The first 20 minutes of the movie follows Gene Hackman

before he strikes at Rich.

And it's like the 1920s in like the absolute frozen tundra

of Alaska.

And contrasts that with most of this movie takes place

on a tropical island in the Bahamas.

But I mean, like in the imagery that we see

in the opening 20 minutes is the imagery of alchemy.

Like we see fire, water, earth, and here the wind,

quite a bit.

But the first thing we see in the movie is

Hackman is fighting with a man and a woman in like, you know,

over like a tent in the middle of nowhere

in like the frozen wastelands of Alaska.

And he screams at them, I don't need partners.

And he says over and over again what

becomes his mantra in this movie that

has repeated over and over again, which is,

I never earned a nickel from another man's sweat.

Yeah.

And it's used, it's used magnificently.

And actually, it really like explodes at you
