robinson, apparently tired, punched fairly well and rocked jake right to his heels. come on, ray. a director and actor finds a story at the right time and the right place. and out comes this amazing combination of cinematic virility and absolute fear. it s like watching an animal. i think raging bull is a great title. and the film fulfills the promise. the reality of the boxing and the great slow motion, all of the black-and-white gore, the violence of the flash bulbs going off. when he designed the movie, marty, he purposefully didn t put a clutch on the film. there s no clutch. hey, ray, you never went down, ray. you never got me down, ray. raging bull is a boxing movie for people who don t like boxing movies, but it s really not about that. it s about this man, jake, based on a real person, who s really at war with himself. come on. harder. harder. i didn t really understand boxing, but the character was interesting. he was just so contr
i begged you to get some therapy. tootsie is an updating of a guy in the dress. you are taking a believable character and putting him in a fantastic situation. and yet the reason it works is because every single thing in that movie could really happen. we show you at the beginning, he is a great actor. he happen to be a pain in the ass. to prove to his agent he can get work, he puts on the dress. it is almost like a play that has been performed enough so that they knew where the gems were. don t you find being a woman in the 80s complicated? extremely. one of the hardest things to do in a comedy is have a comedy climax and have all of your story threads come together in the same moment. the daughter of dwayne and alma kimberly. the reckless brother of my
Incredibly dark film about capitalism and selling out. for somebody with that limited a resume, to be able to kind of walk in, and actually make the complexity of the movie work, his all american boyness. you think that guy will be a huge star. what people don t realize about top gun, we think of it as an action movie. but the movie tom cruise was making is a very serious drama about a man wrestling with his dad s legacy. phoning it in for these military guys he is trying to impress. it is really a movie about masculine performance. his decision post top gun really tells you who he is and who he wanted to be. you are some piece of work. you are also a natural character. that is what i have been saying to her.
