  • Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS is a quiet masterpiece that's being declared “the best picture of the year.”
    For your consideration in all categories.
    From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

    I went to an early screening of The Holdovers without any prior knowledge of what it might be about. To say I was completely enthralled by such a film would be an understatement. It brings me so much joy to see all the praise and critical acclaim it has received. It deserves nothing less.

    Ethan's statement about how British actors are better trained in getting into character and then letting go of that character reminds of the Laurence Olivier quote to Dustin Hoffman. When Dustin when method acting and tormenting himself, Olivier said "Why not try acting dear boy?"

    This was my favourite movie of last year. I remember feeling some Dead Poets vibes after so what a treat that Ethan was moderating this conversation.

    One of the details i appreciated most in Giamattis performance in Holdovers is the wqy he walks. He puts the entire foot flat on the ground instead of touching the groumd with his heel first. It makes perfect sense because of the snow. His character must have spent half his life in the snow and he's the kind of guy who just doesn't want to slip, probably did that already too many times so he walks that way to prevent himself from slipping. What a fantastic choice!

    Paul’s brilliant performance as Miles in “Sideways” had everything…it was hysterical, enthralling & sentimental.
    I watched it over the years many times, and couldn’t imagine any other performance exceeding it! Until…his astounding performance in “The Holdovers”.
    This was a master class.
    And performances of co-stars Dominic & Da’Vine were sensational.👏👏👏
    We’re rooting for Paul’s Oscar…It’s time! 🏆

    I felt the same way about Ethan in First Reformed. All the characters he had played were for him to learn his craft and better understand people to play that role.

  • @djdollase
    @djdollase 3 місяці тому +4

    Love this! And, as an actor, I enjoyed the discussion about doing the work, particularly the whole thing about building and then letting go of a character. I think Ethan’s comment about the British training is somewhat true. I don’t know that they’re particularly better trained but they are more consistently trained (if that makes sense) and there is something about the confidence of having that consistency and the greater support of a society that cherishes the theater and that long tradition that lets one feel more relaxed or easy in the work… maybe 😂

    I saw it yesterday, it really is a good movie, beautifully acted and shot, a bit slow but that is refreshing in a time where everybody’s attention span is 10 milliseconds. It indeed has that 70’s vibe somehow it made me think of blues brothers, the way it is shot the outdoors scenes. And every actor in it brings their A-game, Dominic Sessa is bizarely good, knowing now that it is his first film.

    • @chrisa0001

    I like Denzel Washington, but if he said that he must have a huge ego. Imagine thinking "the academy award is now more prestigious because I have one".

    • @chrisa0001
      @chrisa0001 3 місяці тому +2

      That is not what he said - and Ethan Hawke was paraphrasing too - Denzel was generalizing that you, or anyone, should not want an award to boost yourself - you should want the award to be legitimized by its choosing great work, actors etc. *not* Denzel Washington, himself, in particular.

    • @SoFloCo-ne4rk
      @SoFloCo-ne4rk 3 місяці тому

      He said, quoting Denzel, "you don't want the award to elevate your status, you want to elevate the status of the award". Then he said to Paul, "the award is now more prestigious because you have been nominated". It sounds like he's saying the actor is so prestigious that him receiving the award elevates the status of the award. If it was just the Denzel quote, I would agree with you, but what he said to Paul changes the meaning. Or maybe Ethan misunderstood what Denzel meant. @@chrisa0001
