...original points.Cutsie? I have no idea what you're talking about nor do you with that reference. Nowhere in my remarks here or elsewhere can you find traction for it. And I think you know better. Nasty little foul.
I watch as many films as you do and 95% of them are ex-U.S. I took up defense of Hollywood types simply to point out the excessiveness of your claim: "Where are the talented young actors in this country and why has Denmark become such a treasure trove of superb acting? I don't think we have one actor the match of any of these six."
In a 30 second sweep of my memory I named a number of American contemporaries of equal talent and accomplishment, at least. Then your dancing started.
What is the superb Danish acting treasure trove you refer to? The one that stands apart in comparison to the youngsters from Hollywood. Name them.
And, honestly, do you really want to stand by that last sentence, which, contrary to your continued revisionism, includes several elders.
Watch What Doesn't Kill You, with Ruffalo and a "young" American cast. It mines a very similar emotional territory as Brothers and is every bit the quality of film and performances.
If I thought it would be appreciated I'd name others worthy of inclusion in an earnest discussion of this matter, filling an obvious gap in your knowledge. I prefer, however, to do more than "soldier" on.
