How do two independent filmmakers like the Safdie Brothers, with strong street casting roots, come to cast actors like Adam Sandler and Robert Pattinson in their movies? Let's break it down.
Written & Edited by Danny Boyd - Krátké a kreslené filmy
What are some other unexpected casting choices in movies that you think really paid off?
Vince Vaughn in Brawl in Cellblock 99. Its amazing how I couldn't buy Vaughn as an intimidating presence in True Detective Season 2 and yet he completely sold me with his work in Cellblock 99.
The biggest one of all time was Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight. When Christopher Nolan was preparing to direct The Dark Knight in 2006, there was a lot of controversy of that Heath Ledger was a teen throb and no one thought he could pull off being a menace to society. After he died on January 22, 2008, no one was ready to see what was unleashed on screen that gave it the best performance of all time. Other actors like Keanu Reeves in Speed was another contender as well as Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man and Michael Keaton as Batman from 1989. All I can say is don't judge by what an actor wants to do to give its best performance. I think Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind was risky in my opinion but it really paid off what Jim can do with leaving his comedic roots to the side and his dramatic side we don't get to see. It was such a great movie.
I'm always amazed that Kristen Stewart played Princess Diana in Spencer, she's incredible in that and was also unexpected for the same reasons as Robert Pattinson.
i find it really difficult coz very often when casting is unexpected to me, pattinson in batman for example *cough* when i see the thing, it suddenly makes perfect sense. like, given nolan's movies and also batfleck, i just didn't think that bruce wayne suited him at all, but when i saw the movie, casting him made perfect sense.
good time was actually less surprising, given a familarity with his previous projects. the surprise to me was that it was successful.
Jonah Hill in Maniac. (But maybe that's just cause I'd never seen him in a drama before?)
He could have easily cashed in on his Twilight fame but chose to do more indie stuff, that alone shows he wants to challenge himself and do something different.
He didn't even like those movies
The twilight ones
@@Nation_of_Imagination which ones? the twilight ones?
@@completelytransparent6320 idk pal,read the next comment
@@Nation_of_Imagination was trolling like the meme where its like do you like squidward yes well you should watch spongebob cause hes in it
It’s always a little special to get through a film and not recognize any actors. Extra immersion
Where Amsterdam failed
'special' alright ;)
This
@@kassandrad3230That movie failed because of the director, not the cast
Yeah, cause no one knows who Adam Sandler is, lol
Robert Pattinson is such and interesting and eccentric actor, it’s sad how misunderstood he he is as an actor. What he did with The Devil All The Time and The King was just so risky but his performance pays off so much. The fact he’s always able to see how flawed the character he’s gonna play is and then he plays into it even more. (Just genius) He doesn’t take himself so seriously and that’s what’s makes him so interesting, because Robert loves acting like he doesn’t know what he’s doing and how he don’t think he can act.😂 Robert Pattinson is one of the most interesting, fun and dynamic actors working rn.
Well, is he really that misunderstood? He's getting cast in all kinds of different movies right now, which is a form of appreciation in it self. Maybe he is misunderstood by the most casual fans who just know the biggest movies, but they wouldn''t notice more complex qualities of actors anyway...
he was great in Damsel, perfectly hate able, hilarious, and played with such charm
His French laugh in The King movie where both kings are speaking to each other on the eve of battle is hilarious and genius 😂.
@@geronimo8159 Lots of people still only saw him as the twilight guy up until The Batman's release
I fucking love the king
Good Time was the reason why Robert Pattinson was cast as Batman in The Batman according to Director Matt Reeves. His version is inspired by Kurt Cobain from the band Nirvana as Matt Reeves wanted a grungy look on his Batman. I couldn't believe Rob pulled it off as Batman after I saw The Lighthouse and Tenet. He's a great actor now than when he was almost 15-20 years ago.
He was a great actor then too, he just picked a bad series of movies
@@CredibleCommenter True
@@isaiahvoss I get what you mean though, imagine traveling back to the height of the Twilight phenomenon and telling people that _any_ of the actors involved would give one of the best DC Comics performances of all time, you would be laughed out of reality, yet here we are. Good for him, he’s really carved out an amazing career for himself.
Nolan casted him in Tenet after watching Good Time too.
20 years lol
I’m so glad he’s been able to turn his career around. He’s the definitive live action humanistic Batman (Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy, the definitive Batman)
I agree. His Batman is very human like compared to all the other iterations we had over the years.
@@isaiahvoss I agree! Though I meant humanistic, meaning valuing humans and compassion. That’s the arc of the whole movie imo
😶 it’s Batman dawg just cause he voiced him in a lot of games and shows doesent mean he’s the true batman
@@willlamoureux1690 Conroy was a voice to a whole generation, people say he's the definitive Batman because his performance was arguably the most iconic we've ever got. It's his voice that most people hear as they read comicbooks, he had an everlasting impact in the character and its mythos
I'd have to counter saying, while I may agree he's probably the Batman that showed his human side the most, to be fair, the story was told with a younger Batman than any others have done, therefore he's less controlling of his emotions. I wouldn't say it was BECAUSE of Robert Pattinson that he was so emotive but rather the script, and to top it off he's an absolutely terrible Bruce Wayne. Most actors who take up a superhero role must not portray one but TWO characters ex: Peter Parker vs Spiderman.
The Lighthouse definitely isn't for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. I never really had reason to assume Pattinson couldn't act (hadn't seen Twilight, not into Batman, hadn't heard of any other projects of his, & anyway I try to always assume people can impress) ... but he absolutely BLEW ME AWAY with his performance, not just in a "Wow dude can act" way but in a "Wow dude can act on a level most people absolutely can't" way. He's BRILLIANT. I'm thrilled he's been deliberately going for ambitious roles & I'm excited to see what he does in the future.
10000% agree. One of the most dialogue-focused films I've ever seen. Both Pattinson and and Dafoe were unreal!
@@bridgetrose9407 Indeed, I was absolutely stunned by Dafoe's performance too! Already knew he was extraordinary but that movie went beyond most any form of most arts I've ever seen
Hatman came out 3 years after the Lighthouse anyway
@@mithras666 Idk what that has to do with anything. I've never even heard of Hatman & only saw The Lighthouse recently so my comment didn't imply anything about it or allude to it. ???
Very belated edit: Omg it was a typo for Batman all along wasn't it lol. Still don't get the point but at least I get that now 😂
The lighthouse is fking incredible
good casting > good actors.
good casting + good actors = magic.
It’s so wild to me people HATED the performances in twilight to the point of branding Rob and Kristen as the “worst actors ever” when they legitimately did a PERFECT job portraying the characters they were hired to play. R-patt has always been vocal about his disdain for Edward and Twilight as a whole but he’s always been amazing at completely embodying characters.
I know right? I read the books cuz I'd heard so much about them and generally enjoy vampire stuff . The books were cringe and the movies reflected that exactly!! The actors did what they were supposed to . It's a shame when an audience can't grasp that fact.
What else can one expect from a bunch of people that read those books and thought they were good enough they would go see a movie based on them?
People who read the books and liked them failed to realize that the major characters were actually nothing more than husks... whats more, it's intentional. The major characters are intended for you to place your own persona onto them, so that you may live vicariously. The descriptions are vague and used sparingly enough that they may be ignored. The character motivations are flat enough and basic enough that they can simply be thought of as things that are happening to the characters, rather than the result of anything the characters choose. Turns out, that doesn't work as well when you are constantly reminded the character in fact is not you, when you see their face in every scene. It is even harder when you are faced with the reality of how the characters are actually written, rather than how you mapped your own persona onto them.
The vampire theme was worn out even then but .. I liked Twilight (and Queen of the Damned). Both had hella good soundtracks and interesting plots. Uncut Gems and Good Time .. very good flicks
They are some of the worst actors out there. As proven by twilight and everything else they were casted in.
A few years ago i read an article or something where Rob said that when he first read the book and the script he immediately hated Edward Cullen. So he decided to play him the way he interpreted him: A boring 100+ year old virgin vampire who hates himself. He did it perfectly! You really have to hate yourself to keep doing highschool over and over again for decades.
I feel like Robert Patterson has done such an amazing job at avoiding being typecast as "that guy from Twilight". I also love the way he presents himself on camera, as a real person and a character in a movie.
As a huge fan of Twilight, we were all so happy to see people drop their preconceived ideas about him and see just how amazing he is. Ever since the Twilight I've been hoping to see him in way more things
Of course he's been Vocal about it. His PR TEAM knows people hate him for it. Distancing himself from that role by saying "Even I hate the film" gets the dumb masses to accept him as a more serious actor, even though he always was one. The game of fame always caters to the stupidest of the stupid because that's what makes the most $$$.
@@Mutiny960 Nobody hates him for acting in Twilight lol, they just were surprised when he did a better role. You have some insane disdain and skepticism for him, his publicists, and fans of all media.
@@Shiftarus Whoever does NOT have disdain for the plague of vultures that are the Hollywood Media engine has got to have some sort of mental disability. The mountain of historical evidence is overwhelming.
Even if you only look at them covering up for *apists and pedos for DECADES, while doing hate pieces against those who tried to speak out about it. I'm surprised you can even read this paragraph.
i think what they did with a mix of both in uncut gems was flawless . have the lead be a professional & majority of the supports be real people & it’s gold .
Yeah and Uncut Gems felt like such a real and stressful movie too. Like it was so busy and all the supporting actors just being themselves really sold it as a 'real' story. And even Adam Sandler's character doesnt feel like it's Adam Sandler, just a sleazy jeweler and gambling addict. The movie just put you on the edge of your seat where you wanna turn it off because it's so stressful, but you also don't want to turn it off because it's so chaotic and real. Like it's just happening to someone out there rn in real life.
I was a teenager when Twilight came out and it wasn't as terrible as people say(the first one), it was kinda fun to watch and had really great soundtracks and the director for movie killed it and it was obvious Pattinson is a high level actor, the role he plays is cheesy and but he was clearly playing the character as best as anybody can and I always knew he's gonna be successful, people who were surprised that he's Actually a great Actor are just naive, just because the movie became a meme it didn't mean he's a bad actor, of course they shit on him for becoming Batman as much as they could but he was clearly gonna silence people.
Especially the first one is a great piece of Americana in a way.
And Pattinson brought a lot to that role even though he didn't have much creative freedom.
it's okay to be a feminine boy
Hating everything a teenage girls like used to be a huge thing,it's the reason why a lot of people blindly hating on it
@@megadoodoo3194 I mean, from an objective standpoint they are very mediocre movies, and their insane popularity despite this mediocrity was truly the preview for how the film industry was going downhill in the early 2010s to become what it is now
@@jeffe1023 for all of their mediocrity they did have more soul than the average Marvel movie at least
Pattison's best acting is evident in (a) David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis and (b) The Lighthouse. Both incredible movies, watch if you haven't
His best acting is in Devil All the Time, The King, Good Time, The Batman, and Tenet.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 no one agreed with you
@@lukemate2783 everyone agrees with me
He's impressive in The Rover (2014) and High Life (2018) as well. Check them out if you haven't already.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 obvisouly not if you only got 2 likes and the original comment ratio’d you into another dimension
Man I love these brothers’ films. They really know how to raise your anxieties and surprise us with unusual casting that always turns out perfect.
I remember my friend telling me she couldnt finish one of his films because she felt THAT anxious and i also remember thinking wow those guys are so incredibly talented to craft stories that can affect people that much
@@laneythelame I went into "Heaven Knows What" not really knowing anything about it at a film festival, the showing was very early in the afternoon and I couldn't help but feel depressed the whole day. It's a really bleak film, yet beautifully crafted
Pattinson is my favourite actor today. Feels like the old-school Hollywood actors. A unique personality, without your typical look or demeanour, and of course just a phenomenal actor. Brings something different to the screen.
Stephen Graham, Tom Hardy, Jake Gyllenhaal are slightly ahead
He's tall, dark and handsome, so not really that unusual
@@samsummer8382 Disagree. Stephen Graham is fantastic too, but they’re not doing nearly as much for more independent, forward-pushing cinema.
@@jj-if6it He’s got an undoubtedly unique look.
And he’s very pale, relatively fair and actors aren’t usually tall anyway so I’m not sure your argument is even based in fact.
@@7somekindofsomething lol
The thing is... Twilight never made Robert a bad actor, he had to do what the script and character asked him to do and he did it 🤷🏻♀️
Not to mention, his disdain for the Twilight Saga from the very beginning was no secret.
Robert is one of the best actors of this generation hands down. He's done these niche weird indie films because he's proving his talent & range - i.e. challenging himself - what us actors do.
Proud to see actors still doing that, taking on what would be considered “write offs” for established actors, and challenging themselves and seeing if they could pull off certain characters that they normally wouldn’t attempt outside their comfort zone.
@@SpencerLSimmons exactly sire.
For me, Robert's performance in The Rover was absolutely fantastic. He played a broken and naive character, very different from his Twilight persona. In The Rover, his performance was so pure - you felt for the character and wanted him to survive. That's when I called my good friend's at DC Comics and told them, "Cast this guy as Batman! GET HIM NOW. He's Hot".
RIP NM
Me like da smell ofv poo poo in me face lul haha
No mean feat to play a handicapped person, suffering a gut shot throughout the film, wrestling with being abandoned by his brother.
And so happens to be a dead-eye shot with a Saturday Night Special...
I was rooting for him an all. =]
I don’t know if anyone has seen Cosmopolis, but that’s a great performance from Pattinson that came out during the Twilight era of his career. The range that he’s praised for now is something that he’s always held, a truly great performer.
he's so amazingly good in that movie. he's been doing so many bit parts, i love it when he's given a larger canvas to play with like in good time or of course in batman. like, i think him being given time to prep and really understand the character pays off dividends and i love that the safdies saw him and were like, awwww yeah it'll be so much more exciting to fuck him up. 😆
i really dig the choices he makes for parts but i'm very worried there aren't too many interesting parts being written actually. i hope i'm wrong.
It’s amazing, with no Good Time, there would be no Batman (2022) as we know it. Matt Reeves saw an understated anger in Connie, reminding him of Kurt Cobain, which is exactly what he wanted in his version of Bruce Wayne.
There is a lot of interesting stuff being written. It’s just doesn’t get produced a lot of the time due to the nature of the market but thankfully there’s studios like A24 and directors like the Sadfies getting things made
@@mosquitopyjamas9048 technically tho if those things don't get produced they might as well not exist. or else we don't get an actor's take on those characters. not that everything needs to be a film or anything, but we hardly get original screenplays anymore at all.
I think he'll be fine. He's had the Batman, Tenet, the Lighthouse... plenty of interesting movies with great characters
This video alone will probably lead to so many unheard of actors getting roles so I am in full support of this video and I'm proud of you for making it
That’s a very profound thought. Never thought about it that way, but I certainly hope that’s true :)

@@asmith9554 speech to text . My fault. I am disabled and have no hands over here .
absolutely love the safdie’s approach when it comes to casting for authenticity in their films. just picked up the criterion release for daddy longlegs and it was much of the same approach casting-wise. the fact that they were able to cast 2 real brothers and their mom with no acting experience just shows how much faith they have in each other’s direction. i really love how that is never conflated with arrogance and that they separate that confidence from ego. absolutely love these guys.
speaking of criterion and films with non actors, i checked out sean baker’s film “take out” the other day and it was that same underground, chaotic feel the safdies tend to have! if you like these guys you should definitely check it out. almost everyone working in the restaurant the film is set in are real employees in it, and all the delivery customers were non actors told to react how they would in real life just based on 30 seconds of observing their personalities!
i love that you've sold me on and discussed these films, without spoiling any of them !!!
As someone who street casts for a living, thank you for making this video & shining a light on what we do.

"to make an unmistakeable celebrity vanish" damn im subbed bro that was beautifully put. that's exactly the draw of the movie, it's relatable in a way, to be the cultures outcast but living a beautiful story is very relatable. \ i know this life shit can be beautiful and we all "vanish" at it's peak beauty

What's the one at the end
Bruh thanks! Was looking as a crazy dude for it
I hate when people are so narrow minded when it comes to actors. We all have to start somewhere. Look deep enough into someone's work, and you'll see shitty projects they had to take for the sake of getting started, and needing the money. You get a lead role, that offers an entire franchise of installments, guaranteeing you a lot of money and recognition, and you're not going to take it? Bffr. Yeah, you'll always to some degree be known as "that person from that popular thing," but you will get more roles, especially if you work hard enough and find the right connections to directors/writers/producers who see your potential and drive.
Sup
Theres a reason Sandler looks so good for his age and I think it's because he always did gigs he wanted to do and enjoyed doing. Never forced himself to do a role he didnt think he would not enjoy playing. Glad he got some recognition from Uncut Gems.
Good Time and Uncut Gems are both some of my favorite films and Pattinson in Good Time is an electric revelation. If you haven’t seen these movies, you need to
Robert Pattison is a talented actor and Twilight was an injustice to his abilities.
This was my favourtie actor comeback. So glad all those people gave him a chance, he's truely a master of his craft and I can't wait to see what Robert does next. Great video!
God Uncut Gems was such a good movie.
Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) does this masterfully in all her movies. Much like Heaven Knows What, The Rider tells a true story and stars the man whose story it is. It's a real gem and you should check it out if this kind of film making appeals to you.
As a matter of fact, I made a whole video on her and her films, talking about exactly that. You might enjoy it. It’s actually my most popular video.
@@CinemaStix I'll definitely check it out!
Good Time is one of the best films I've EVER seen. I was so surprised by what it was, it captivated me right off the bat. The disbelief suspends itself in that one, and the experience suspends you for the whole duration. + For a long, long time I haven't been genuinely shocked by a movie, but a couple of scenes in Good Time... man, what they did to that security guard at the fairground; his shrieks and 'speaking in tounges' still haunt me.
Great synopsis. I have yet to see any of the Safdie brothers' films and looking forward to it. Thanks.
Every time you post, I watch - I love what I learn from your videos and how you present them
I’m so glad! I really enjoy making them. I’d probably do it even if no one were watching. But I’m glad people are, and are taking something away from them :)

Uncut Gens has panic attack energy
So glad I subscribed to your channel. Amazing and consistent content.

Both movies are so special. and so are you videos CinemaStix
Great video. He is my favorite actor and has been for a long time. I am so so happy he is getting the respect he deserves. I want to see him in another smaller production soon.
He was literally so good as batman. The spoilt rich kid, grungy, vibes were so perfect. Absolutely fantastic.
the whole time I was watching, “Josh Safdie’s muse in Uncut Gems” was on repeat in the back of my head
Glad i watched this guys other work. The king, the lighthouse, such great acting.
Ty for sharing these movies. I'm gonna watch them all now. :D
This video gave me goosebumps, while not seeing any of these movies or even knew who the Safdie brother's were. Looks like it's a good time to start. I've always stayed away from the movies that garnish realism into portrayal when most of us live with our own demons, why would you willingly place yourself back in those environments unless you have made it out of whatever hole you've dug yourself into, unless it's to remind you of how far you've come or it relates to your situation so you feel less alone.
I've always shared the same sentiment
Spot on editing, music choice and narration! I never tire of your style.
And 93.2K subs as of this comment - I'll be very surprised if you don't reach the 100K marker before the end of the year! It's amazing how your channel has grown in such a short time, so congratulations!
Thank you! The music in this one was a big experiment because of the use of lyrics, but I think it worked out pretty well. And I know, it’s unbelievable how it’s all been going. If I get to 100K, I won’t even mind if it stops there. I’ll be beyond proud.

tbf robert pattinson has done a great job distancing himself from his days on twilight, hes played some great roles in recent years
i think that’s smth good actors always do. they don’t fall back on the role that made them big and they try to better themselves. idk if i put this in the best of words but i watched a christian bale interview as well as one robert pattinson himself did and they said kind of what i mean to say better
I love when first time actors can immerse you in their character because you don’t know them outside that character. I love when longtime actors show you a different side to what they do. There’s still so much for film to explore.
This video feels like it ends before it gets to the point it’s trying to make
Good Time is one of my "profound" movies. A movie that stuck with me. He plays its so genuinely dispicable and unlikeable, and yet you somehow feel for him as well. Like things could be different for that guy (and guys like him) if his past was just a little different. Some people just seem to have a fate of destroying themselves but all it could have taken to change that was just some moment in the past.
Out of curiosity what other films are your "profound" ones if you don't mind saying? I loved Good Time and maybe you have some film suggestions that I've not seen yet? Doesn't have to be anything like 'Good Time', I'm just interested in the other ones that stuck with you?
@@comment15 same here
@@comment15 Contact, Mother, Into the Wild, Another Year, Elle, would be ones that come to mind for me. All really different in style to Good Time but profound in their own ways. Good Time is incredible though - my favourite film.

Safdies are some of the realest directors out there today... keeping cinema alive one reel at a time.
The feeling this movie provides is simply unmatched
Bravo brother. Excellent essay and edit.
:)
"Uncut Gems" and "Good Time" - - I've seen it multiple times over and never got bored, not even once. That's rare for me.
Once I saw The Rover, I knew there was more to Robat Battenson that meets the eye.
Love the Safdie Brothers!! Also had no idea Pattinson’s real voice sounded like this- makes his performance in Good Time even better
awesome videos. good time is one of my all time favorites
Extremely smart studio. Looking forward to their future.
I literally couldn’t watch Uncut Gems because of how good of a job they did immersing me. I felt so much anxiety watching him gamble his life away and watching awful situations occur because it felt so real. They actually did too good of a Job In my case.
I've only seen uncut gems, but it felt so visceral and beautiful in its atmosphere (in spite of being what I'd call a dark movie). I need to dig into more of their works.
Good Time is a very good movie
Good Time is a very good movie

Good Time is like watching a real person live out a D&D campaign
whats the song at the end??
found it
bird cry - iso indies
Solid credits song choice given the context of the video.
When I saw Cosmopolis I knew Robert Pattinson was gonna be doing better films. He's much like Daniel Radcliffe in that way where after his book-saga success he decided to just do anything that sounded cool, original and weird.
I'm so happy they turned my perception of Pattinson around. I could not have thought any less of him, and now when he's in a film I don't need any other reason to go see it.
Robert Pattinson was already in Cosmopolis, The Rover, and Maps to the Stars, so it is not difficult to imagine Robert Pattinson being in 'Good Time'. In particular 'The Rover' is when people sat up and took notice. Not to take anything away from his performance in Good Time, which for me was Oscar worthy, it's just that the opening statements of this video are not true, and the Safdies were certainly not the first to give him an opportunity to spread his wings, and his trajectory was already heading this way. (He stated in an interview a long time ago how he was choosing roles based on interesting directors he liked.)
banger thanks fror the movie recommendations
dude every shot with pattinson looks phenomenal I could not see a lick of the twilight vampire in his expressions or the way he carried himself.
His roles in Harry Potter and The King were are also very well done
robert is the definition of an actor. he has done so many different roles
these producers truly embody the idea of just going with the flow, not forcing their part in the movie but rather let the movie make itself. Its like an adventure :D
to go from twilight, to good time and then the lighthouse, what a chad.
Great video!❤
Thanks!
-Danny
I have often been thinking about this more easy approach to storytelling and filmmaking. "Why should i put a light here when it wouldn´t be there in real life."
Great video!!
Pattinson had done The Rover, Cosmopolis, Maps to the Stars, The Childhood of a Leader, that Herzog movie, and a couple others that ranged from good to great performances. He is an active part of the NYC art scene. I don't think it was a complicated process.
Yo
Thank you for reminding me this. I tried remembering this movies name months ago but couldn't find it. Just knew about it vaguely
Yeah! But I know. It took me a really long time of actively talking about the movie to finally stop forgetting the title. It’s not the most descriptive.
I need to rewatch Uncut Gems and Good Times again. they were both great movies,
Just got your video through recommended. You sound like the host of How to Make Everything, Andy.
People shit on him for Twilight, but honestly no one hates Twilight more than Robert Pattinson himself. He's a brilliant actor.
I need to watch both these films ASAP 😮
Great job on the video!
:)
Tried watching Heaven Knows What like six months into my sobriety and had to stop after 15 minutes... it was like watching my previous life played back to me.
This movie didn't give me a chance to breathe
I gotta rewatch uncut gems, that ending man
this made me want to see the movie, gonna watch it tonight! thx
The apprehension and surprise around Rob's acting abilities has always said a lot more about what people think of Twilight itself (and therefore is just a projection of the people themselves) and not of Rob at all. His role as Edward was fantastically done, as a long-time of fan of Twilight can attest. People may not LIKE Edward or Twilight (including Rob himself) but Rob was perfectly cast for the role and did an amazing job. Even when he was typecast and put into Remember Me, he was amazing in that role too. He's always been great. People just shat on the movies he was in and assumed he was a bad actor, which is just. Insane. Now people think they've found some sort of insight into him -- literally just because they LIKE the movies he's in now. e_e
I believed that guy WAS his brother for around 2 hours. I was totally emersed into Good Time and didn't think about Twilight for a second 👏👏👏
I love Good Times and Uncut Gems. They feel so real
Just watched it
Thanks for reminding me this existed
Robert Pattison would've been an Oscar winner, that actor who also sings and plays piano. The actor that can play anything. But the horrible disgust that was you know what happened and the poor man got shoved aside as a lowkey romcom actor. Which is so unfair...
I grew up around guys just like that, he really nailed that role...even the part where guys who are really mentally disabled are taking wraps for crimes they really don't understand...I've seen that exact thing many times. Except usually the siblings don't care as much as Pattinsons character did in the film.
wow, this had a incredible vibe.
