BTW - "Kanopy" - thanks to the Aussies per 10 yrs ago, has finally reached me via my local library as of last week.

I signed up and have viewed the above movies since 2 day ago:

Secret of the Kells, Silent Waters (about the mentality of fanaticism/and the mom's larger view of universal humanism) - knowing of history (Pakistan/Indian partition1947/and the Sikhs therein helps in understanding this movie))- and Kedi (Kitty/cat in Turkish? - i assume), last is a good hearted film for all that love cats/animals - even if EVIL (VA/millions otheres like him/it) Moooooslims.

check your local library, Kanopy is Aussie originally, so prob offfered via your Aidilade(sp) library.

2-cents.

"don't be so understanding" 1:06

1:08 us the mark - "stooping so long you are just half a man" - bitter and unfair remark from a good man to a good man - both living in unfair conditions.

may be the best movie ever made. that its still not offered on blu-ray is a crime

i have the dvd, but would buy the bluray if it were offered.

1:17 - 1:18 is another good scene.

49 minute mark

there is only one Shatner.

60 minute mark.

excellent movie, not as good as Noting but a Man, but excellent nonetheless.

also not offered on Bluray.

I've not heard of many of your selections. They look quite interesting.

Great comedic actress and scene with this link … comedy, tragedy, humour, suffering, questions, all in a couple of minutes.

She is actually acting.
She has facial mobility.

Botox injections, lip plumping and surgery have altered the craft's instrument of face.

Perhaps the new enhanced instrument of face is preparing us for when the robots replace highly-paid actors. We will be accustomed to less mobility.

Digital special effects have already replaced a lot.

True. If anyone wants to see really great acting go for anything that isn't American (and usually with subtitles). Americans are unconvincing hams when it comes to acting (and existing).

Those weaned on a diet of film acting may not understand that real acting is stage acting, as in the above scene from Barton Fink. Why? Because real acting is face-to-face, human-to-human, in real time, the place where things used to get done in real life, before film was a product to be sold.

For such acting the expressions must be exaggerated to be seen in the back row where the lights are dim.

Judy Davis’ stage acting is from the days of vaudeville, which precede the setting of the scene thus mingling the viewer’s likely limited knowledge of stage acting, with what humans once were in life, namely, face-to-face actors. The talkies had been discovered in her lifetime.

Judy Davis is only 63. Are you thinking of Judi Dench?

Judy Davis is this actress.

She is the one wearing the dress.

The setting of her character in the movie, in time, implies that she was a girl when film-time transitioned from facial acting, to the talkies.

Many from that generation took their social cues regarding face-to-face interactions from the movies ending up in stylized, interpersonal behavior.

Think, Jackie Gleason.

You said that 'talkies' were invented in her lifetime. Even Judi Dench isn't old enough for that.

I'll settle for, you just don't get it.

This scene has good facial expressions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpJxEQc2s-M

It also depicts the way Americans really are.

Expressive, polite, and suspicious.



Therefore, I’ll explain this much. The setting of the movie Barton Fink is about 1945*. The character Audrey is about 35. With these numbers, the meaning should unfold right before your eyes.

* Maybe 1942.

You did say 'Judy Davis'. But I get what you mean now (I think). Her acting in the clip is unbearably hammy.

The way they used to be, perhaps. Paul Newman was known as a quiet, reserved man. Shame you can't see his amazing eye colour in that lovely clip.
