Good thread and one of my favorite things to talk about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrkiBCusHs0 Tommy Wiseau has almost certainly seen Rebel Without A Cause. I bring this up because Dean's petulant, moody performance was so natural it was disruptive because it was so unlike what acting was in a big picture of the time. Sam Fuller could get away with this kind of acting, but he wasn't doing big pictures for WB. However, in a movie now it looks beyond stagey (see Wiseau's homage). Even film naturalism had to be stripped away in the 60's and 70's, the idea of dialogue with spontaneous "um's" and "uh's" looks like it's from a different planet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2S2aMFcz4M Bad acting is mugging. I don't think I'm ever impressed when an actor sounds as if her lines in disbelief, or speaking directly to the audience. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Jun 9, 2014 |

Ensign_Ricky posted:Read The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero. Yes, Tommy has seen Rebel. It's a good aping of Jimmy Dean's performance. It's so high strung you wouldn't even recognize it as naturalistic now.
