Since well into the second half of the XNUMXth century, Paul Newman and friend Roberto broke the hearts of half the world as the most emblematic leading men of movie stardom. At the moment Brad Pitt is in charge of replicating Redford from the merely physiognomic. Perhaps the Paul Newman thing cannot be compared today.
But we are with Robert and today's entry is about his figure. Sticking to my most personal appreciation, Redford had a greater charm, that more indefinable appeal than Newman's indisputable beauty (to have parked the comparison with Paul I've already returned to him again). The point is that with that special charm of Robert, all his films gained in intensity. Because charm has a lot to do with the personality in front of the camera, with the posture, with the acting gift, with the handling of all gestures... Without a doubt, an actor with capital letters who knew how to take advantage of all his qualities to embroider any character.

Top 3 recommended Robert Redford movies:
two men and one destiny
Tape from 1969. A classic western to be reunited with from time to time. Because in movies like this, acting is everything. A gripping plot that tells the story of two outlaws trying to escape the law. Redford plays the Sundance Kid and Paul Newman plays Butch Cassidy. The antiheroes or villains made heroes from the full conviction that their wild life is the last notion of freedom that the cinema is always in charge of extolling.
AVAILABLE HERE:El golpe
Introduced in 1973. Again the snake charmer tandem to embody two new outsider characters that have won us over from the beginning of the film to live one of those adventures on the edge of the law. It is also a heist comedy that tells the story of two con men trying to con a gangster. Redford plays Hooker and Paul Newman plays Doyle Lonnegan.
AVAILABLE HERE:All the President's Men
Movie where Robert Redford monopolizes all the tension of a suspense plot as few have been scripted. Of course, with that navel point of made in USA cinema to recover his History and give it greater significance. This movie is a political thriller that tells the story of two journalists investigating the Watergate scandal. Redford plays Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman plays Carl Bernstein.
