i think herzog is another director that is very particular about what he wants from his actors.
Herzog is such a good one to bring up! Because his films will really veer in different directions with the performances. I haven't quite figured it out. He is very okay with the audience feeling detached from the performance. So, the actor is sort of a trained animal on screen, sometimes. hahaha Sometimes a scene is like a documentary record of non-actors, many times you can see the actor beneath the performance, whether it is under- or over-performed. Maybe it isn't a uniform method, it's just the Herzog mindset, observing and choosing what it realest to him. That's great.
santaclouse said: yeah like i guess i feel like the acting in tarkovsky's films fits his films though? like bergman is definitely much more of an actor's director and his stuff allows actors to give such intense performances but the actors in tarkovsky's films fits and i’d say the lighting in bergman’s films are better than most anyone else’s because nykvist is an unrivaled master really.
I think it's important that the acting matches the film. Not every story is a story about an intense internal struggle the audience is supposed to empathize with, and sometimes actors really are best as "models" in the Bresson sense. It depends on the director's intention.
This becomes almost a sort of weird moral question. Because when you have a dream, when you are being very subjective, sometimes characters are just placeholders. It is best, it is truest to the fantasy, if they are one-dimensional. And when you hear a story, the most fascinating parts are sometimes the ones that are most idiosyncratically "fictional". When this becomes a problem is when all the directors are white males and all the one dimensional characters are the ones that happen to not be white males. This is a total digression, I'm sorry, it's just something I think about in relation to this.
But, I agree, such highly emotive actors just would not fit Tarkovsky's intensions. Funny enough, like the subjects of the painter Andrei Rublev's paintings, they are subdued in an intentional way.
David Lynch is another director where the acting occurs at different levels and is changed very deliberately. Mulholland Drive has the scene where she is practicing for some role, and her performance in the kitchen is so different from her actual audition, which is very naturalistic. The level of artifice in the acting style often signals the level of fantasy in any given scene, making you ask "Is this really happening? Should I trust what I'm seeing?"
I don't know too many directors that are that deliberate about it. I always wonder how directors are able to discover what style they prefer, and the actors who know what they are looking for. Obviously, there is some kind of organic give and take, some more successful than others.
(And I agree, Nykvist is the unrivaled master. BOUNCE THAT LIGHT!)
Drew, you're sort of right. Yellow Earth was just an okay movie. But I'd like to see it on a screen that wasn't cut off like mine was anyway.
Ps. Let me revise this a bit. I think its interesting that Yellow Earth as a movie exists. Looking at it again, you would think of all the movies that could be remade, I would love to see a remake of Yellow Earth set in the mountains of West Virginia, with a young hippie going out to collect folk songs, and the sort of culture clash that occurs. Now that, would be interesting. To me. But I'm weird. Oh well.

do you need to do all of the readings for your classes? i usually got away with half assing a lot of readings and was fine
I think I'll be ok for some of them if I don't read everything, except for my english classes, I think. I always try to start off the semester with the intentions of being studious, but it never happens.
