Agreed, point break was the climax of these two actors career. I can only imagine acting along side Busey. The subtle interplay of Johnny Utah's conflict with himself and Bodie as the id and spirit of all that is free, male, and savage yet beautiful in the world. You can't help but feel for Bodie like one would a caged lion pacing the cage knowing what true freedom is. Johnny on the other hand is at war with his want to be this way but deals with the cage of responsibility and duty in his own way. Both though are connected in their love of surfing as it is the only pure thing without moral weight they share. Personally I think this movie was not celebrated as it should have been. Yes the surfing sequences are breathtaking as well as the sky diving and swayze's good looks certainly steal the show. Yet the deeper philosophy and conflict with the animal which lives in us all was really never discussed. I hope the remake explores these taboo themes as well as develops the characters to their full following fruition.
Roadhouse remake rumors floating around... featuring Ronda Rousey. You read that right, she's going to crush it. A couple guys at work started whining that she wouldn't fit the roll. Because Swayze was a badass or something? WTF? You can have a legitimate argument about Swayze as greatest male ballerina, greatest 80s feathered bangs, greatest creepy dead stalker, but badass? Dicey.
Swimmy does hold something in the mind and hearts of many. As a blanket statement, guys take the time and energy to post a reply saying they dont like swimmy's threads or posts. Knowing they could utilize the ignore feature, it appears they are drawn like a big brown to his streamer....they just cant resist or stay away. He hooks em and then they are free to go. A few SUCKERS too!
Yeah, back when Ed was Mumbles he was basically Swimmy on steroids. Without the fashion, the lulzes or the memes. Or the plethora of nice photo's and reports from Montana. I kinda miss Mumbles though.
