    Tommy Lee deserved the Oscar for his performance in 'No Country...' His acting was so quiet and soulful. It wasn't a flashy, quirky performance. The acting here simply demanded your full attention.

      With all your respect, the only brilliant person that deserved an Oscar got it, his name is Javier Braden. Tell me something, do you think Tommy or most of the actors in Hollywood could have done the acting that Javier did? I would be money, most can't. Not a whole lots of actors in Hollywood with the caliber of Brandon or Pacino. Even a great actor like Tom Hanks can't do that role.

    Charlie was a great interviewer long ago. But, he began to believe he knew more than he really did. So, he oddly began to interrupt his guests with out-of-touch comments which even made his guests frustrated. You can see it in TLJ’s face. Pure frustration.

      A bad interviewer is greedy for screen time, so they go on and on with endless questions that have no substance--just so the camera stays on them. A good interviewer does research on the guest, asks pertinent, smart, concise questions, and then gets out of the way.

      I think that if you were to consider this more like a podcast is today It becomes more acceptable. Interviewers like Sean from hot ones specifically ask questions that are going to draw out a long answer that will fill time. Skilled interviewers like Sean also specifically do not interrupt responses. I honestly think that this is more of a conversation than an interview. Now with that being said I would say that it was completely on accident when it is considered that in fact he was attempting to conduct an interview. For that point I agree with you that Charlie simply interrupts his interviewees too much.

    "Read the screenplay, understand it as well as you can, do your best to find out what the director wants to see and make it possible in every way you can for him to see it". What a powerful description of the mission of a screen actor. Thank you Mr. Jones, I for my part have seen you do it over and over again in many movies. I love the way you remain transparent or non-existent as an actor. I see your character in the story, and not Tommy Lee Jones when I watch you perform in a movie scene. I admire your talent and hard work only after the movie. Thank you really, for the wonderful time you have given me and my beloved company when watching your movies.

Lives by his own code, not really just a moral and honest local one that's all. Tommy makes us old Texans very proud as you can tell! We see some of the best qualities of ourselves in this man, he provides the rest on his own.

    I was obsessed with this man ( in a good way), lol...back in the 1990's. I devoured all of his movies over and over again. Don't ask me how many times I watched "The Fugutive" remake with him and Harrison Ford. All these years later and I still remain in awe of him. A lot of that comes fromthe mystery surrounding him. He's always stayed out of the spotlight and off the of the covers of the tabloids somehow, and I love that about him. The mystery only makes him that much more intriguing to me.

    contains some of Hemingway's

    especially about family and
    other human relationships.

He is usage of iambic pentameter, his pauses, The way he presents himself with humbleness yet with a side dish of a kick your backside and you’ll know it but he doesn’t say it. It would be an honor to me if someday I could meet him in person but find him wonderful even from afar and enjoy what he does on screen to bring us entertainment at home. I have no idea what he’s like in real life but I have a feeling that he’s just as humble and not a bigot. Thank you for your entertainment on screen for all of us. God bless stay safe and healthy

    I watched this movie because of Tommy Lee Jones and I watched it several times because it was a good movie

    This is one of those rare movie where everyone on the screen is hitting home runs. The woman in the office at the trailer park. The gas station owner. It must be a testament to the skills of the Coen brothers. Another film like this is Sling Blade

    I have watched the 1977 production of "Islands in the Stream" with George C Scott, he was great in it. Surely Tommy Lee Jones must know of it.

    Tommy Lee Jones is very humble , he’s one of the greatest, gee I am so impressed how he really do not come across as arrogant, the way he talks about Clint Eastwood’s it’s a truly sign of his genius and ways to maintain his ego grounded, so much respect for him .

    "islands in the Stream" is a great story. I sure hope Mr. Jones gets the movie made. It was once done one with George C. Scott. It was a profoundly sad movie, but the dialogue was true enough. I read it years ago when I was in the Coast Guard. Time to revisit. Time to go.

    When in the film does his character express "Blind Patriotism"? I've seen it a few times and read the book and I don't recall anything like that.

  • @innocentoctave
    @innocentoctave Před 3 lety

    Misleading title. The first third is about 'In the Valley of Elah', a largely overlooked film in which Jones also gives an outstanding performance.
