@gloverelaxis 3 года назад

Well, Dead Poets Society is an absolute stinker. Ham-fisted, boorishly obvious and schmalzy; one of the most inexplicably and severely overrated films I've ever seen. But Hawke is an incredible actor and filmmaker (The Good Lord Bird is just totally fantastic) and I agree that barring DPS (which he was least responsible for!), his batting average is just out of this world. Very, very talented and superlative taste in projects.

@@QUARTERMASTEREMI6 it's my favourite sci-fi film. The Matrix was game-changing, I love solid space adventures with a human story, but this film is everything that successful sci-fi strives to be: bigger than its budget, ambitious and expansive in its narrative, but about small stories and simple human compulsions at its core. It's always just been slightly ahead of where we are viewing it, so it works as a relatable cautionary tale and inspirational one too. Cracking score as well 😃

This is a serious question: Why do you say "he is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood"? He has 4 Oscar noms in addition to other acting and writing noms and some hollywood Awards Wins, he's made some terrific movies w/ A+ directors some of whom have sought him out for the role. How is that "underrated"? Maybe Out There in Audience-movieland - ? Anyway, just really curious about that characterization. I think he's one of the best actors of his generation; have seen a lot of his movies and when I see he's cast, I take a serious look because, well, I rate him very-highly! W/ respect.

Absolutely love the "before" trilogy. Up there on my all-time favorite movies list. The fact that I'm the same age as the characters and have seen all the movies as soon as they came out helps. They really capture the maturity level, complications, ideals, etc. of the character's ages, and while to me they're snapshots of their exact years and times of my life, there's still an incredibly timeless aspect to them.

Thing is in some ways they're kind of starting to remind me of like Inside The Actors Studio, but when it got to seasons like 7, 8 and 9, and so on. For as often as the series is being done, you're kind of running out of actors that truly warrant such a deep dive. I've seen some thumbnails for ones with actors I like perfectly fine, but "their iconic roles"? Iconic? Some of these people they've featured have accumulated MAYBE 2-3 really indelible characters so far, at best. Or, I guess they can do more, just don't pretend it's a slew of incredible roles.

@Kaipyro67ALT 4 года назад

Rami Malek was great, but Bradley Cooper has never been that great to me. He's fine, but he's never been anything other than "pretty good" to me. Ethan Hawke needs some more recognition as a talented artist. That being said, the Oscars ain't fair. Toni Colette is phenomenal but doesn't win awards or turn heads at her name and she was brilliant in Hereditary. No nomination. Often times the best movies don't win awards and remain the runner up or just an honourable mention.
