"This is...waitaminit, i just read your review. "This is a performance that is rather hard to say all that much about because Arkin just does very little in this film." are you kidding me? he carries the entire FILM. speaking very little english -- his native language -- he carries the whole damn film, from the beginning, when he's losing it because his idiot captain is putting his sub in danger of running aground, but he's trying to keep it lowkey because the captain will freak out and take it out on the crew otherwise, to the end, when he blows a kiss to his american friends.<br /><br />how old were you when you first watched the film? if you were in your teens, go back and watch it again. look for subtlety. <br />deusxmacxdeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202216328150378531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-90342282947873666652021-07-13T21:29:56.877-04:002021-07-13T21:29:56.877-04:00this still sucks grammar but i'm not deleting ...this still sucks grammar but i'm not deleting and editing and reposting again. lol. besides, i'm just talking to myself, so who tf cares?deusxmacxdeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202216328150378531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-14595682848857263182021-07-13T21:28:24.873-04:002021-07-13T21:28:24.873-04:00better late than never, i guess, but it was arkin&...better late than never, i guess, but it was arkin's FIRST academy nom. his second was for his performance in "the heart is a lonely hunter," for which he was nominated in '68.deusxmacxdeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202216328150378531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-28303111661767022232021-07-13T21:26:33.310-04:002021-07-13T21:26:33.310-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.deusxmacxdeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202216328150378531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-71390754802280610642012-07-01T21:48:35.878-04:002012-07-01T21:48:35.878-04:00Having just watched this film, I actually find Ark...Having just watched this film, I actually find Arkin's performance quite enjoyable (he and Paul Ford are easily the best performances in the whole film); I quite like Arkin, and find he underplays the role in a highly enjoyable manner (in some ways, it anticipates his Yossarian in the underrated CATCH-22).JamDenTelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-21054162417302992312011-08-30T23:07:53.357-04:002011-08-30T23:07:53.357-04:00I really have not seen enough of him to say for su...I really have not seen enough of him to say for sure.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-31355698108066303132011-08-30T22:38:53.158-04:002011-08-30T22:38:53.158-04:00Do you like him as an actor in general?Do you like him as an actor in general?joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-46723135518770164052011-08-30T02:37:07.504-04:002011-08-30T02:37:07.504-04:00I saw a short scene of this movie but I don't ...I saw a short scene of this movie but I don't really remember. :Ddinasztiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418227830861757663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-89751452514331869622011-08-29T20:44:37.984-04:002011-08-29T20:44:37.984-04:00hahahaha lmao thts all im ever gonna think now whe...hahahaha lmao thts all im ever gonna think now whenever alan arkins name is mentioned =D lolRatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-82613673989783701732011-08-29T18:26:45.021-04:002011-08-29T18:26:45.021-04:00^ Ha ha ha ha, It's a-me, MARIO!!!!!^ Ha ha ha ha, It's a-me, MARIO!!!!!dshultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360438572796822894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-14662508312628033262011-08-29T12:53:37.585-04:002011-08-29T12:53:37.585-04:00Whenever I see Alan Arkin in this film I always th...Whenever I see Alan Arkin in this film I always think Super Mario Bros lol =DRatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-66060168409330154752011-08-29T12:08:20.398-04:002011-08-29T12:08:20.398-04:00Still so many nominees I need to catch up on...Still so many nominees I need to catch up on...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
