So, this afternoon I'm watching the coverage of Hackman's sudden and strange passing at age 95. I check out all three of the major networks. And none of them had the balls to mention The Conversation. God forbid they mention the one where he plays a wire tapper (and a brilliant, prophetic treatise from Coppola on society.) So, you'll forgive me if this post is a little angry in tone but any conversation (ha ha) about Hackman should always include if not begin with this seminal performance, one of the most accomplished in all of cinema. THEN, watch your Unforgiven, French Connection, Firm, etc. 5 stars/5
