Maltese Falcon 1941
Ok… I get it… this isn’t serious this is just box office entertainment. Oceans 11, lethal weapon, die hard - Bogart is boring but I get it - he’s super cool much like the leads in the films above.
The plot is extreme and this isn’t a masterpiece by any means but more of just pop film. It had to inspire every leading man and detective show after the fact.
Top side it could be closer to something more cutting edge - but I don’t have context to it *read about originality of this film
Rating 6.1/10
First Bogart film for me and I get it. He’s the OG of broody masculine charismatic leads - Rhett butler was way different imo. The music and lighting are beyond me for context and creativity because I don’t know the period.
