In Reply to: John's Wooden Acting.... posted by AudioHead on May 27, 2004 at 11:20:05:
I don't think the two are quite the same - Eastwood is far superior as an actor, I think.It is not just the static nature of the facial expression - there are actors who can present very broad range of emotions without moving one facial muscle - people like Gabin... problem with Wayne was he simply didn't know how to play the emotions, his face was straining but nothing was coming out.
In that respect his ineptitude reminded me of two other great logs - Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford - if you recall the scene in Top Gun when Tommy boy sits alone in the bar, expressing grief over his partner's death - that's what I mean... the laughable attempts at portraying any real emotions, besides shaking his finger at camera.
Follow Ups:
What is weird about Tom Cruise is that he was pretty good when he was just an up and coming actor. His work in 1982's "Taps", 1983's "The Outsiders", "Losin' It", and "Risky Business", and 1984's "All the Right Moves" is very nice. He can play the nervous boy who is afraid of screwing up. But then he started to get offers for roles calling for other kinds of thoughts and feelings....and they just aren't there!A nervous man who is terrified of screwing everything up...what actor should Tom Cruise have modeled his career on? Who does that sound like?
ah
