Bye Chuck.
Now that the sad news of Charlton Hestons passing will bring him back to the front of media attention, maybe this movie will finally see some widespread release.
RIP Chuck, the world is a sadder place now that you've left it.
A career built around playing larger than life heroes ends with a real life villain. Kind of ironic, isn't it?

Irony is that you can be so ignorant and still be able to write.
Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.

More like you came here intending to pay respects to one man and lash out at another for no better reason than you have no life and no redeeming qualities. You are the kind of sad, ridiculous person that requires the ignore user option so that other, better users don't waste their time on you.
No reason? You speak ill of the dead, know nothing about the man and call him a villain? You're a sorry POS who projects his own shortcomings on others. The man did great things for civil rights and other great causes and you call him a villain?
Please, please put me on your ignore list, I consider it an honor in your case.

I stumbled onto this thread and I'm reasonably confident that Darth Bill meant the character Heston was playing, which was Josef Mengele and not Charlton Heston the real life man. It is an irony that Heston's last performance was as a Nazi.
shareIt was very clearly a personal attack on Mr. Heston, made clear by the term "real life villain", an obvious reference to Mr. Hestons association with protecting gun rights.

The character Heston played WAS a real life villain. Dr. Josef Mengele was a sadistic Nazi "experimenter" using "genetic research" as an excuse to subject Jewish children to horrific suffering.
shareTrue, poster should have said "character he played" or something similar instead of leaving it open to interpretation.
Could go either way, with all the vicious attacks Heston received from the "tolerant" folks out there, the intention is as clear as mud, OP should have clarified it.....a few years ago, yet he never did.

I didn't agree with Heston's politics, but never, for instance, would I equate him with Nazis, and Michael Moore in BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE very clearly engaged in an ambush interview with an ailing man. I enjoyed, and continue to, the best of Heston's performances and think it's a true shame too many people look at him as just an NRA gun nut. He was heavily engaged with the Civil Rights Movement, as well, and he had no problem at all with working alongside people whose politics he didn't agree with.
shareMoore did much more than an "ambush interview", he edited the footage and commentary of the Heston/NRA segment to create self serving libtard fiction. But, that's what that fat hypocritical slob does, or used to do, haven't seen any of his hack "documentaries" do well in a very long time.
