Even more cool on Blu Ray
Bought from Amazon US and I took a gamble on it.I play my Blu Ray movies on a PS3 with a Sony HD 1080 TV.My PS3 played the movie even though my coding is not Region A and it does say US and Canada only (confused)Moving on.Still looking to purchase a region free blu ray player in Asia when I can afford but was so excited this one run for me, thanks Warner.I was 11 years old when this was produced and first seen the movie in the cinema a few years later.My cinema experiance was on a wet Wed afternoon in the North East of England whilst skipping School at the local Odeon my place of escape as a confused teenager.What a fantastic story, just amazing and I then understood why I was a rebel of some sort who wanted more from Life and was willing to work for it.Romance over, grown up now and can still be a rebel at times.Not sure what the budjet was for this movie and how they even managed to edit it.Must have been a lot of dumped takes.For instance look at the boxing, the low camera angles in the early part of the fight on a Sat afternoon.Luke gets up from another knock down and peers at the ankle chains of a bystander, was that a mistake as later on all were seen to be free.The punch shots in your face, cinema at its best and we are talking the 1960 era here.The acting was fantastic, looks like they all had fun making this one.Wish I could see some out takes also.Before I move to the Blu Ray experiance I would say for one this movie has been underestimated as one of the greats since cinema rolled out the first.Place it in the action/story cat and over the las 50 years this one should be in the top ten if not top five.The movie story justs move on with great directing to a point in a cinema you will never leave your seat for a snack or the bathroom.Pee in the bottle you are holding empty (rebel)and starve as in my case I did not because some kind lady sold me something that used up my bus fare home.What a walk home though, give me time to think my rebel ways were not the way to go even though my Parents in my eyes did not understand me.I asked my Mother for boiled eggs and I think She gave me two fried with chips.Always like a boiled egg after this movie.I had to educate them on how smart I was (later)The blu Ray transforamtion is fantastic, my opinion as I have it on vcd, dvd, vhs.Look at the sweat coming off the guys on blu ray, amazing.The whole blu ray experiance is a must for such a great movie that has probably faded in the history of great movies.All I will say is buy it and you will play this again and again to lets say a visitor aud because you can never be bored with great acting and directing.Have some iced cool drinks on hand also as this will make you feel hot.My two teenage kids just watched it also and asking daddy who is Paul Newman.I told them He is the Brad Pitt of that era and it seemed to have gone down well.Cinemas world wide should have a day when they show epics on a grand scale to give the younger generation a chance to see movie making at its best without the usual digital imposed scenes that we see now.Oh well, I think you will all agree I am an old fart but an old person who loves cinema at its best and has seen the benefits of upscaling to blu ray to view old great movies like this without deleting.Enjoy.

I am continuing to build my collection of hard copy movies thanks to cancel culture and this is one movie I will happily own for a long time.I first watched this movie over ten years ago and this is the first time I’ve seen it since then. I would say watching it through a man’s eyes gives it a whole different perspective.Paul Newman is brilliant as what can only be described as a messianic main character. Along with a fantastic supporting cast they give a brutal look at life on the chain gang.It has its fair share of laughs too so be prepared to be moved uplifted by an all time great.Looked great in 4k too!
Cliente Amazon –
Non posso che dare 5 stelle a questo film cult di Paul Newman, anche se purtroppo in alcuni capitoli del film la lingua passa automaticamente in inglese e non è possibile riconvertirla in italiano. Malgrado questo, rimane pur sempre un grande film (tra l’altro difficile da reperire sui tradizionali canali di vendita). Grazie Amazon!

Der “Unbeugsame” ist einer der besten Paul Newman-Filme, auch wenn er einer der symbolträchtigsten und daher leicht misszuverstehenden ist.Er erzählt die Geschichte von Lukas Jackson, einem eigensinnigen, widerspenstigen Ex-Soldaten, der aufgrund eines lächerlichen Vorfalls für zwei Jahre hinter Gittern kommt und einfach nicht aufhören kann und will, stur, uneinsichtig und freiheitsliebend zu sein, was ihn letztendlich den Kopf, nicht aber seinen Stolz kostet.Der Film ist bis in die kleinsten Rollen hervorragend besetzt und weiss über Schauspielerei, Kameraführung, Landschaftsstimmungen und Storywendungen vollständig zu fesseln. Wer genau hinschaut, erkennt derart viele Parallelen zum neuen Testament, dass schon bald klar ist, dass hier eine bewusste neuzeitlich adaptierte Allegorie geschaffen wurde: Lukas als Rebell, der sich nicht beugen und nicht brechen lässt und mit seinem charismatischen Eigensinn zugleich Anklage erhebt gegen die Starrheit des Systems und die Verlorenheit des Einzelnen darin.Eine Schlüsselszene des Films ereignet sich nach der Fünfzig-Eier-Wette, die als Wunderbringung gedeutet werden kann, denn kurz danach liegt Lukas/Newman in Kruzifix-Manier auf einem Tisch, die Füsse gekreuzt, die Arme von sich gestreckt, ein grinsender Jesus, der mit seiner Wundertat über irdische Grenzen ging und damit eine Jüngerschar um sich versammeln konnte.Folgerichtig, wie es auch im neuen Testamant der Fall ist, wird seine Jüngerschaft später den Glauben an ihn wieder verlieren, und einer, nämlich sein treuest ergebener, wird ihn, als stellvertretender Judas, verraten und ihn damit zum Märtyrer machen.Und zur Legende.Der Unbeugsame: Ein leicht kryptischer, fast epischer Männer-Film in prächtigen Bilder und voller ergreifender Momente.Man sieht, dass beim Dreh ein gute Stimmung geherrscht haben muss. Man riecht das Set förmlich.Was auch in den Extras der DVD erzählt wird.
