Dirty Harry - Blog Posts
Hear that? That's the sound of me giggling.
Just saw Dirty Harry 4K trailer, what a cutie patootie.
Another day, another post about Dirty Harry. In my innermost feelings I tell myself its okay, okay. I don't need to compare it with other 70s thrillers. Im satisfied.
But yknow, I can't help but to. This movie is so different than those Nicholson and Hackman thrillers. Its about exposure. Undoing. Reshaping in the sense of stripping. Stripping away all control revealing nothing but messy vulnerability kept underneath.
The cross scene is loaded with symbolism. However way you want to interpret it, its primal. Humiliating and ever so morbid. Harry's not the one with power this time, and to see him just accepting the abuse? Other rogue cops wishes they're as mentally strong as him
There we go again. Wouldn't say Im obsessed. I haven't even watch the movie. But Im just so crazy about their dynamic.
Bear with me. So personally, Scorpio and Harry are like the guy and the girl in Quentin's Like A Virgin analogy in Reservoir Dogs.
Harry love fucking with criminals, his superiors and the law. They know his mo but they let him do his thing anyway. So he's used to being in control, having power. But then he meets Scorpio and its like the power shifted. Scorpio dug deep where no one has gone before. He makes Harry feel pain again.
Clint's giving me breathing problems man. His movies always have something I liked. I know most people see him as a tough guy but he offered something new everytime, personally. Joe was like a cat, playing with his gun when talking to Silvanito that one time. Harry was playful and occasionally funny. Mcburney was sexy, in every sense of the word. Him getting humiliated in that movie? Wow
I don't think in real life most people like their boss that much. Korean dramas tend to romanticize that type of employer-employee relationsip. I guess other countries' dramas too. If that's your style you know.
Bressler, he doesn't care. All these things about Harry he should find annoying and he didn't. Putting your leg up and dumping your cup on your boss' desk, Harry and Bressler must be close.
Weren't they together after Harry got assaulted by Scorpio anyway? I wasn't aware Bressler was in that scene. I know Harry was talking to someone but I didn't know it be his boss.
So not all of his superiors hate him. This one clearly enjoys his company even though he doesn't openly admit it
Im totally whipped. I love learning these new things about Clint. Anyway, I was thinking about the controversy surrounding Dirty Harry and figured I express why I love this movie.
Its that whole power play thing. I started to be into Harry and Scorpio's dynamic after seeing that scene of Harry walking alone at the park in the dark, holding a bag of money Scorpio requested. Scorpio's probably looking at him the entire time.
The way I see it, Scorpio's the luckier one here. He can do whatever he wants to Harry, and the latter can't do anything about it. Literally and legally. Harry can't sue Scorpio if he does what Scorpio wants willingly.
The best part about the whole thing is Harry's frustration. Like I said before he can't complain if he lets Scorpio do what he wants to him. I just wonder what kind of face he would make if Scorpio did make a move on him.
Its so morbid, that scene in the park. I was surprised they got close to each other as they did. I love that scene, feels like they were the only 2 people in the world
