VHS Movie Reviews of Lonely Are the Brave

Movie Review: Kirk Douglas thought this film was his best
Summary: 5 Stars

'Lonely are the Brave' was the film that Kirk Douglas, himself, regards as his favorite. No, it's not a big Hollywood flash like 'Spartacus' but it is the subtle and tragic rendention of a time and life style already gone. It's a tale of the passing of the old West and the disappearance of men--independent men--who couldn't or wouldn't change.

Douglas--Jack Burns--in the film is a man intolerant of rules, fences and civilization. He's a cowboy with an ideology. His sense of honor is antequated, perhaps, but all the more powerful because of it. In the interest of freedom he makes a series of preventable and deliberate mistakes. He breaks into jail to save an old friend, only to find that his friend doesn't want saving. Burns then breaks out of jail to be pursued across the desert and into the mountains by all the modern police contraptions.

Burns, of course, is doomed by both fate and history and we realize, long before the heartrending conclusion, that he will fail. The old West is gone and, more importantly, modern mass society crushes anyone truly independent. We weep for Burns the same as we weep for ourselves.

Ron Braithwaite, author of novels--"Skull Rack" and "Hummingbird God"--on the Spanish Conquest of Mexico
