The terrain definitely did not have the picture postcard beauty of the Swiss Alps. On the contrary, it was rugged and savage (in one word, ugly, maybe?). Yet some of us would call it very pristine in its beauty. Was the landscape barren? Yes, it was. Yet some of us would like to call it a sun-drenched panorama. There was nobody in sight as far as the eye could see. Wait a moment! Hark! The wind whispers a word in your ears. Did it sound like 'Blondie'?
And then you see a disheveled, delinquent figure strung from the branch of a tree, with a noose around its neck and a wooden prop supporting its trembling legs from below. Now that's a pretty ugly sight in the golden yellow sun-drenched panoramic view that I described earlier, right?
What happens next is a legendary cinematic moment. A bullet whistles through the air and cuts through the noose-chord. The delinquent's body, now free from the noose, plops softly onto the ground. The delinquent is up on his feet immediately and lets out a blood-curdling roar in the general direction of 'Blondie'.
For those of you who have watched 'Wall Street : Money never sleeps' this year, I am sure you would have applauded Eli Wallach's performance as Jules Steinhardt, a top executive and Wall Street patriarch. Eli Wallach turns 95 years old this year and performs in Wall Street with the same energy and enthusiasm that you first saw in his popular role as 'Tuco' in 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'. Ugly is ,without a doubt, most beautiful!
