The coolest final picture i have ever seen!!
sharewouldn't you freeze if someone did that to you?!
shareIt's a bookend to the beginning of the film. In his last monologue, Jack (Henry Fonda) tells Nobody to make sure that when he's getting a shave at the barber, to make sure the right man is wearing the jacket.
We saw in the beginning that Steve Kanaly was out to kill Jack, and was posing as a barber. Jack puts the gun in his crotch to keep him from killing him, and instead, just gets a shave from Kanaly until the other gang members spring and he kills all three of them.
The barber at the end is obviously the leader of the Wild Bunch (Geoffrey Lewis). So Nobody, who didn't have a gun on him, put the finger there to convince Lewis that he DID have a gun ready to shoot him up the ass if he tried anything stupid.
It was an insurance policy, in case the barber turned out to not be the actual barber, but a killer. In this case, it appears that Nobody was right.
I love to love my Lisa.
Yep. You explained more than me, but maybe not sufficient for the poster of the question to understand. ("see" other posts, if didn't consider that)
If you're listening to that final scene's voiceover Jack tells us he gave Nobody advice to make sure the barber is really the barber by the shirt he wears. Just like from the first scene. In this case Nobody.either doesn't have his pistol or is up to his usual prank and uses his finger instead. Classic
shareUnlikely that Mr. Nobody doesn't have a gun (as portrayed, because there is no reality for any film), but he's affirming (in a subtle, humorous way) to the barber "not to cut too deep."
It was a "stand-in" for holding a gun to the barber. In other words: "You cannot kill me. I will respond!"
He's NOT threatning to shoot off 'the barber's' ass - He's pointing slightly more forward.
Though - with a cal. .45" - the result would be the same
