Awesome Movie

I watched recently this movie on the net because i saw it was a movie from Clint Eastwood so it gave me the envy to watch it.At the beginning you can see a pretty young girl called "Breezy "which means careless and free like the wind and she hitchhikes and has a ride with a perverted man only interested by sex..she fortunately escapes and runs and eventually gets into the car of a middle aged man,William holden who is 30 years her senior and reluctantly consents to take her for a ride which will be very long..Actually everything in the movie is made to make us believe in a love story but it isn't.This story has nothing of a love story.It is the lust and sexual attraction of a 50 years old man for a teenager who could be his daughter because they are completely opposite. Mr holden is tired but he is mature and caretaker whereas Breezy is young and very demanding and sometimes irritating. I cannot believe in this love between two people that everything separate,their age,their background and education.Breezy is the symbol of the lost and stoned young girl product of the hippie years who needs sex and new experiments but the script is non consistent and the music is typically 70's as well.I disliked this movie as you can see because it is a lust movie and i 'm not certain that this love will last.Clint Eastwood started as a producer back then but he made better movies since.

What was America like for a young woman in 1973 ? If this is the question on your mind then Breezy is the perfect film which can provide all the right answers. For those who claim to be experts, it needs to be told that its impact on American cinema is absolutely immense as it continues to be an honest reflection of the spirit of those 1970s carefree moments. What makes 'Breezy' important is that it is not known by many viewers even in USA. This has somewhat given it a kind of 'cult' film status. American actress Kay Lenz is absolutely perfect in her role as Breezy, a young woman who is not sure if she has found the right man in her life. It is remarkable to see how her 'happy go lucky' persona gets rid of many prevalent taboos namely an old man enjoying the company of a young lady as girl friend. While making Breezy, director Clint Eastwood proved that he is no Alfred Hitchcock by not appearing in a cameo role in his own film. However, Mr. Eastwood could not resist the temptation of paying a 'homage' to his own 'larger than life' personality by showing one of his films being played in a cinema where this film's actors go to watch a movie.

Breezy (1973)Never mind the Clint Eastwood penchant for having old men sleep with young women. This is a fairly nuanced story about exactly that problem—and it's a problem on one level or another when two people fall in love who are very different in age.It also helps that veteran, 54 year old actor William Holden pulls off a delicate, charming, perfectly grumpy performance as the older guy—someone with a beautiful house in the hills near Hollywood, but where he won't be found floating dead in the pool at the end, or the beginning. Yes, this is the Holden of "Sunset Blvd." It feels odd to remind people (some of you) about an actor who was once, briefly, both a screen idol and an box office success. His rocky career never quite reached its intended peak, but there are some really fine roles he took on with surprising ease and sincerity. This is one of them.The young woman in this case is Kay Lenz, a little known actress (19 at the time) with some television and a tiny part in "American Graffiti" under her belt before the director pulled her in for this role, which fits her like a glove. The very naive purity of the character is exactly what this actress seems to actually have in excess. When she meets Holden early in the film, they are exactly opposites—except that they are both deep down very kind. And so the differences become ways to learn and grow— especially for the old man, who doesn't quite get the hippie mentality for its better sides.The plot actually fits into a few clichés a little too easily, and overall it's a bit simple. The details around the couple—her friends and his—are tossed in like peanuts on the ice cream, and the movie is worse for it. Holden is meant to struggle with being, on the surface, a kind of child molester, but it is carried only in his face, not in the external conversations. (Luckily this is enough.) The utter naiveté of Lenz's girl, named Breezy, leaves us with less to do inside her head, which is too bad because she seems smart and street smart, both. There was more here by far than gets plumbed.Another aspect that makes this worth watching is the feeling of 1970 or so in the overall scenario. (The movie was filmed in 1972 but the hippies, and the clash of cultures, feels a couple years earlier.) Unlike some movies where the mis-en-scene feels timeless from this New Hollywood period ("Five Easy Pieces" perhaps), this movie is particularly dated, and that might be a good thing. It's so much about the era, and a product of it, that is drips with symbols from the time. It also drips with sappy folk-rock music for a soundtrack, which is a product of the time and of Eastwood's lifelong attempt to make music in his movies pull from "real music" including his own compositions. It's a distraction here.Despite all the gaffes and shortcomings, "Breezy" is really worth watching for all that works, especially the shimmering, contrasting main characters.

I read the bad reviews that mock the age difference "Holden looks mid 60s" etc...I wasn't going to watch it but did. I liked the movie. I thought yes we must suspend disbelief....but getting on to my 60s myself I don't see anything wrong with these movies if well done.Why pop every balloon? I did not particularly care for the character Breezy she was not good looking vaguely obnoxious and too period hippie but it was well acted well filmed and enjoyable. The hippie stuff is dated and was a dead end alley pretty much but not all of it was bad. Going into this thinking I would hate the thing and liking it had a healing effect of sorts.I was Breezy's age when this thing was made so it was a nostalgic trip as well.RECOMMEND
