    Tony Scott: "Look he's a white guy who thinks he's black, and he's a pimp."
    Gary Oldman: "I'll do it."
    Fucking legend.

      Gary Oldman as 'Drexl Spivey' is one of his top favorite characters! He accepted to part on hearing " "you play a white guy who thinks he's a black pimp. " I'll do it!" I keep replying that part over and over.

      I think Smiley WAS hands down his best performance. He carried the whole movie by just being quietly menacing with the slightest eye movements and subtlest nuances in his voice. it was mind-blowing. Far more difficult than other crazy psycho villain / famous historical figure roles which are, at the end of the day, not that hard to pull off for an actor of his chameleon skills.

      The upshot is he finally won an Oscar, for his incredible performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. The downside is this should be like his 5th or 6th Oscar win and should have had multiple Oscar nominations going back to the 1980s. Oldman should’ve won for Tinker Tailer, but The Artist seemed to be the favorite that year. That is if we thought the Academy Awards were truly honoring the best in film every year.

    • @ChrisHewittMedia
      @ChrisHewittMedia 4 роки тому +3

      You have to campaign in order to be nominated for an Oscar, like running for office. It's self driven. I don't think Oldman really cared too much about it back in the day. Now that actors are like 'brands' and surrounded by yes men, their people campaign for them and so everyone is nominated for anything these days it seems.

    Oldman is one of those rare actors that's never full of himself and realizes movies are what they are for the most part, just a job. One that he happens to be very very good at but he knows at the end of the film he's still just Gary Oldman, playing someone else. One of the truly great character actors of his generation.

    • @LittleB2007
      @LittleB2007 6 років тому +19

      I agree. When he thanked America for giving him "livelihood" at the Oscars, I was kinda taken aback because you seldom see that kind of humbleness in Hollywood stars. He loves his job, excels at it, enjoys it and is grateful for it. Down-to-earth and awesome guy.

      I find it fascinating how so many great actors have completely different approaches to playing a character on the one hand you have someone like Daniel Day Lewis who never breaks character even when he’s not shooting and on the other you’ve got Gary Oldman whose just Gary playing a character but they’re both amazing.

      My opinion of the movie as a whole is mixed, but he was great in it. I totally understand his disinterest in looking back at work he did decades ago, though. To him he probably just sees a much less experienced and inferior version of himself now.

    Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, is one of those slow burns. I think I loved that movie the most out of all the others, although I'm a sucker for slow burns, namely Solaris, and No Country for Oldmen. A film that moves along so slowly, almost like molasses. i cry inside every time i'm reminded that I never got to see Star Trek The Motion Picture in Theaters.

    This is such a cool to see. I've actually been a fan of his since before I even saw him in a movie, lol. That's because I started bingeing movie review books when I was a preteen, and I noticed an actor named Gary Oldman who always got amazing reviews. In my late teens I finally got to start watching his films, starting with True Romance. And it was like a dream come true when he played my favorite Harry Potter character, Sirius Black.
