Of-course, decades ago when I saw the movie Up, Close, and Personal and heard the song "because you loved me" not in my wildest dream I thought it would turn out to be a song for Max who wasn't born at that time.
Every time I hear this song, I cry, I smile, my heart fills with gratitude and how god damn lucky I am to have met and shared 13 years of my life on this planet with Max.
That movie increased my respect for journalism to keep and make the world a better place (and Fox News and co ruined it years later)
Redford is one of my all time favorite actors plus one of my favorite human beings (trust me, it’s not a big list).
When I came to the US in the 90's, like a maniac I watched so many old movies - all movies of Jimmy Stewart, Robert Redford etc. They don't make movies like that anymore. These movies teach about values in life, morals and how to live a good life being a good living being,
Every few years, I rewatch the movie Spy Game. I dunno why I love it, maybe it's because Max and I watched it together when Max was a puppy. The last scene when waves goodbye to the CIA security guard and drives off in his Porsche was so stylish.
Sir, thank you for teaching me your subtle style, your generous heart, and just plain how to be a grounded human being even with all the fame and money.
Max and I thank you for our hearts !
You made a little better human being through your life and movies.
US acting legend Redford, best known for roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, has died at the age of 89.
In a statement, his publicist Cindi Berger, said: "Robert Redford passed away on September 16 at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah - the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved. He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy."
