Al & Doc Cochran - Deadwood The Movie

[@drobinson-uo7ic]

Doc was my favorite character. Compassionate and intelligent, but absolutely straightforward and to the point when he needed to be. Brad Dourif is great.

[@joeyc8622]

He was also a grave robber.

[@bobobandy9382]

Great character, but wasn't it clear in season 3 that he was on his way out?

[@jsnrvst]

@@joeyc8622 Only because he didn't have access to medical cadavers. The practice made him a better doctor.

[@trevscribbles]

@@bobobandy9382 He had consumption alright but that wasn't a definite death sentence, even back then. Just likely rather than a certainty, much like how Tolliver's man survived the pox.

[@bobobandy9382]

@@trevscribbles It was made out to be pretty advanced, but yeah, fair enough. Nice to meet fans of the show, in any case.

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

Brad Dourif and Ian McShane - two great actors. I always loved the verbal sparring between Doc and Al.

[@NotCthulhu]

Between Doc and anyone. Lucky some sore motherfucker didn't blow his head off for it.

[@DarkCreed]

He *is* the healthcare system. So no one, not even Al, will dare touch him no matter how much he mouths off.

[@bobobandy9382]

Those two going back and forth about Reverend Smith in season 1... priceless stuff.

[@johansmallberries9874]

"Easier told than saddled and rode" is a great damn line. Even Johnny thinks so haha.

[@onlythequestion]

So good. No other series could muster such lyrical banter.

[@bluetexan2775]

"That's easier told than saddled and rode." I'm so using this

[@Adam-bq2vw]

Ten years later, the residents of Deadwood have aged twenty years.

[@-Zakhiel-]

A life of alcool, stress, violence and diseases (and for some drugs) will do that to you. People didn't age with grace back then.

[@cmcproductions26]

Yeah they all look so much older. I don't understand why they have Jewell looking like she's straight out of a nursing home. The actress who plays her doesn't look as old as they have her looking in the movie. Why'd they make her look so damn old, if it's set 10 years after the final episode of the show? I just now finished the show, after not watching it for a year. Every time that music plays, as the final episode begins to close, it bums me out. They could've done SO much more. Whoever is in charge of HBO (or was at the time) is an idiot. Best show I've ever seen. Even with the actors aging quite a bit, I still wouldn't mind a revival of the show, having it take place right after the movies story. Just have Al wake up the next morning feeling better, and Doc can say he's a medical miracle of some kind. Just sad that we'll never again see something new from the world of Deadwood.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

@@cmcproductions26 yes but at least we got a Deadwood movie at long last. I am truly absolutely grateful that I lived to see a great Breaking Bad movie, a Deadwood movie, and a Sopranos movie.

Deadwood was lucky to have Doc he was ahead of his time and took his oath so seriously.

[@mlipkin1]

Love how Al just yelled at Doc into getting over tuberculosis. Seemed to work!

[@10YEARDAYDREAM_Q]

i really wish they got to wrap deadwood up proper

[@DODGER23039]

Thank you missing Richardson RIP great series great movie Namaste

[@pinfold1000]

TWO GREAT ACTORS

[@joelashadali]

Unparalleled dialogue I'm glad David Milch was able to do this.

[@TheRageaholic]

Nobody planning to point out the fact that Doc has mysteriously recovered from his terminal Tuberculosis in the intervening decade?

[@robrick9361]

I'm more bothered by the variance in aging. Some characters look like they've aged 25 years.

[@fredthompson4568]

Dying from drinking to drunkenness. Ol Al. Damn

[@disenchantedwanderer9033]

The Doc was one of the best characters. But, but, every character was superbly acted, supporting and recurring. This, and the script writing made this show beyond awesome. Not one bad episode. Dan and Jonny were just brilliant, and Cy too. And Trixie shone like a star amongst other stars. When Trixie saw Ellsworth dead, oh man... you caned it.

[@BlotRorschach]

Never took any of Al's shit. And he knew he was the only one who could get away with it.

[@rickyhuff]

Doc left the joint with purpose.

[@steed3902]

Dan understood the gravity of the situation!

[@vaahtobileet]

"Friday it is." The writing in the movie did make some of the characters occasionally speak in a different style when compared to the TV show. In the show, Doc would've said to Al: "it's Friday", or "it's fucking Friday, Al." There was a scene between Sol Starr and Trixie that felt similar, where they both talked in a more "heightened" style. Maybe it was intentional. Who am I to question David Milch. It was most likely intentional.

[@JnEricsonx]

David Milch has Alzheimers. :( It might have started when making the movie.

[@Bigsmokeeey]

That was one problem I had with the movie too, it felt like they were trying to write deadwood instead of naturally writing the deadwood style. During the run of the show the style must have fit like a glove, after 10 years away from it they must have had some trouble getting back into that groove

[@twalling]

Guess Doc's lungs got better

[@seththomas9105]

They very well could have. My grandfather had TB scars on his lungs, but never was symptomatic, but had a older sister die from TB at the age of 22.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Doc made me less afraid of Chucky.

[@Michael-qg7os]

Brad ‘s BEST Performance..Hands Down in Any Venture ..Film or Stage...was in Exorcist lll ..( Written & Directed by William Peter Blatty ) Not Only as an Actor in the Film ,but Also as Narrator for Background Effects ..Blatty ,was and is..The Nightmare Genius ..But This Huntington West Virginia Native ( Brad Dourif ) Definitely Had the Perfect Role of the Remorseful Civil War Surgeon..in All 3 series of Deadwood . I Can’t speak for him..But I’m Sure it was the Personal Favorite Character of his Career to that Point..as we’re Sure to See and Experience more of his Talent. 🇺🇸💀☠️💀🇺🇸

[@jimmykray9583]

I could never take to Dan as much as the rest of the characters, mainly after the suffer the little children episode where he acted like Jimmy Saville with Flora. I understand it was a different time and that but it still made me uncomfortable with him.

[@jimmykray9583]

@Duty and Accountability Media Are you joking? She was like 13/14, at the very most she was 16.

[@Adam-bq2vw]

I felt like they over aged the cast. It was only supposed to have been a ten year time lapse.

[@ajholt84]

Times were harder on people than they are now. They aged and died progressively quicker than today's population.

[@mapefh1388]

have you seen how much whiskey they all drink?

[@-Zakhiel-]

A life of alcool, stress, violence and diseases (and for some drugs) will do that to you. People didn't age with grace back then.

[@ZCherish]

All the above, plus the stress of anyone-can-get-shot-at-any-moment can't ease the aging process

10 years of alcoholism isn't 10 years. Neither is 10 years in 1800s America.

Sorry Doc in this situation you are highly wrong drinking would have actually saved his life for that was the only thing keeping his blood thin

[@TedBackus]

they went too far with the artsy lines. i get it, the script from the original deadwood was amazing, the language was nearly Shakespearian, but overdoing that in the movie serves no one. they should have left it as it was before

[@ronniebishop2496]

Not even close to series.

[@kydalchemy]

I don’t know it looks pretty good!

[@leereitz]

Question...how is Doc alive? The series ended with him as a “lunger’

[@BarstoolBlues33]

@@leereitz That really annoyed me about the movie. They gave him a pretty severe case of tuberculosis (coughing up blood) in season 3, but then in the movie 10 years later (when he should be dead) they act like that story line never existed and he's just fine. It's nice that they wanted to have him in the movie, but it makes completely zero sense and just degrades the movie.

[@marciebalme588]

Yes I agree , but its the movies , perhaps it was just a chest infection

[@johansmallberries9874]

What's funny is Doc looks to be even more vigorous now than in the series.
