    The fact that they didn't cast professional dancers for the original Footloose is part of what makes it awesome.

      Exactly. The remake sucked. That movie came out when they were still trying to make Julianne Hough an actress. She's a phenomenal dancer, but acting is not her thing.

      @Amzingred 4 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      it came across more genuine. truly looked like regular people that just loved dancing and simply could do well enough in following the beat and rhythm. So it easily resonates more with the audience than seeing professionals doing these choreograph dancers that you would never see happen in real life.

    Kevin is one of those astonishingly versatile actors that makes you scratch your head over why he hasn't won more industry awards. He's 100% believable as a villain and as a hero. And he seems like a genuinely nice guy to boot.

      Sean would be well-suited to star in (and/or direct) a true story of an American recently locked up in Thailand for over a year on bogus charges. It's articulated in the book titled: '1 Pill = 28 Years.' Part of the story shows how US's DEA is intrinsically entwined in putting tens of thousands of poor brown-skinned SE Asian hill tribers into prisons for decades each - for victimless and/or petty crimes.

    That scene in Mystic River is the hardest piece of cinema I have ever watched. The shock, grief and horror juxtaposition with Bacon's stillness is just too real. In my opinion, it is one of the most charged scenes in the history of film making. And nothing about it is gratuitous. The scene holds us for a moment - to actually experience the nightmare that life can present - just in case we are too asleep in our everyday trivialities and forget how precious love and life really is.

    Kevin starts playing with his ring just before mentioning how his wife influenced his choice of roles in A Few Good Men. I have long argued that actors (Men and Women) are the greatest observers of human behavior; and here we see Kevin providing the "tell" in his behavior of instinctively touching his ring to give his wife credit for that role choice before verbalizing it, brilliant!

    33:51 😂this is the 3rd time he’s talked about not keeping it together during a scene. At some point, the “someone” who “started laughing” becomes clear. Love this guy.

    I was worried they wouldn't talk about Woodsman and Hollowman. And to hear about Mystic River was just great. I wanted to hear about Wild Things though! This was such a good one though.

    He did a movie called "Death Sentence" and I think it's the only movie I've seen where I really felt like he showed his full potential and range as an actor. To be fair, I haven't seen all of his movies, but I thought his performance in Death Sentence is just amazing. Give it a shot if you haven't seen it.
