i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
I love how the camera zooms dramatically on Gary when he reminisces about his first time in America, like he's gonna say something really sentimental, and he says "I was in a bar and there was a drink there called Knob Creek", LMAO
He's magnetic in every single moment of every single film he's in--he's is amazing. i know the shoulder shift Gary refers to--Jim's whole life/world with Tom is shifted in his shoulders--he knows in that moment, the truth. I've seen this movie so many times, because you want to see every frame. A film bold enough to move at that pace needs every moment taken in. Beautiful movie, so simple and powerful.
This film was just incredible, in particular the acting and sound design. I think I've watched it 10 times by now and I can't think of a single weak point or sore spot in the entire movie. It was a delicious slow burn littered with pearls and diamonds all throughout the film.
Magnificent film. The simplicity of a middle- age George is absolutely phenomenal. Gary's Karla monologue--that his love for Ann was essentially, Karla's way in--my goodness--movie-making at it's finest!! And I love anything with Mark Strong. And of course Colin Firth.
The 'simple' life of a spy, almost. George getting his glasses...the music. It's absolutely my all-time favorites. And I've seen it about 10x too. Le Mer, genious!!!
They also talk about the nature of acting, and their own acting, with a professional intelligence that is common in the UK and rare in the US, where actors usually turn up on late night chat shows and are required to be funny at all costs. Means certain kinds of actors and films rarely appear.
This film is a masterpiece and is the British equivalent in terms of the cast of true all-stars that Glengarry Glen Ross was. Oldman was robbed of an Oscar for this movie.
Mark and Gary get on well. Two actors that respect each other and their bodies of work. Awesomeness on that couch right there. Mark Strong is unbelievable. And Gary Oldeman is the chameleon of the cinemas. They're more talking to each other than the interviewer. I ate this up.
The first time in twenty odd years, was going to see Tinker Taylor at the movies, and well how fantastic it was, nailed the characters, the atmosphere of the plot, and of the times. A master class in movie making.
Mark Strong was so great in that Robin Hood movie, and that last scene he was in always stuck in my mind, he was in shock, bu then like a knowing what just happened, acknowledgement and acceptance that he was bettered and dying in a way he expected and kind of 'hats off' to Hood, all in one motion and expression. Probably the best death scene in any movie as it's so brutal and quick yet outstanding.
Morse. I remember it too -- in the Masonic one. Mark Strong was a cop who stopped him and breathalysed him and was flummoxed when Morse passed because he hadn't liked his host's choice in beer.
Bravo to Gary Oldman and Mark Strong for persevering with the outstanding idiocy and banality of the interviewers questioning. The creativity of Oldman and the I'm keeping my mouth shut in case I say something I'll regret from Strong is a joy to behold.
Movies that DEMAND your ability to pay attention and use your intelligence are so rare, that they allow a movie like this to shine like a beacon. And Gary Oldman is at the top of the list for talent, charisma and intelligence. Great movie, great interview.
I love le carre and that bbc production (Guiness) was without equal. Then the remake was, impossibly, just as good. Love those guys! Wish everything was on that peak level. So funny, that collision between American interviewer and these two Hitchhikers of the Galaxy. A gift!
Strong is a perfectly nice guy, but you can see from his look (and voice) why he plays villains. If you can go bald that young and still look cool, that’s pretty badass.
Yeah, it's got a genuine feeling to it, like it's actually real people sitting there talking and not pre-programmed robot actors from a shallow Hollywood studio. Gary's a real person, and Mark seems to. The setting too, just seems like a random room at some random place, with those leaves in the window. Very chill.
Great interview. Nice to hear the guys just "chat". And they sound and look so relaxed here that you get more out of it rather than the question and answer interview style. Refreshing.
If you've missed this one check it out and thank me later. One of the most interesting and well knitted films I've ever since. The grand finale leaves you stunned, dabbing a tear.
Two of my favorite actors! These guys are amazing!!! Very under rated, lacking recognition though.. nevertheless their brilliance shows in every rol they play...
The two best actors from the movie IMO. Well Gary is the lead and always great in everything he does but Mark was a real standout as Prideaux. He has such a depth in his acting, shouldn't be wasted in cliche villain roles
Both very strong acting talents with wide ranges of characters that they both bring off as absolutely believable. Also they are seemingly gentle, unassuming, largely amiable blokes who'd be great fun to sit with and have a few Pints
I am proud to say I have never read or seen a Potter POS! So, Mark Strong, don't feel bad. I never imagined a LeCarré could be made better than Sir Alec....until this movie.
It is a credit to the actors that they made an entertaining movie in the face of such a successful series. I like the movie a because of the acting, and it is a great story, especially because it's based on real events.
Oldman's an English-language treasure who casts a long shadow on our contemporary cinema. But the only actor on par with the cast of the 1980 BBC production is Mark Strong.. Surprisingly weak was the Oscar winner who plays Karla's mole and the Strong character's best friend since Cambridge days.
To make a movie of an iconic BBC TV series was such a challenge, well met. Gary Oldman portraited such a brilliant Smiley in the movie. To develop characters in a movie already done in a BBC telie series, priceless.
I thought Gary was brilliant in TTSS when I watched it a few years ago. Then I watched Smiley and Smiley's People recently and I can understand why he hesitated - Sir Alec Guinness was super brilliant in the role.However, tv allows you to make a stronger establishment. And Gary's right - the new fans only remember your most recent work as with Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi - they don't know him as Smiley or his earlier work.
I think that it is very difficult to visualize the Le Carre's novels. Whoever read the novel of TTSS, we have had the personal images about the characters. Before I watched this movie, I had not imagined neither G.Oldman as "Smiley" nor M.Strong as "Prideux". I watched this movie again & again. I understand they did their best. I thank their great efforts. I love this movie.
The only downside for me in their TTSS remake was it was too short. There were jumps in logic that were derived too quickly considering the subterfuge involved. Still, a great film and brilliantly executed.
Re-watched this and laughed again at all the stupid references to England's strange names. Lived there for five years in the late nineties and enjoyed getting to know all the slang names for things. These two are such great actors. When will Mark Strong be a Bond villain?
I think that Gary Oldman is one of the best actor in the world. I was about thirteen or fourteen when I saw him in Air Force One as a Russian Villain so I laugh a little about Tinker. Because I can say that I see him as playing a great Villain with John Le Carrie.
