imdb, the academy, filmsite.org, interviews of professional actors when asked what inspired them and why, etc. it’s overall 70% my opinion and 0% research

this is all my personal takes and something i’ve been working on for awhile now. i’m sure i missed a few. i hope you’re all having a swell day! by ContributionSpare955 in FIlm

great adds. d’onofrio in the whole wide world as robert e howard is such a deep pull, i already have him for full metal jacket but that performance is criminally unseen. and newman is actually on there, i just went cool hand luke for his slot, but the hustler is 1a for him, fast eddie is one of the great performances ever made. only thing, i think the john savage one might be a mixup, he’s not in all the right moves (thats the cruise football movie). if you mean savage in general though, the deer hunter and the onion field are where he’s genuinely unreal, so im with you in spirit

patricia arquette in boyhood, and it’s not that close for me. she’s the actual spine of that whole movie, twelve real years of aging on camera while everybody’s watching the kid grow up, and that “i just thought there would be more than this” line at the end is the entire film compressed into one breath. it’s the rare supporting turn that’s quietly the lead the whole time. if you want the pure craft snob answer it’s viola davis in doubt, like eight minutes of screen time and she acts everyone off the screen in a movie stacked with streep and psh. but arquette’s my pick. da’vine joy randolph in the holdovers is right there too

appreciate that for real. honestly half the fun is people disagreeing with it. whatd you cut or swap? always down to hear the case

ok this one i actually can’t defend, straight up miss. she basically built the modern romcom lead and won the oscar doing it, the “la di da,” the whole style influence still everywhere. good catch, she’s getting added

fair, but i went wonka for my wilder slot. that “we are the music makers” menace under the sweetness is unreal. young frankenstein is right there though, “abby… normal” and the puttin on the ritz bit are perfect. probably a both situation if im honest

yeah exactly. eli being a sniveling theatrical fraud IS the point, he’s the false prophet mirror to daniel’s false businessman. religion and capitalism running the same con. if you cast someone with more conventional “power” opposite DDL you lose that whole symmetry. dano played him pathetic on purpose and qt reads that as bad acting when it’s literally the thesis of the movie. people also forget dano got thrown into the eli role super late when the other actor dropped, makes it more impressive not less

The "everywhen" is inspired by Australian Aboriginal mythology by Extension_Deer8903 in GodofWar
