Sometimes a Great Notion (1970)
I read a trivia question the other day, asking what was the most dangerous job in the world, or something to that effect. It was a multiple choice question, and I instantly picked the correct answer, because I’d seen the movie Sometimes a Great Notion.
This Paul Newman movie is about a bunch of men known as loggers. They chop down enormous, mighty trees for a living. Environmentalists, feel free to skip this movie. The movie alternates between extremely long, boring scenes of tree chopping, and a family quarrel. Paul Newman and Henry Fonda disagree on how to run the family business, and Lee Remick is bored being left home alone all the time, and Michael Sarrazin, the wayward brother, comes home to really make a mess of things! All in all, it’s an advertisement to not be a logger. Chopping down trees is extremely dangerous, and it’ll make your unhappy wife take notice of your brother.
It’s a little boring, in a 1970s way, but it’s not the worst movie in the world. I just hope they didn’t chop down a bunch of real trees during the making of the movie, but the scenes looked so lifelike, I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
