Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview

I have always been a big fan of Burt Reynolds from "Smokey and The Bandit", to "The Cannon Ball Run" This was the icing on the cake to see and hear a living legend. Excellent Documentary from start to finish, the film gives a authentic view of Burt and was shot in a way to keep you interested the entire time. To be able to see the last interview of Burt meant a lot as views always change throughout the years, and his career has been unbelievable with all his different films, the one that.stands out to me is " Deliverance" absolutely spectacular. This documentary is Fantastic and I give it 2 thumbs up!!

Burt Reynolds shines luminously in this beautiful tribute that will captivate both his fans, cinephiles, and anyone with a heart. With an unguarded authenticity, Reynolds reveals a vulnerability that offers a fresh and intimate perspective into his illustrious life. The film showcases his enduring passion for filmmaking, his monumental contributions to cinema, and his dedication to nurturing young talent through his school. A particularly enlightening segment features a candid conversation with Quentin Tarantino, highlighting their deep and profound connection. This isn't merely a retrospective; it's a heartwarming celebration of Burt Reynolds' indomitable spirit, his love for the arts, and the legacy he leaves behind.

This documentary delves beyond the superficial layer of Burt Reynolds, unveiling the person behind the Hollywood facade. It showcases his full humanity, providing an intimate look at the actual individual he was, separate from the Hollywood system. The film also captures an authentic side of Hollywood that can motivate others in the industry to bring heart to their work. Rick Pamplin's approach enhances our connection to admired figures in the industry, and he has accomplished this in his documentary, making it an exceptional experience to witness.

Also, I appreciated the way the documentary made it feel as though we were in the same room with Burt Reynolds. It created an opportunity to feel a connection with him, as if we were getting to know him on a very personal level. It almost felt like I had spent time with Burt Reynolds after watching this documentary.

Burt Reynolds gets a nice sendoff with "Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview". Burt is really cool in this movie. He was flattered but many of the questions and you can see it in his face. This movie gives the respect that Burt deserves but seldom gets. When the interviewer twice compares Burt Reynolds and his legacy to that of John Wayne's, you can see the appreciation in Burt's eyes. It's great stuff. I'm not the biggest fan of Quentin Tarantino (far from it) but the stuff he says about working with Burt for a few weeks before he died is really nice too. "Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview" is a must watch for fans of Burt, like me.

This is a film of Burt Reynolds talking unscripted, that gives you a clear vision of WHO this man really was. You'll have laughs and moments of tears. Unfortunately when you put yourself out there as a movie star, people will make attempts to bring you down. Burt Reynolds was a man with a very big heart and loved to help others. It was very interesting to listen to others (like Quentin Tarantino) who knew Burt, talk about him as they truly knew him. This film was very well done which included people who were very close to...the real Burt Reynolds. This is a documentary that my wife and I will be watching again.
