The Ballad of Cable Hogue

Was shortlisting the movie to be watched on my Day of Birth and stopped at TBOCH ( it looks like a slang to me) . It turned out to be a worth watch..

As it turns out to be this is my first attempt to write a structured review ( i also reffered a how to)

I liked the movie spot on from the starting/casting that was done in a nice n clean manner. The movie is based on a Guy's life in a desert and his love for it. I found the name quite intriguing so much as to it took me some time to get the movie and watch under the right circumstances..For the uninitiated the movie gets its name from the protagonist i.e. Cable Hogue

While watching it i was reminded of another movie(maybe quite similar overtly) called Zorba the Greek..

The Character CH is just adorable despite the fact that he's quite stingy and sees no issue in asking a Reverend money for a cuppa water..The closing lines of the movie pretty much sums up the character leaving little to the audience. Jason Roberds's was a wonderful performance and so was David's ( i like his character too)..The landscape chosen was quite nice. I liked the Sound Design of the movie too. The movie was a mix of comedy, very li'l action and butterflying.

The Dialgoues were apt and tastefully written( and seriously funny at times).

Fav Character:CH
Fav Quotes:
Did it ever occur to you, Cable, how wise and bountiful God was to put breasts on a woman? Just the right number in just the right place. Did you ever notice that, Cable?
Citations:
He wasn't really a good man, he wasn't a bad man but Lord he was a man.
He never went to church, he didn't need to, the whole desert was his cathedral.
Hogue loved the desert, loved it deeper then he'd ever say. He built his empire but was man enough to give it up for love when the time came.
Take him Lord...but knowing Cable i suggest you do not take him lightly.

My Rating:8
