The fourth and final post


That sounds daunting, doesn't it? It makes me think that the semester is almost over, but do not fear because we have two more papers due! Not that bad though. I've been writing about Sarsaparilla and it's relevance to Sam Elliot as the Stranger in the movie. In the Special Features of the 10th Anniversary Edition of the movie, the Coen brothers even say that they have no idea what Sam Elliot is doing in the movie. They claim that they like how low the register of his voice goes. I think that this definitely contributes to the sense of masculinity that they wanted to convey in the Stranger's character. I think it's hysterical that the directors of the film can't even say why Sam Elliot is in the movie. They also mention that the fact that Sam Elliot has a huge mustache helps in the movie because they can kind of alter his lines since you can't really see his mouth very defined.
