that Daniel Day Lewis didn't win the Oscar, instead it went to someone from that penis film whose director is a sex offender.

By saying 'someone for that penis film whose director is a sex offender' you're undermining his performance. Have you seen the "pianist"? If so, can you not find a better way to rate his performance, instead of dismissing it beacuse of who directed it???? What you did, was you dismissed somebody's art because of who they are, whilst what I wanted to say, was that you shoudln't condemn his abilities, or the film because of his personal life. I was also trying to make the point, that people aren't just lables, and there is much more to him that just paeodophilia! |
I have only seen the first half since the second hadn't finished downloading yet.
You seem to be confusing good acting, with good directing/storytelling. You have just mentioned Polanski's ability. I am not talking about that, I am talking abou tthe award for best actor.
And I am not judging the film based on the sexual habits of its paedophile director, I just mentioned that because I think it is interesting. ANd penis sounds like pianist. |
lol. I'\m a piano played
Still, you're comment did detract from what was a excellent film.....
On his acting, I think he didn't over play, or overexagerate his character as he could have done. The key motive that eminated from his performance was survival. He didn't stive to find an answer, or even perspective as the persecuted, but carried this idea of bewilderment as to why what is happening is happening. The survival instinct shown is important for me, this is what made the character. His story was one of great survival, surviving against the odds. In his performance, he was able to subtly convey the emotions, and torment he was feeling through this sort of indignant will to survive. When a situation is so utterly uncomprehendable, I think it's difficult for the actor to convince, and relate a character to an audiance. In many respects his performance allowed the message of the film to speak for itself, there was no grand speach on persicution (although I know this was to do with the script), and thus he was able to get the torment, the horrors to the audiance, whilst still coming across as human, and dignified.
