Скачать или смотреть James Coburn’s 0.17-Second Draw—Until Steve McQueen Revealed Performer vs Gunfighter

This is the untold story of the intense private moment between James Coburn and Steve McQueen during The
Magnificent Seven filming in 1960. Away from cameras in the Mexican desert, Coburn demonstrated his fluid
0.17-second draw that looked like water flowing. The technique was perfect, artistic, impossible—until
McQueen stepped into the fading light and revealed the terrifying difference between performance and survival.
When McQueen showed Coburn what gunfighting looked like when beauty didn't matter and only results
counted, both men understood they were solving fundamentally different problems. Coburn was perfecting the
art of looking deadly. McQueen was embodying the reality of being lethal. Technique versus necessity,
performance versus survival, art versus death.
Watch how two friends and co-stars discovered that the same tools could serve completely different purposes,
and that authenticity meant understanding which purpose your character required.
