Must GO
This is the BEST Tarzan Movie ever.
There’s a moment in David Yates’ excellent and emotionally resonant Legend of Tarzan when George Washington Williams’, played by Samuel L. Jackson, goads civilized Tarzan, played by Alexander Skarsgard, just a little too much. Alexander Skarsgard’s Tarzan erupts instantly and spectacularly with a combination of physical force and gut-chilling animal sounds and pins the American to a wall, then growls out the words: “They have my wife, and their families.” In this single small moment, Yates and Skarsgard put on display Tarzan’s utter commitment to the woman he loves while at the same time evoking the internal contradiction of a man who in adulthood could pass among society as an aristocratic Englishman, but whose feral upbringing has left him with a volatile beast within that can overwhelm the civilized trappings in an instant.
This is not an action movie in the vein of Captain America or any of the modern action movies. It is a story. A very well told story of adventure driven by the love of a man for his mate. Jane is beautiful and when she smiles the screen explodes with light.
Was George Washington Williams (Samuel L Jackson) a real person? The ‘legend of Tarzan’ character has a fascinating history. You MUST “google him”!
Christoph Waltz (Captain Ron) is his usual slime bucket self who really gets what he deserves. Captain Rom, another historical figure, was known to keep severed heads of Black Africans in his flower beds – mind the petunias.
This is a spectacular movie, you really must go see this one.
