Same
Brad Pitt is one of my fav actors, and I would have to agree that his acting is pretty great in most of the films in which he's performed. @midwest
I disagree really... A good actor is someone you don't refer to by their real name, but by their character they portray. If you can refer to any characters and not say that's brad pit, then they successfully deceived you to think they are someone else, that's a good actor.
Lol, good point.
unless the actor has done so many good roles that naming every character takes too long so you just give their personal nameπ @Sheamus
@Apollo if you were here in person to supervise you and make sure you don't Google it, I'd ask you to name all these many good characters that Brad portrayed. Lol no point to do that though.
i was not even talking about brad pitt at all
Lol well the actor of topic was Brad Pit, that's okay. In the case of your example, Gilbert grape, Edward scissor hands, captain Jack sparrow, willy wonka are characters by Johnny Depp, i still refer to him primarily though as Edward scissor hands, though I've been fooled a few times lol. Same when it comes to Rambo, or Rocky, same when it comes to Terminator or Conan lol, I've been successfully deceived by a few actors to think more of them as the characters they portrayed than their real life identities, in spite of knowing their true identities.
My disagreement was with Brad Pit though, i can't think of any character he ever portrayed that stood out to me, hence my disagreement. There's a couple of movies he acted in that enjoyed, but i certainly don't think he managed to deceive me, i enjoyed the movies for other reasons, like the directing, musical score or story and other archs.
I just simply refer to people as they are and by their job description as actors or actresses..as performers. Interesting way to look at things though. @Sheamus . Achilles, Tristan, Benjamin Button, Tyler Durden, Lt. Aldo Raine, hmm... Wardaddy. You mentioned my all time favorite actor also β€ Johnny Depp.
@ZombieQueen well you've been deceived by Brad, i personally haven't lol, Tyler there i think rings a bell, was that fight club?
And yeah Johnny Depp is good with the characters he is generally given, there are other roles he totally sucked as though, not very memorable characters, but i suspect Tim Burton specifically tailors characters around JD lol
Yeah, man that was Fight Club π I can't believe I forgot to add *Jesse James* to my favorite roles of Brad's..Shame on me. π Tim Burton β€ Yeah, i'm sure he tailors those roles specifically for Johnny and Burton's woman Helena Bonham Carter. ^.^ @Sheamus
watched Sicario last night. Very good movie
Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt? Oof
hehe yeah those two might be a bit off-putting but they actually work in this movie. the cinematography alone makes this a worth while watch.
92% on Rottentomatoes
I meant Oof as in..hell yes. I like Benicio Del Toro anyway and Emily Blunt is purdy.
aaah lol ok.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0171363/?ref_=nv_sr_2 Old one, but it's a good one. I'm gonna start watching the new Hill House series on Netflix soon, so I wanted to watch the movie again before so. ^.^
@Nidalap Rorrim I funnily enough liked Sicario 2 a lot more.
I would highly recommend 'The apostle'
The Apostle looks good @Nidalap Rorrim
A GTA V movie anyone?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144117/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Probably in my top 10 fav movies of all time.
Ooh ja Boondock Saints is also in my top 10
Along with Equilibrium and Aliens :p
That gun kata cene in Equilibrium was epic
Children of men is also a good one.
When our power comes on ill link a good documentary about the cinematography of Children of men. Very interesting
Do eet
Damn can't find the one i'm thinking off. Might have been a special feature on the blu-ray. This one talks a bit about the one shot and use of natural light a bit. I'll keep looking for the longer better quality one and share it when I find it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmRqS9dTHQc
