Its a wonderful experience really. Actors that you can feel that are the character are the best. Then it just doesnt seem like they are acting they are the real person even though that person does not exist..tweetey30https://www.blogger.com/profile/04780963604845788306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-89823006046678163322009-03-04T18:49:00.000-05:002009-03-04T18:49:00.000-05:00Just want to say what an interesting great post, a...Just want to say what an interesting great post, and comments.Jason Messingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567104029221876546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-45062405644626486942009-03-03T15:20:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:20:00.000-05:00Hi Candy, Thanks for the farrel clips.

Its like - oh man, he has tricked me again... that man may look dreamy, but what he's doing is like being attracted by a wil'o the wisp, or a civil banshee.<BR/><BR/>I am never bothered in a movie, when the whole character is presented. Its when you see them in a room with no props, when you still believe the character being played is real...<BR/><BR/>Hello Gardinia!<BR/><BR/>Hey Candy, I'm home with no voice. So I can't call you!<BR/><BR/>Is Farrel his real name?

He's almost like Dougal in Father Ted. (Do you know that show? I hope so!)<BR/><BR/>Also, yes, the first time I saw Mul Dr., I was like, man Watts is so bad. But after a couple of viewings you get that she's playing this ditzy, naive country girl who can actually really act (as seen in the audition scene). <BR/><BR/>Maybe she is rarely pushed by her directors. Maybe Lynch is in love with the non-acting style of acting -- an "extra-natural" style, rather than merely the natural feel of Stanislavski, Strasberg, and The Method.<BR/><BR/>I hope to see Doubt soon...<BR/><BR/>Great post, though!* (asterisk)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11969314216753450118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-45340202202097071732009-03-01T11:22:00.000-05:002009-03-01T11:22:00.000-05:00*, Oh god...we love "In Bruges" around here (actua...*, Oh god...we love "In Bruges" around here (actually I purposely didn't mention his acting in that...because it's like a cliche disclaimer...I think he's always been a consistent good actor...he may take weird roles in not so good movies...but he's always been a good performer)...I could watch it over and over again. I'm madly in love with all three of those actors.An excellent observation about John M. I HAVE noticed it...and although you don't want to see "Burn After Reading" it has some interesting range played out in the actors. Jon m. is fantastic even though...it is aperhaps a little too campy of a movie for you.<BR/><BR/>You've brought up an kind of acting...that I wish I had a name for or that there was a name for it. Watts in "Mull Dr." is a fabulous example. And everyone knew it, thats why she was nominated at Oscars for that role...she was really pushed.<BR/><BR/>What is the acting...? I first really articulated this form of acting...which seems like -not acting- in "Pritzi's Honor". Operatic? Campy? Stilted?<BR/><BR/>But completely effective and adding to a sense of otherworldyness...that the moivie was stilted...that we had an unreliable narrator?<BR/><BR/>Lynch does seem to pick, or request his actors to often have a stilted style. Kyle M. in "Blue Velvet" and Laura Dern. Dern's whole performance in "Inland Empire" messes with her acting styles and she plays into several types of acting in that movie.<BR/><BR/>The more you watch Watts in "Mullholland Dr." the better you see she is..it's riveting. I think with Watts is we haven't seen her in many demanding acting roles. There actually aren't that many written for females.<BR/><BR/>"Doubt" "Crash" "American Beauty" "Prtizi's Honor" all have examples of a kind of stilted style (like Lynch actors)...of acting...it's fake-seeming but it is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Must do more pondering on this topic...Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-42510617227752483342009-03-01T10:41:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:41:00.000-05:00Candy, on a different but related note (back to th...Candy, on a different but related note (back to the "good acting" dialogue), watch Naomi Watts in Mulholland Dr.<BR/><BR/>She seems to be acting really badly. Until the point when she's doing the audition, and suddenly she is fucking awesome. It's such an interesting piece of work...<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, by and large I actually think Watts is not very good. Furthermore, I think Lynch mostly doesn't concern himself with getting what are widely accepted as "good acting performances". But here, in those few minutes, it's as though she had to act her socks off, and Lynch knew it had to be a great audition.

I don't think he necessarily slims or adds weight for each role, but he shifts his physique to match the role.
