Reviewer Calls ‘Walking Tall’ Stirring

THE BATTALION

Batt Movie Review
By JULIA JONES
“Walking Tall” is a violent
movie, and it stirs violent feel
ings in people. They either love
it or hate it, but no one is neutral.
Whether you like it or not, and
I did not, it must be commended
for stirring audiences. This is a
step above some current offerings
that are outstanding for nothing.
Emotional impact is its only
virtue. Although it is clear that
the cast and director tried, the
film failed in structure and
script. It has an amateurish

quality that makes it more akin
to home movies than a profes
sional flick. They use an actor,
Joe Don Baker, who certainly
seems Southern enough for this
Southern movie, but he could have
used more emotion in the part.
He used the same expressions for
being beat up as he did for the
love scenes. The film showed
what happened to the people
without showing their reactions.
The story is certainly valid
enough, but it is too realistic. In
real life you rarely see people
display their emotions, but what
will work in real life will not
always work in the flicks. We
need to see emotion in order to
understand why the characters
act as they do.
They have also made the mis
take of filming a tragic scene
about a character they didn’t
spend enough time with. Joe Don
Baker’s wife is killed by the bad
guys. This ordinarily would
wring tears out of the hardest
heart, but only if we are allowed
to know the character. The
movie spends most of the time
with Baker, then asks us to cry
for a stranger. This is too bad
because Elizabeth Hartman is a
fine actress. It would have im
proved the movie if we had seen
more of her.
And speaking of violence, wow,
it had violence! There was a
variety of methods. They used
a club, cars, guns, fists, knives
and other instruments of destruc
tion. Blood can be tiring to
watch, even if part of it is the
rotten, nasty bad guys.
“Walking” is a true story,
which is why many people like
it. It is the story of Buford
Pusser (no kidding) of Tennes
see. That is where it obtains its
emotional impact. This is more
to the credit of the advance pub
licity than to the movie. Most
people know it is a true story
when they go. Pusser is badly
beat up at a crooked “joint.” He
then takes revenge on the crim
inals and is elected sheriff by
the impressed townsmen. And
they should be impressed. Pusser,
or Baker, wields his club in a
lethal fashion. He then runs the
bad guys out of town, while being
assaulted in every imaginable
manner and his wife being mur
dered.
Pusser is now opening up car
shows in the south, and generally
making money on the strength of
his fame.
Many people loved “Walking.”
A movie’s principal goal is to en
tertain, and in this respect it
succeeded for a great number of
people.
