Small interview segment initially included in a DVD Review promotional DVD for The Matrix Reloaded's October 2003 DVD release. Hugo Weaving discusses working with the Wachowskis and the sequels' special effects.
Hugo was the best actor. Hands down. He was niether cheesy nor uninteresting. There was never one point in the trilogy where Smith got boring. That is why he is my favorite character of the trilogy! :D
His performance never feels generic or uninteresting, he has this brilliant charismatic characteristic surrounding him which gives him an eloquent and effortless vibe. I like him so much!
I am not an actor, but I use my hands a lot as well. I use to do a lot of public speaking, and sometimes you use your hands to emphasis a point. If done properly, it helps with the communication. If overly done, it is a distraction.
I watched this movie alot when i was 13 and i didnt know hugo weaving was born nigeria, or grew up in austrialia until i went and googled his biography
Wondering if those sunnies he wore were specifically made for the prop. dept. Or a special tailor-made order from a sunglasses manufacturer. Most likely
@charlieiscool1000 Um , there have been Films where he has gone FULL Aussie ( Little Fish ) and FULL Brit ( V For Vendetta , Wolfman ) ! As Elrond , he had A Kiwi Thing goin` ! As Smith , he did A Striking American Monotone ! And as Johan Schmidt/Red Skull in " Captain America : The First Avenger " , he`s doin` A German Accent ! He`s AN INCREDIBLE Actor !
@madhorn1 Technically he is Nigerian ( born there )- English (His parents)- Australian.( lives there). He also lived in South Africa at a young age. Does that count? ;P But yes, I consider him Australian. He has lived there for 35 years after all ^^
