That is where TRUE acting resides. Film acting is an exercise in editing as much if not more so than ability.The theater is also a far better and more intellectual form of artistry than film. I, not long ago, viewed a one person play (The Shape of a Girl) that ran for about 70-80 minutes. This young girl on a spartan stage manages to evoke feeling of cathartic proportions that few - very few films can muster. And this is hardly some big name known play. The play was and still is geared as an anti-bullying message but non-preachy.
There is life to the stage to the play that no dead film screen can provide -- unfortunately the play needs an intelligent audience who have imagination as they are required to give of themselves in viewing. Given the fast growing Jerry Springer community it's a shame that the play is dwindling while Ace Ventura Pet Detective rakes in hundreds of millions.
