A good documentary on an extremely talented and extremely troubled man. His penchant for well written monologues is legendary and had many clamoring to him for rewrites. He was also paranoid and pretty much an asshole. Some call it blacklisting but really he just wore on too many people's nerves with his antics. Brandishing a pistol in meetings on multiple occasions doesn't exactly win you opportunities to work. Even with that he still has many fans and friends and it makes this entertaining.

I learned that milius is a gun-toting cartoon character ala yosemite sam except that he's also a marvellous writer/director. if there's more to learn about the man, it wasn't really in here, but it's overall still a good documentary.

Just some nice storytelling and cigar smoke coming from white-haired veterans of arguably the most important era in American film history, and worth throwing on sometime if you like classic movies, as you really get to finally see just how massive John Milius' largely unknown contribution was to the seminal classics of New Hollywood, specifically the work of its biggest giants.

A serviceable if formulaic doc on a Hollywood legend.

So-so documentary about John Milius, the gun toting New Hollywood writer/director whose politics were diametrically opposed to those of his contemporaries. But despite his claims, an overview of his career does not suggest he was blacklisted solely for his politics; with the exception of Dillinger and Conan, he never made any hits, and while he made important contributions to many big films, they were ultimately not his work. The myth of Milius is more interesting than the reality of him.
