Even his speaking on Ryan's Daughter, where he essentially notes that he needed to defer per the nature of the film, shows a true intelligence regarding cinematic acting, even with his relaxed way of speaking that intelligence.

I love the use in creating such a marvelous way of constructing the series, where honestly Lynch makes so many series's seem lazy by comparison. <br /><br />My Favorites:<br /><br />James Hurley (yeah I don't care what anyone says)<br />Eddie Veder/Audrey Dance<br />Nine Inch Nails (Perhaps the most brilliantly used one, as this incantation almost for doppelcooper.) <br />Rebekah Del Rio<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />As alluded to by Bryan, all of Keira Knightley's roles. Any of Felicity Jones's roles (though I think Jones at her best is comparable) Although perhaps slightly too young, I think she would've been far better cast as Amy in Gone Girl otherwise. <br /><br />Margaery Tyrell or Daenerys. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />I mean Lean's later production design work is always astonishing, Doctor Zhivago perhaps being his highlight. The frozen home alone is such a brilliant piece of work, but any set manages to craft a sense of grandeur and gradually grimmer quality as it expands. This showing the change of the revolution and we see in the character. This particularly with for example Pasha's desolate "death" train. Of course the work in set decoration/location scouting, is extraordinary, as no location simply is, everything carries so much more. Amazing work. <br /><br />Well the straight historical work is great, but beyond that you have the best type of combination in beautiful and character centric. Although this too is realized brilliantly in the changes of the time in slowly less ornate costumes. This too as we see the vivacious costumes of Lara throughout, against Tonya's more modest colors for example. A feature that manages to stay even as both of their wears become more humble which is rather special. Or take again the meek wear of Pasha, against the totalitarian outfit of Strelnikov. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Well I'll admit I was mostly confused by that. Although decent enough voice acting from that extremely brief sample, and although the song was jarring at first to me, I slowly warmed up to it as a bit of a slightly strange style of emotional work.

Most notably Saul coming into his own which has been a showcase for Odenkirk. <br /><br />Bryan:<br /><br />I mean where does one begin with Part 8, which is the greatest achievement in directing in television I would say. This as Lynch manages to craft a "bottle episode" that is a masterful singular creation, though obviously it still connect in terms of crafting the lore, as we witness the creation of a sort of anti-life, in the creation of Bob and "Judy", that is both mesmerizing and disturbing. The "got a light?" sequence in particularly is truly startling and unforgivable in every bit of imagery, and every single one of its minimalist lines. Given how lurid the atmosphere for such a brief period, I could only wish we may get period horror from Lynch someday, as what is featured there is startling and stunning in equal measure.

This is as von Sydow managed to basically open with his key collaboration (Bergman), then managed another (Troell), a rare feat, while becoming essentially the go to elder statesman style actor in his own country from then on, this while managing to effectively pivot into English Language films of note throughout his career. This in that he managed to truly breakout as a true international actor, finding leading roles, and then so many notable supporting roles. Although one can argue he received fewer plaudits than he probably should've, nonetheless von Sydow's career throughout was marked by accomplishments, and one can easily argue him as one of the most successful foreign language actors in terms of bridging into American films, while also never losing his clout in his home country. A legendary career, and because of that, I won't say there really were any major missed opportunities. (Though he definitely should've played Weyland in Prometheus obviously, though that's the film's missed opportunity not his own.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-76535601608735367082020-03-11T05:38:39.191-04:002020-03-11T05:38:39.191-04:00That BCS episode was mostly quite solid, aside fro...That BCS episode was mostly quite solid, aside from the Saul Goodman court antics which was a great sequence.
