....Haven't seen the film but I'm sure you're right about Von Sydow. He's a giant.
Follow Ups:
and everyone else was very good.Shoot... I'm tempted to rent Minority Report or maybe Hannah And Her Sisters just to watch him in English.
Note... after writing that I jumped over to IMDB to check out his oeuvre and when you type his name into the search engine he comes up at the top of a list of various Von Sydows and with all the amazing work he's done it says...
"1. Max von Sydow (I) (Actor, Minority Report (2002))"
"You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
Try his lawyer character in "Snow Falling on Cedars"
Could never find a reason to add it to my list... but now I will. Thanks.
"You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
Say, thanks for the music!
Haven't gotten around to it yet but it's working its way down my list.
The kid on the disc is an exceptional writer/player. He went electric with a guitar, B-3, drums power blues trio. They made a splash in the eastern US and Europe. Played with RL Burnside, Jimbo Mathus, others off of Blind Pig Records. Even had the proverbial record deal with them.Problem was he weighed about 400 pounds. A reverse Johnny Winters. The road wore him out; he had a heart attack at about 23.
Last time I heard he had married a groupie and settled down here in the area with his own doublewide. He still shows up at some of the local clubs occasionally.
Yeah, his story has been reproduced many, many times. Even I, when I lived in Georgia, knew a very popular local guitar-slinger whose many personal demons caught him by the ankles just as he was about to climb the ladder.
