"Moving Pictures: An Autobiography" by Ali MacGraw
Did not know where she went after Love Story so this was amazingly fascinating. Her life now in Santa Fe is definitely better than her life as an actress, even in its biggest moments through the early 70s! I'm so happy that she's seemed to find so much peace with herself.
Agree!
Her husband Steve McQueen didn't want her to act anymore, so she actually quit -- she starred in a total of 5 films in her career
❤ Fritz -- thank you for this important video essay on a film that captured the decade. And our eternal Ali MacGraw.
Thanks so much for watching!
Nie wszystkie opinie muszą być podobne, bo jestasmy różni.Ogladałam ten film, gdy miałam 30 lat , a mam 80 lat i uważam, że aktorzy wspaniale odegrali swoje role . To jest najwspanialszy film - zwlaszcza główni bohaterowie filmu są świetnie dobrani .To jest klasyka przy dzisiejszych filmach ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤍♥️🇵🇱🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷
Of course! It would be very boring if we all had the same opinions
😅 And to interpret...Love 💞 means never having to say you're sorry... If communication and respect is strong enough between two people any omissions or transgressions are immediately understood and are forgiven, without words.
Think Ms. MacGraw is at her best in "Just Tell Me What You Want." Love that you included footage from her interview wherein, in a very beguiling manner, she discusses filming "Dynasty."
Chi non Apprezza il Filmato LOVE STORY ❤ non ha MAI Amato Una Volta Nella Sua VİTA
Sooo exciting to see Fritz's take on Ali MacGraw and her pop-culture camp role. She was so well cast in this role, cause the character is just a girl. Can't wait for Glenda's turn. She is amazing.
This was wonderful.
Thanks so much!
The movie had success due to 50/60 precent of the music!
The music gets to you,despite not being my type,is a great song.
The godfather was a masterpeice but also due to the stunning music.
All great movies had great music,like Game of thrones nowadays,50precent du e to music.
I was into Twin peaks,the music had a major impact!
If the music wasnt on this movie,not sure,if was a major success!
the public has loved her since her Poloroid Swinger ad campaign ("it's more than a camera, it's almost alive! It's only nineteen dollars and 95!"). That's how I would describe her: lovable.
Yes, she is extremely charming, also in all her interviews
That clip at the beginning makes me think that maybe Ali MacGraw doesn’t know subtitles are a thing
🤣
Ugh I’ve been waiting for this so muchhh
I hope you'll like it!
Alı MacGraw ❤ BELLISSIMA immagine Da GRANDE ARTİSTA ❤👍🌹🌹💯
I love the movie Love Story it was beautiful but also sad with Ryan O
LOVE STORY ❤ Trieste Ma Presente In Molte Famiglie ❤ ha Raccontato Una Vita ❤️ Di cose Accadute ❤❤
Simplesmente,Maravilhoso!!!a Netflix devia mostrar Novamente.
I understand all your reservations, yet I can watch this film on a Sunday afternoon when flipping channels and find myself crying. Whatever its shortcomings, it succeeds on an emotional (some would say emotionally manipulative) level. And she is gorgeous, although more so in "Goodbye Columbus."
Yes, totally, that's what I mean when I said "It is easy to watch"; there is no complexity, you can just enjoy it and then cry your eyes out; on that level, the movie succeeds but I still don't think this means that it's good
IF you wish to watch a REAL GENUINE MOVIE with excellent acting - TRY RANDOM HARVEST - you will cry your eyes out for believable acting!
Every time you release the video it’s like Christmas! LOL I learned more about Ali MacGraw in the video than I ever knew. Steve McQueen or not I don’t know how successful she would’ve been. I’ve always been a big fan of her but it nagged me to know that she was not a good actress. I thought convoy was a really good movie
Thank you so much! I'm very happy that enjoy these little videos
Your presentations are too well researched for you not be aware of the classic put down by Pauline Kael of Ms. MacGraw as a proponent of the "flared nostril school of acting." Since I saw your program on Luise Rainer I have become fairly obsessed with your fascinating shows. I googled you but only found crumbs online. Too bad there isn't extra funds to hire a private detective to investigate you in Germany. In this episode I was particularly fond of the rundown of reasons by you of all the reasons "Love Story" is not your kind of movie. Signed, Your Fan in Los Angeles
Thanks, I am glad you enjoy the videos! I don't think you need a private detective though 😀
@@FritzandtheOscars Curious about your affinity for the movies, what brought you there, how you live (in general), what else you do, other projects, etc. Found almost nothing to round out the picture. It's because I find your work intelligent and insightful which sparks the curiosity. Imagine in film terms, you come across a performance which is adept and beguiling but there is not information on the individual...not even which part of a country they live. It is like that. Maybe you can direct me. So you see why the mind turns fancifully to a Private Eye---trench coat, Humphrey Bogart-style hat, hard soled shoes which click against the pavement and possibly with dangling cigarette...
haha, thanks a lot, I don't think my work is so intelligent but I'm very grateful for you saying so. There is not a lot, I don't have any projects or anything like this. I used to blog (It's still online, but not active, just google Fritz and the Oscars) and I'm on Twitter. I only make these videos as a hobby, it's not a business for me
Fritz, this is a brilliant analysis of one of my favorite movies of all time. You capture so much of the essence of Glenda and the character Gudrun. I am puzzled, however, about all the talk about her being unattractive, in the press at the time and it seemed at times in your view, though you stated otherwise toward the end of the video. Of course, attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. Apparently she herself didn't think she was attractive. I don't agree with those who see her as the unequivocal star of this movie. It is great ensemble acting from all four actors, with Ken Russell being the true master in this, his best work. The most interesting question about Glenda Jackson is why she left acting, which she had been so devoted to. I respected her choice, but have always felt a loss for what we may have missed.
Thanks a lot for your comment! I personally consider Glenda highly attractive, I'm sorry if that was not clear - what I wanted to show was just how she was seen by the press and the public (as very unattractive)
Dear Fritz, we are really enjoying this retrospective of 1970 best actress nominees but we can't find Parts 6 and 7 (Glenda Jackson + your final comments. The playlist you mentioned does not seem to exist. We are on the edge of our seats with suspense!
Hello! I actually have not published the Glenda video yet, I am still working on that. Moving forward, I will not publish all the videos at the same time but one by one. Thanks for making me aware that there seems to be a problem with the link to the playlist, I'll fix that
It looks like I got my comment below about Glenda Jackson under the wrong movie
I can’t explain how much I hated Love Story, however, the casting was a major part of its success
While standing in a long queue at an Upper East side coffee shop she came in and marched to the front and ordered. After I spoke up she looked at me with dead eyes and arrogantly said "I'm Alli MacGraw" as if we were in the presence of royalty and we should care, to which I replied" "That's nice, I'm "x " still no excuse, we all have things to do and places to be. "
She was offended but had no intention of waiting with plebs, ordered her coffee and stomped out.
Ha Fatto BENE ha trattarti In Modo Sgarbato Ali MacGraw E Una GRANDE ARTİSTA ❤️👍
Omg very disappointed to hear
I pray she finds God
I'm the first viewer! So looking forward to this.
Even better than l expected! So informative about Ali's career, and spot-on as to why she didn't pose any serious opposition to Glenda Jackson that year.
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked it!
21:37 Haha, did you see/hear critics railing at Jacqueline Susann for Valley of the Dolls? Sorry sir, you sound just like 'em. Why be Scrooge at a Christmas party? Let Love Sfory be what it is.
I think I let it be what it wants to be? It's just not for me and I think I'm allowed to express that?
I watched this in 1970 when I was 21 and frankly her character was slightly annoying the whole way. She was pretty snotty, too. I didn't buy that she was dying at all. The movie was ok, that's it. I still don't understand why it drew so many accolades. And love means never saying you're sorry? That's what narcissists say during devaluation stage! 😮 She does seem like a genuinely nice person. I wish the best for her. Thanks again!
Sono sconvolta x la Critica
Thanks for ruining Love Story for me Fritz !
Fritz- YOU nailed it! Sweet of you to try to find something kind to say about this horrid movie and acting!
That shotgun reading voice....
That's me
McGraw should have stayed a model.
I know, I know, I'm in the minority. I hated "Love Story". It was totally overated. Ali Mcgraw was a total bore. Being married to Bob Evans was certainly an asset. Even when she did "Winds of War" for television, I still found her a bore. That's just my taste. She's certainly no Streep or Close.
Ali MacGraw ❤Ha Impersonato Magistralmente il Personaggio Indiscutibile Nel FİLMATO ❤ LOVE STORY ❤ Perfetta Interprete Insostituibile ❤❤❤
She should have won!!!!!
You can probably guess from my review that I am not a big fan of this performance but acting is subjective and I'm glad that you like her so much
@@FritzandtheOscars she’s like a beautiful Luise Rainer, unappreciated, beautiful actor, and largely not liked.
@@FritzandtheOscars Fritz YOU NAILED IT - a high school amateur theatre INDEED!!!
The nonsensical storyline that "Love means never having to say you're sorry" is RIDICULOUS!
Thank God above that she didn't win! She's DREADFUL and should have stuck with modeling and her mouth clasped shut!
Im proud to say..even as a tenager at the time: I never saw it! LOL. 2 commercial actors with no depth..and that stupid song.
Much that you tag Ali for seems more of poor directing - also e.g when death nears, makeup lacks. Top production with a top-drawer director may well have made her stronger in this role.
very possible but even then, I'm not sure if her lack of experience could have made a bigger impace
I wish you would not ramble on. You spend to much time on a bad movie. The three actors Oscar nominated should not have been. Ray Milland was better. I would have just focused on how bad McGraw's performance was.
Rambling is all i can...
@@FritzandtheOscars Never stop ''rambling''...
That movie was so banal…it reeked of soppy soap suds..
Oh hey, I hate this movie :D
