@laminage , That's probably true. However, Charlie was intimated by Frank. Furthermore, Karen, the niece, was desperate to have someone look over Frank over the Thanksgiving weekend and she told Charlie that he was the only person who showed up for the interview.
You got that right. Poor Karen, she and her Family were desperate to go away and he couldn't live with his Brother Willi. Poor Charlie, he was so desperate for Cash to go home for Xmas, he was willing to do the Job. Where I live in Canada, the deadline is November 15th and December 15th is the Deadline for sending presents.
We all rightly give Pacino massive props for his performance, and it really is electric, but fair play to O'Donnell, he gets the short stick. He has to play an out of his depth college kid who's nervous and unsure of himself, faltering, stuttering and intimidated. We don't admire those qualities so it's easy not to celebrate the actor who portrays them, but he does a bang-up job here. Really great performance on his part. To be able to stand on the scene with an actor of Pacino's caliber and keep pace is a great thing.
@@jp3813 well pacino yell in heat in scarface in the irishman in devils advocate lol the men cant act for shit , its called acting you have to play it low and invisible , and if pacino dont yell he sleeps lol and if he doesnt sleep he yells , its just variation of one thing called overacting , and thats whats hollywood is full of
@@azzouzhassan8721 If it works for most audiences & critics, it works. You're not the only one in the audience. Again, yellers exist in real life, not everyone is "low and invisible". Samuel Jackson knows this very well. The likes of Alan Rickman & Christopher Walken also have acting styles that they stick to. In any case, the original topic is this movie. Frank is an angry man who behaves like a drill sergeant around those he can't stand. Did you see him yelling at women? Take away what you know about the actor and the role is played perfectly.
