In Reply to: See Penn in Bad Boys, Fast Times, and At Close Range posted by tinear on February 20, 2005 at 12:09:57:
Two of the films you mention I agree with..."Fast Times" and "Bad Boys". I would add "Racing to the Moon" to that list too, and he plays a small town character in that one.As I said before, maybe I have a beam in my eye when I see Penn, but I still believe he "froze" into a "actor" somewhere after 1984. There are moments in "At Close Range" and "Colors" and even in the later movies. But for me, they are just moments, not a whole characterization that fits the warp and woof of a movie. I only mention Penn's background because he does play "rural", "dangerous", "mentally retarded", and I was noting that he stays far far away from anything that he truly is. Why? What would he show us?
Who knows? Penn has years of work left, God willing. So perhaps he will do film(s) that will bring me in agreement with you! I certainly am not anti-Penn (and it's definitely not a political thing), I am just cold to him. I will always be happy to read opinions that offer clues as to why he is so critically acclaimed.
