomorrow your film Bounty Hunted. Thanks again

[@BlaisUnlimited]

@@GreatWaterCircus Yes, I love making these shorts! We really enjoy exploring ideas and filmmaking in the western genre. I’m so glad you took the time to watch. I’d love to hear what you think of Bounty Hunted!

[@GreatWaterCircus]

@@BlaisUnlimited Giday Mate... I decided I'd better watch it. Ha ha I liked it, the same styles... I have to mention I do like my western characters to be not so clean shaven and a bit messy. OK I might/ most likely I am wrong about personal hygiene back in the day, as there was a lot of pride back then in dress and style. At first I though they were too young, but then as the film rolled I liked them as the Sherif turned to be a real bastard and the bounty hunter was young and out of his league, so very good character development.... yhea I liked the characters. The Sound of the film was 100 percent, impressive gun shot blasts and the pace of the action drove the film along between real life action with a hint of Hollywood ( They got shot and could still run, but I was there and so it worked really well, good balance), again that minimal but very effective use of dialogue and characters drew me in until we got to the end ... very cool hat trick and that gave the end a twist, I though the bounty hunter was going to appear after they both shot each other, as the badge might have saved him... but that seems too Hollywood. I liked your ending. Very cool film Thank you.

[@gaylebrown8479]

[@silverfox4055]

Yup, putting this in my list of loves for short films. My 3rd great grandfather was one of the first to go traipsing through Canada on the way to Alaska for the Gold Rush. He died on the way there and left behind his wife and son. His son then later joined the Union and Confederate Armies. ((He fought for the Confederates first and then moved and fought for the Union after his mama died. Watching his life through a paper trail was really interesting.))

[@BlaisUnlimited]

[@alexgramm5170]

I must say I liked it. I've been checking out short western films lately have not been greatly impressed.. not that I'm any kind of critic.. but I grew up on Mr. Eastwood especially fond of Josey Wales. The backstory definitely helped. The prospector was a sympathetic character boyish ..innocent enough to be likable.. naive seemingly. The jumper could have been a bit more evil perhaps but maybe a youth himself not that smart. I definitely noticed the strings through the forest.. let me know prospector was running with a purpose.. what it was ..I wasn't sure of. I thought he had turned resigned to his fate..hence flashback..only to find not so naive after all and a bit of the badass ...needs boots.. leave him for the crows and worms. Maybe he would come back to bury having been brought up believing folks deserve a decent burial. Music was good too. I also definitely reacted to him not having his pistol nearby. Was glad to see his stash. Well there you have it my first movie review.
