The lovely bones is my favorite movie ever. I cry every time I see it. I cry most at the part where Mr. Harvey does the final push of the safe into the sinkhole. Like, that’s it. She’s gone. She’ll never be found. She finally has a grave. And that’s just it. Stanley is such an amazing actor. He’s the best creep for a movie, but the sweetest person in irl. ❤️❤️
I loved him in Burlesque I never even realized this was him playing mr Harvey !!! Happy to know that they picked a very sweet and light hearted man for this role because the movie disgustingly accurate
He's SUCH a GREAT actor. He disappeared into that Mr. Harvey role and it was REALLY chilling. I just watched The Lovely Bones the other day and I'd forgotten HOW GOOD he was in it.
I couldn t look at him for years because of this role. That s the mark of a great actor. And yes i did found him attractive in the movie,just like i adore him in real life because of his kindness,politeness and now in 60's he s got that sexy vibe❤️
I adore this great actor! After watching this movie, I couldn't look at anyone with that moustache in real life and in movies, even when their characters were in contrast to this part (her, lobster), without feeling quite uneasy and distracted. Other actors have wonderfully played psychopaths. Never the influence of those roles was ever so potent in translating elsewhere and affecting my concious cues so negatively, but this one part. Stanley Tucci placed that character forefront extremely well. It must be so difficult and troubling for one such actor to actually play it so convincingly and having to keep a disturbed individual like that with you for so long.
Movies that intrigued me about child murder were "the lovely bones"(girls murder) and "the black phone"(boys murder). I'm saying this in November, 2022.
he HATED it. it bothered him playing such a creepy, disturbed individual. He was glad to be rid of the character. He's said that in several interviews I've seen.
I think the thing about playing a creepy, disturbed or psychotic character is this: it's good experience for an actor to go: "outside their comfort zone" and play it, BUT, also be FULLY CONSCIOUS of the fact that it's HIGHLY triggering, disturbing and COMPLETELY the opposite of who we ACTUALLY are. I mean, it's the "essence" of being an actor. SO, I know how difficult and complex it is to portray an evil or malicious character and be CONVINCING, yet have a COMPLETELY uncomfortable but amazing, transformative personal experience at the same time. I remember I had the chance to play Iago in an Oregon Shakespeare Festival production of Othello back when I was in college. Now, Iago isn't technically a: "serial killer" BUT, he's vicious, manipulative and conniving, and people do end up dead as a result of his actions, as we see with Desdemona, and eventually with Othello himself. Iago is left alive, but wounded. The fact is: he's left to stew alive in his misery and guilt over what he's done. NOT a happy ending. 😁 And it's Shakespeare; so OF COURSE I did it. It was DRAINING. Comedy is MUCH easier and lighter for me to play (some Actors say Comedy is harder and I have had pretty much the complete opposite experience) and create in than Drama is, and it does take up ALL of your energy. SO, I think that's what Tucci is saying. He CLEARLY enjoyed working with Peter Jackson and Saoirse, so that also can make it more bearable. I loved and trusted my castmates and my Director and that made it doable, because I knew they didn't regard me as an extension of my character. When you're a nice person in real life, but are playing an evil character, having the love and support of your fellow Actors and the Director makes it MUCH more tolerable. And yeah, that feeling of wanting to be "rid" of the character is VERY real and palpable. I KNOW I felt that way after the run of Othello ended. I could feel the character still lurking a bit and I just wanted him GONE. Shed, cast out, just leave out of my mind please. Eventually, you do shed it, but it's a process. I think this is why being an Actor is somewhat a mad thing because sometimes it's difficult to let a character go, despite how despicable and creepy they may have been to play. I can DEFINITELY understand both why Tucci took the role on, AND why he wanted it GONE from him after he'd finished shooting.
I hated Tucci because of the lovely bones, just shows how well he did in the role. Some of the movie was schmaltzy but all in all l the cast of Saroisa Ronan, her sister Lindsey & Rachel Weisz were great. The little brother and heartbroken detective also were perfect.
@@sugarray6250 sorry, not to be rude , but I believe the story about the murder of the young girl was more pertinent. Not looking to pick a fight, but we all have our favorites. Thanks for the reply.
For his role in lovely bones, he accepted on the terms that they would change his appearance entirely so that he wouldn’t be recognized for it. There was also a very gruesome scene of r@pe in the book, which was going to be somewhat put into the movie. He asked if they could not do that part, since even the thought of doing that to a child made him feel sick. An amazing man and actor, he played the role so well.
@@star-tc7xv I couldn't agree more. I too read the book, yes that particular scene needed to be left out.. Tucci , is a multi faceted actor. Saroisa Ronan really captured it though.
I think that Stanley Tuccy is one of the funniest men in american movies, and I love him speciel in "Shall we dance" with Ricard Gere and Jennifer Lopez, In "The lovely bones" he is so scary, and how some can mean he is sexy is so stupid. He was a child-abuser and a killer, and here he tells, how hard it was for him to play this part. It is a wonderful movie and all actors are great,
Nice guy. Seems like a carpet layer who got lucky. He’s thisclose to getting pretentious, but slap a wig on him and he indeed can play anything. Got that? Of course you do. Thank you. Ps am friends w Meryl who told my wife Stanley took huge BMs on set. And that’s his secret. True story.
