Rate: Harry and Tonto


I'm surprised this movie isn't talked about more... I don't care about Oscars or any other awards, but they usually have some influence on the public. Art Carney beat out Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, etc etc... The screenplay won (it's my favorite).

I don't want to load up the sample, but it's my favorite movie ever (and has been the last 2 years), 10/10

So happy you saw it! It gets better every time I see it.. What score would you give it? And did you have a favorite scene, or favorite lines from the screenplay? Thanks!

reply

i cant remember everything exactly,i need to watch it again.
but i liked the ending when he chased the cat and then let go and talk with the girl.
and i felt sad when Tonto died.
i have a cat and cant stand the thought that he'll not be here anymore in a few years...

reply

Yeah, lovely ending... That movie definitely gets better with each viewing. I noticed things about his friend Jakob, and a lot of other things.

a quaint movie but not Oscar worthy

I've seen it a few times. Great movie. I recommended it to a friend.

reply

It's a sweet movie and I think it's Art Carney's best performance. The character had such a kind nature.

I've never seen it. Sounds good, and I'll look for it on Netflix.

If you love cats, you'll definitely love this movie!

(Tonto is the cat)

reply

I do love cats. I love animals in general. It's unusual for a film (or show) to feature a cat, as well as their relationship to a person. I'm looking forward to watching it.

Catbookss, have you seen the reply I left for you on the Rudeness board in response to your reply to Miss Margo's comment about me?

reply

Hi R_Kane, I have seen it, and much appreciate it. I haven't yet replied because it takes more thought to reply to than most other responses. Trust that I will respond, but I am in the midst of a very difficult period in my life, so thoughtful and considered responses take me longer to get around to than the average and easy one-offs.

reply

I hope that life improves for you quickly.

reply

Thank you, R_Kane, I very much appreciate that.
