... and we ain't talking vehicles here; this is all about being swept away by actors' sublime performances. I'm wanting to chronicle great characterizations created in live action films. While this can serve as an inspiration to all cinemaphiles, it is also intended to help animators "plus" their characters' performances by reminding us how we can delve further into a personality to mine the rich uniqueness that makes up an individual.
Physical movement - nothing more, nothing less - will be at the root of these entries. How do actors move their bodies to enhance our understanding of who they are portraying? What distinguishes cliche, derivitive overacting from a sublime piece of art? From the macro to the micro, we'll be examining everything from subtle eyebrow shifts and sighs to broad physicality. Witty dialogue and awe-inspiring camera moves are irrelevant here - it's all about the actor.
Please share any favourite physical acting moments you may have, and I'll try to track down visual support materials and URLs for the most champion efforts.
