    Duel (1971) Monster Analysis
    The Debut film of non other than Steven Spielberg, adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson who got the idea for the film when he was driving home and a large truck was tailgating him. It was originally intended to be a TV movie, and it was, even aired on TV, but ended up being a theatrical release after universal requested that Spielberg shoot additional scenes to make it a 90 minute feature.
    I first seen this movie when I was around 10, caught it on TV late one night after I snuck downstairs when my parents were in bed. I was glued the entire way through. Dennis Weaver gives a stellar performance that evokes so much paranoia and confusion. The monster of the show is the truck. It was always its own character, yes we do see there is someone driving it but I prefer to think the menacing threat is the truck itself, not the psycho driving it. Plus it just looks so damn cool!
    Cannot recommend this title enough, get a copy or watch it on whatever streaming service you use, it's a gripping watch.
    Also need to give a shout out to CJ Burnett, he's a guy that creates music for a genre I discovered a few years back called 'New Retro Wave'. He kindly gave me permission to use his track 'Joy Ride' in this episode of Monster Analysis, show him some love and go check him out cjburnett.bandcamp.com/
    Stay Awesome guys

      This film was very much like a Twilight Zone episode-the unusual camera angles, a character in isolation, an unseen pursuer. Spielberg himself has a cameo standing outside the phone booth at the snakerama. QUESTIONS-1. WHY was Mann driving to a business meeting all across the desert at the last minute? Why wouldnt he have taken a plane a week earlier to San Francisco?2-Aren't the Manns too old to be parents of little kids? (their grandkids? My theory). 3. The Jungle? Are we to assume Mann served in the Phillippines in World War 2? (he's too old to have been in Vietnam). Wouldn't he be alot more street smart, tougher if he was a war veteran?

    I watched this movie as a kid in the mid 2000s (My family has the DVD of this movie). So I wasn’t in the era this movie was made. Yet this movie is a masterpiece. It’s so simple yet intense and realistic. Genuinely terrifying at parts. I’ve been on drives and motorcycle rides on smaller roads away from populated areas and have had some drivers try to run me off the road or get me to crash. And those situations remind me of this movie. Fantastic film.

      That was no simple looking semi rig. Spielberg intentionally went out of his way to find an old sinister looking truck. I believe it is a 1950s model. It looks scary just sitting still on the road, regardless of camera angle. He could use the same camera shots on a new Tesla semi truck and it would NEVER look as menacing as that old diesel brute did.

    Fun Fact: The man playing the 'psycho truck driver' was one of the industry's best stuntmen of the time - Carey Loftin. Amongst the films he worked on or supervised the stunt action were: Magnum Force, French Connection, Mission Impossible (TV Series), Bullitt, Point Blank, Bonnie and Clyde, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Great Escape to name a few!! In all he worked on 380 films as either a Stuntman or stunt coordinator and a further 112 films as a cameo (usually a truck driver). You do see him once in Duel. He was actually one of the drinkers at the bar. He was the one that looks over at Dennis Weaver's character menacingly. If you type Carey Loftin into Google images it comes up with a picture of him in the film!!

    Steven Spielberg said Jaws was a sequel to Duel because both films are about these mysterious killers preying on everyday people. As a young man working at Universal he got to see some Alfred Hitchcock films being made and you can easily see Spielberg took notes on how to build suspense from the master himself.

    Steven Spielberg's debut film today is the prime example for every director and producer on how to make an independent Hollywood-style suspense thriller with minimalist elements with a small budget and film crew. All you need is a good and unique idea, usually inspired by events and stories in real life, such as in Duel's case. I also like the new music tracks added to this remastered version. It adds a special flavor. Kevin MacLeod in particular is a great composer for licensed music!

      This is viewer manipulation at its most unfettered, just as Columbo was. No wonder this is from the same time as the original Columbo, and Spielberg even directed the second regular Columbo episode, first to be aired after the pilots. Just as in Columbo the theoretically "watertight" crime is thwarted by the culprit´s own stupidity, and the viewer is cheated into accepting the whole scam because he KNOWS that the criminal is guilty since he SAW it doing it, "Duel" exploits the viewer by submersing him in a fake "inevitability" situation, just as if the car driver just HAD to keep on chugging down the road IN EVER THE SAME DIRECTION instead of phoning home, the police, and whomever was waiting for him for doing business, calling it quits, and going back home. We are forced to believe this is some sort of Via Crucis that the victim just MUST go along no matter what!

    Even though he killed the truck driver, he was still stuck out there with no car, no way to call his family in the dark. On top of that I'm reasonably sure he lost his client and probably his job, and when he does get home, his wife probably won't believe him and when he has to tell the police what happened, they might charge him for murder because he can't prove that the truck driver was trying to kill him.

    First of all what a classic movie. After being a driver now for many years I have encountered car drivers that don't like being over taken even when their like 8mph under the speed limit... When you over take (doing the speed limit) they wake up and fight for their space back...to the point of cutting you up.... Usually the driver is in a modern sporty type of car. It's funny seeing that behaviour and how petty it is, I can imagine them muttering "i want my road space back" 😂 some can't get their space back and start driving dangerously just to get in front of me😂 some end up 5 cars behind because they get stuck trying to over take again😂... I just don't get the man baby attitude 🤭 so Duel is very realistic in the driving attitudes that's still around today...
