| Rob Roy Jahr: 1995 Regisseur: - Michael Caton-Jones Schauspieler/Schauspielerinnen: - Liam Neeson - Jessica Lange Der Film ist gut aber die DVD unter aller Sau Es gibt genau 2 punkte die mich an dieser DVD stören 1. Nicht anamorph, 16zu9 besitzer müssen zoomen im das richtige bildformat zu bekommen, die qualität geht dabei zum teufel 2. Der Film ist Cut!!!! dank der BBFC fehlen etwa 24 sekunden, übrigends die deutsche ist auch cut!! Cuts were to the rape scene. MGM released the<BR>same disc in all R2/R4 countries, so no uncut PAL<BR>versions exist. Die einzige uncut version dieses films auf dvd ist die RC1 aus USA und die ist sogar anamorph!! schöne Landschaftsbilder als Schotte hat mir Mel Gibson zwar besser gefallen, aber Liam Neeson macht seine Sache auch recht gut, aber die Krönung ist natürlich Tim Roth, der etliche gute Filme gemacht hat und doch so wenig bekannt ist. Als Schottlandliebhaber gefielen mir natürlich besonders die Landschaftsaufnahmen. Leider keine Extras. Scotland's Robin Hood in rustic, lyrical tones. Popular heroes make for great movies - this adage has held true since the days of Douglas Fairbanks's "Mark of Zorro" (1920) and "Robin Hood" (1922), and Errol Flynn's representation of the legendary Robin of Locksley 16 years later ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," 1938), and it has been reinforced again and again throughout the years. And whenever we go to see yet another screen version of the life of such a hero, regardless whether based on historic fact or popular lore, we carry certain almost instinctive expectations: the hero is to be honorable and his true love virtuous, there is to be a truly evil villain, and an abundance of sword play and other action. "Rob Roy" delivers on all of these counts; yet, it manages to be much more than a colorful costume piece with a storyline in Schwarz and white, and it differs considerably from the type of movie coined ever since the adventures of history's great heroes were first brought to the silver screen. To begin with, Liam Neeson, in the title role, is not the slim, agile hero with lightning-quick, supple movements we have come to expect after having seen leading men such as Fairbanks, Flynn, Robert Taylor ("Ivanhoe," 1952) - and, for that matter, Richard Todd, who portrayed Robert Roy McGregor in the 1953 movie version of this story, after having played the lead in Disney's version of "Robin Hood" a year earlier. No: here, the part of the dazzling and deadly fencing champion goes to Tim Roth, who has the calculating, conceited, Blonde-wigged henchman Archibald Cunningham down to absolute perfection - you just love to hate him; yet, he never becomes the embodiment of an ueber villain, and it is his utter fallibility as a human being which makes him all the more evil and despicable. The face-offs between Roth and Neeson (particularly their final duel) almost have something of an inverse David vs. Goliath feeling; making Neeson's much taller McGregor look occasionally more than just a bit disadvantaged vis-a-vis the cat-like Cunningham. Here is a hero whose greatest asset, in fencing as in other encounters with an enemy, is not his speed but his intelligence, his strength, and most of all, his undying tenacity. Similarly, the love story between McGregor and wife Mary (Jessica Lange) is not one between two young lovers: the movie finds the couple well-settled into their marriage with several young sons. Yet, they are deeply in love, a feeling which is only reinforced by the trials and tribulations they have to overcome. The portrayal of proud Mary McGregor, unbending even in utter disgrace, is one of Jessica Lange's strongest performances careerwide, a match to Neeson's McGregor in acting skill as much as in tone, emotion and courage.
