LawrenceA Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Jessica Lange, Frances and Tootsie I looked at that three times before I realized it was 2 separate movies. My brain is slow today. Frances and Tootsie sounds like something from the '30's starring Glenda Farrell and Joan Blondell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrat Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 1982 really had a lot of outstanding performances, especially if The Year of Living Dangerously moves Linda Hunt into this year. Linda Hunt and Glenn Close (The World According to Garp) would be on a very short list of the best supporting performances of the decade. Sophie's Choice is one of Meryl Streep's finest achievements, and Ben Kingsley, Paul Newman, and Dustin Hoffman are perfectly reasonable choices for best actor. In addition, I'm absolutely bonkers about Julie Bovasso's performance in The Verdict, and Lindsay Crouse is also very fine in that movie. The Verdict is like heroin for the plaintiffs' bar, and your lawyer friends can explain everything that is wrong and dishonest about the film, but it is very well executed. Paul Newman and Charlotte Rampling are quite convincing as alcoholic lovers. That part of the story rings true, even if the treachery of James Mason & Co. is ridiculous. Missing is one of my favorite films of the year. If this is intended as an expose of the Pinochet regime, what Costa-Gavras actually shows is something that strikes me as even more profound: both leftist son and right-wing dad are completely convinced that nothing bad can happen to them because they are Americans. Daughter-in-law Sissy Spacek is the one who knows better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Best Actor of 1982 1. PAUL NEWMAN (Francis "Frank" P. Galvin), The Verdict Newman got my nod for the best lead performance by an actor in 1982 for The Verdict. I also happen to think it is his best career performance. Galvin has been tossed a 'sweet' case by his pal Mickey, who is played by Jack Warden. It is a case of medical negligence and one that Galvin should settle out of court quickly as his clients wish. But he doesn't do the smart thing, goes to court and his case quickly dissolves around him. It seems to have reaffirmed to everyone and himself that he is a loser. He has to tilt his head toward his whiskey glass because his hands shake so much. In his best scene, Galvin has a panic attack and has to retreat to a bathroom to compose himself. He can barely breath he is so gripped with anxiety. These are terrific bits of flawed character for Newman to chew on. So, the question is will he crawl out of the bottom of the barrel and redeem himself. You betcha. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the question is will he crawl out of the bottom of the barrel and redeem himself. You betcha. I have to agree with you, Bogie. I saw The Verdict a few months ago for the first time. A beautiful performance by Newman, with that bathroom scene to which you made reference a standout for me, too. As fine a performance as I've ever seen him give. Great, too, to see James Mason as his slick, manipulative "Prince of Darkness" opponent in the courtroom. I'm glad these two wonderful actors had the opportunity to share scenes together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skimpole Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 More great quotes from 1982: Gandhi Lord Hunter: General, did you realise there were children – and women – in the crowd? Gen. Dyer: I did. Government Advocate: But that was irrelevant to the point you were making? Gen. Dyer: That is correct. Government Advocate: Could I ask you what provision you made for the wounded? Gen. Dyer: I was ready to help any who applied. Government Advocate: General, how does a child, shot with a .303 Lee Enfield, "apply" for help? Blade Runner It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does? Missing Consul Phil Putnam: Listen, Mr Horman, I wish there was something we could say or do. Ed Horman: Well, there's something I'm going to do. I'm going to sue you, Phil. And Tower and the Ambassador and everybody who let that boy die. We're going to make it so hot for you you'll wish you were stationed in the Antarctic. Consul Phil Putnam: Well, I guess that's your privilege. Ed Horman: No, that's my right! I just thank God we live in a country where we can still put people like you in jail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Blade Runner is another film that failed to make much of impact upon initial release, but has since gone on to not only cult adoration but critical acclaim, frequently cited as one of the most influential films of the 1980's. The highly-atmospheric combination of noir sensibilities with SF dystopia made for some indelible screen imagery. But the film wouldn't have quite the staying power without the performances. Harrison Ford is perfect as Deckard, the world-weary "blade runner" (assassin) of the title. Regardless of the version you see, with or without the contested voice-over. Ford anchors the film, even getting a chance to show his comic chops during a brief scene undercover. Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty, the leader of the fugitive "replicants" (genetically-engineered humanoids), stands as one of the towering figures in SF film history. At once beautiful and terrifying, oozing menace with a look, or generating pathos with a wry smile, he does quite a bit with relatively little screen time. Hauer's acting career never topped this role, although he's continued to work to this day. This performance will possibly stand as my favorite Supporting Actor turn of the decade. Daryl Hannah is an actress of decidedly limited range, especially at this point in her career. But she (and director Ridley Scott) make perfect use of her physicality in the role of Pris, another of the fugitive replicants, and she has moments of innocence, playful danger, and even psychotic rage. William Sanderson, as J.F. Sebatian, shares most of his scenes with Hannah and Hauer. As an engineer that helps create and design the replicants, he's both infatuated and terrified by them in person. His performance makes great use of small gestures and eye-work. He would go on to semi-fame as a recurring actor on TV's Newhart, as well as other film and TV projects. Brion James plays Leon, another of the replicants. A frequently seen heavy in films and TV, James gets more dialogue than usual for his career at this point, and he uses it to great effect, seeming buffoonish and intimidating sometimes in the same scene. James would later be diagnosed with cancer which he overcame, then landing his largest role in Robert Altman's The Player, although sadly the cancer would return and James would pass in 1999 at the age of 54. Other members of the cast, including Sean Young, M. Emmet Walsh, Edward James Olmos, Joe Turkel, James Hong, and Joanna Cassidy, all give memorable performances as well, and I couldn't recommend the film more highly, even for those usually averse to science fiction movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrat Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 A word about Shoot the Moon: this film leaves me with mixed emotions. It's well directed by Alan Parker and well acted by everyone in the film. My choice for best juvenile performance of 1982 would be Dana Hill as the only person who tries to be a responsible adult, even though she's twelve or maybe even younger. Albert Finney leaves his wife (Diane Keaton) and three daughters for another woman (Karen Allen). That pushes us toward sympathizing with his wife, but she forfeits our (or at least my) sympathies quickly when she refuses to face her responsibilities for her children and lets her oldest daughter try to be the adult. She then decides to build an expensive tennis court. Unfortunately, the script doesn't let us know how wealthy these characters are: is this a crazy extravagance or well within the budget? This detail matters. The wife then becomes attracted to a hunky guy (Peter Weller) who's building the tennis court. Shoot the Moon has one truly great moment: the look of shock on Diane Keaton's face when her blue-collar boyfriend beats up her husband. Nothing could show the class and cultural divide more clearly. In the wife's world, people don't resort to fisticuffs when they have differences. I recommend Shoot the Moon to anyone who hasn't seen it, but the essential question is how much one likes a totally believable, well-crafted film about two not very likable people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
