A harsh film, looking at desperate situations and the human spirit As this is shot in full colour, we see the big open spaces of Utah in shades of ochre, giving a suitable depressive feeling to this harsh film.
It deals in truths without pulling any punches, placing you in plights real people have and still do face. The style of the film and brilliance of the acting puts you with the characters so totally you can taste the pain and feel the despair.
It's so evident, immediately that there are no options but to just let fate take it's course, how cruel life can be.
And what effect can this have on a human heart, can the harshness of life crush it, turn it sour.
Can a man's spirit, honour become infected, can the whole world just be going bad and so a man has no choice but too succumb, this is how Jon Voit's character Jacob justifies the crooked, uncaring path he has chosen to take, but through the brilliance of Newman's acting we see subtle clues to his inner turmoil and guilt.
All the characters are all brilliantly portrayed and it's interesting to see how Jacob's nephew, father and maid products of the same harsh land, are effected by and deal with it's punishing nature.
