"Mahler," part 5.
Times are approximate.
3:42 If you can't drown him, then paralyze him. What we can presume. An inexperienced rider riding at a gallop bareback on a horse. Not good Ken. Even an experienced horseman, such as Christopher Reeve, riding a saddled horse can have a fall that causes paralysis. Of course, it may not be Young Gustav (Gary Rich) in that scene, as we never really see his face. Still, I know enough about horses, to know that it is not good for the horse to have nothing, not even a blanket, between the rider and the horse.
5:32 Alma Mahler (Georgina Hale) Outside of this film, I really don't know much about Mahler. I don't know how his biographers feel about him. I don't even know yet how Ken feels about him. But I am developing, through this film, some sympathy for Alma. Mahler must not have been easy to live with, let alone be married to.
8:57 Is this the first time that a person of black descent has appeared in one of Ken's films? I can't remember them being that prevalent in Ken's films except for "Tommy" and "Whore."
