Dennis Patrick is great in this too. I love the weird and complicated relationship between those two men - and sometimes forgotten - them and their wives. It is how a good topical drama with political overtones is done. Something modern one track Hollywood studios should learn from. It's gritty, brutal, funny, nuanced and unsettling. It doesn't preach. It doesn't pander. It doesn't glorify. It doesn't hold back or self sensor. You can feel that Wexler and Avildsen had something to say, and said it in their own ways and their own voices, without looking to what was prudent or correct or en vogue. So refreshing!

Boyle and Patrick worked beautifully together.

Peter Boyle loved to play "Joe" characters like this, Crazy Joe, Tailgunner Joe and others.

This whole film was building to that shocking ending & he didn't even get to experience it. LOL I hope nobody is watching this video that hasn't seen the film because this too ruins the ending & it's worth seeing without having it spoiled. Nobody plays a bigot quite as well as Peter Boyle.

The conclusion was telegraphed, as soon as they picked up the guns, it was apparent how it would end.

3:28 um.. _spoilers?_ For those who would like to see the movie, I would advise watching this _after_ you see *Joe (1970)* first.

Michael Rappaport? No thank you. That is one way to guarantee I won't watch it. The only thing I watch with him in it is True Romance and he is the weakest part of the film. This has nothing to do with his politics either (although I think his takes are trash) but the fact he starred in the least funny sitcom I have ever had the displeasure to watch. Bill Burr would be a good choice if you wanted to go East Coast with the hypothetical remake. I would prefer someone more rust belt tho

What kind of parents would take their 7 year old kid to see this shit? Experiences like that is probably why Quentin eventually wound up on the Lolita Express with a suspiciously small foot in his mouth.

Tarantino is obsessed with cult films. He would give Valley of the Dolls a 10 before any Hitchcock film. His opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s. I’m just surprised how contrarian he tends to be. Hell, he loves Tony Scott… a lot. That’s fine. I just think it’s funny a director as talented as him mostly enjoys escapist films.
@CB-ke7eqАй бұрын
Escapist films are usually more fun.
@francescobenati2045Ай бұрын
To be fair, Hitchcock's films were mostly escapism (well, entertainment) at the time they came out. Now they're auteur and all that but that's a different story
@jbird97619 күн бұрын
I think it’s a fascination that he has and I think some people give weight to his opinions because they are probably equating his ability to make a good movie to the ability to point out others.

Joe is one of those films that shines a mirror at America and shows narratively and cinematically a degree of truth about US Society. In the case of Joe, it's a perfect encapsulation of Richard Nixon and the Republican party tactic of targeting.white ethnic voters with his brand of Silent Majority politics. The film features a cross class coalition of working class Peter Boyle and upper class Dennis Patrick. Fundamentally this is the nexus and the nuclear basis of Conservatism of 21st Century: Phony populism and cross class occasional coalitions based on grievance based political extremism. Turn on Fox News, Newsmax, OAN a n d you will see this in action. Joe basically paved the way for Archie Bunker in All in the Family later on the decade .

I saw Joe when it was released, I was 19, I thought it was a ham-fisted attempt at exploiting the us-and-them sentiments within the counterculture. A couple of girls that I knew were impressed by the film. They saw Boyle's character as an archetype of contemporary youth's adversary, the straight, white, hate filled, middle aged male and the story was an example of the discord between the generations. All of that was true to a point but I thought it was too corny, too overtly manipulative.

The zeitgeist in 1970 was far different than it is today, things were more distinct and unambiguous at that time. Everything which Joe represented could be distilled down to one word, ignorance! Its not that different today, its just that now, hate has been normalized and mainstreamed.
