***it's too bad that you let your political bias take over to judge an actor like DeNiro. I dont know of anyone who has as many good films as DeNiro. Even in not so good movies, he's still convincing.I shall gladly give you that. BTW, the post was about 1/3 jest, perhaps hoping to generate a discussion on how we select our idols.
***I like his loyalty to stand up for Kazan at the academy award. I'm afraid you might be left with Arnold and Moses.
No, that would not be too nice. But here is how I see it.
I don't think one can completely disassociate the actor from his views - much like it is hard to do this with friends. But then it becomes a question of an overall balance. I have friends with whom I would never talk politics - for I would jump at their throats in no time at all. I love them on balance.
So, the balance... tought issue. Why in this case De Niro and not, say, Susan Sarandon, who too is extremely liberal?
What is wrong with admitting this is highly emotional? That for some personal reason Robert had failed to compensate for his behavior?
Now, take Susan. I know what she stands for and she does send my blood boiling. But I have to tell you, I was in some shithole hotel few days ago, and as I was getting ready to leave, I turned on TV and there was "Earthly Possessions"... it only took a second for me to drop everything I was doing and to get completely under her spell...
Her power was simply too much for me to handle. I wanted to despise her, but it was hopeless. I had to pry myself away from the screen - it was time to go. She was simply incredible in that simple role.
Perhaps Robert failed to pierce this barrier for me. But Susan did.
So, now in addition to Arnold and "Moses" we have another tallented lady,....... and man, do I hate what she stands for!
So, no, I am not afraid to find myself in an empty room with no screen - there are scores of good actors I still can count on.
BTW, have you seen the architectural drawings by Adolf Hitler? They are pretty good...
