"I was making an allusion in general and for Mr. Pitt."Yes and I was trying to discuss your assertion as it pertains to Brad Pitt. It seems you are not itnerested in discussing it.
"In art there is a subjective measure, made of experience and understanding."
Yes, there are elements to art that are subjective and elements that are objective. When one talks about likes and dislikes it is fair to presume one is talking about the subjective elements. When one talks about good and bad it is fair to assume one is discussing the objctive elements. You talked about "good actors" and "bad actors." They do exist objectively and that was what I was trying to discuss as it pertains to Brad Pitt.
"But I am not certain I get your point."Hopefully I have clarified it.
Follow Ups:
Of course I am always willing to discuss! But on the subject of Mr. Pitt, I would be push hard to have to say anything, as there not much to be said of.
He just is a marketing product. For me.
If you are willing to discuss then let's start with the roles he played in the movies I already mentioned. 12 Monkeys, Legends of the Fall, Seven, and True Romance. I have said that those movies show a substantial range in his characters and depth as well. Disagree? If so why?
This is a discussion Forum, so ... 12 Monkeys..Did he play in? I can only remember Bruce Willis in it...Legends of the fall? Oh yes vaguely, actually I saw it one time and a half, first I thought nice film, but then so idealised that I fall into a deep sleep, Ah yes Brad! Nice next door boy, but he ainīt no Robert Redford, even he try hard in this film.
Legends of the Fall....The same.
Seven. Too brutal and from the " Silence of the Lamb " vein.
True Romance? I remember ...But was it not Slater?
So, I hope you can take adose of irony, but the truth simmer behind this, of what I really think, you may not be happy with it, but to explain what I feel about him, I canīt do any better....and this is still ironic.

If we are going to discuss his performances you are going to have to pay attention to the movies when you watch them.
"Legends of the Fall....The same."The same what? Are you comparing his performance in Legends of the Fall to his performance in Legends of the Fall? I agree they were very similar.
"Seven. Too brutal and from the " Silence of the Lamb " vein."What does that have to do with the depth and range of his characters?
"True Romance? I remember ...But was it not Slater?"I guess you don't remember. Again, if we are going to discuss an actor's range and depth you are going to have to pay more attention to the movies you watch.
"So, I hope you can take adose of irony, but the truth simmer behind this, of what I really think, you may not be happy with it, but to explain what I feel about him, I canīt do any better....and this is still ironic."Your post was wet with irony. I can take it but it was a discussion I sought and it was a discussion you claimed you could participate in. Oh well.
I never said that he was not a nice guy, but a great actor he is not.
It was ironical of course! ( I watch the film I see.....)
Nothing to do. But Depth? None...But it was a nice thriller, I wonder how it would stand today, I do not think too good.
Donīt worry we will find something to discuss really.
"Donīt worry we will find something to discuss really."I tried many times now with no luck. I have my doubts.
