>>213640795It's kind of a gamble. I really like some of the actors, while I don't.
In Lolita, for example, the lead actress is brilliant, not to mention the English playwright who falls in love with her and ruins her life. But I just can't stand Peter Sellers in that movie.I think it's a combination of the character he plays and his whole Jewish comedian act.
On the other hand, Sellers carries the entire film in Dr. Strange Love. Many people believe that his best character in this movie is Mandrake or the aforementioned doctor.For me, he's the president of the United States. I literally couldn't recognize him from the other characters. Not only is his performance completely different from the other two in the same film.
Jack Nicholson is amazing in The Shining, I don't care if people say it's a Reddit performance.
Regarding 2001, I don't think it was a film focused on the actors, it was more of a visual and technical thing.Although the actors who played the homosapiens at the beginning of the film were so brilliant that they fooled everyone into thinking they were actually monkeys and not actors.
