...original points.Cutsie? I have no idea what you're talking about nor do you with that reference. Nowhere in my remarks here or elsewhere can you find traction for it. And I think you know better. Nasty little foul.
I watch as many films as you do and 95% of them are ex-U.S. I took up defense of Hollywood types simply to point out the excessiveness of your claim: "Where are the talented young actors in this country and why has Denmark become such a treasure trove of superb acting? I don't think we have one actor the match of any of these six."
In a 30 second sweep of my memory I named a number of American contemporaries of equal talent and accomplishment, at least. Then your dancing started.
What is the superb Danish acting treasure trove you refer to? The one that stands apart in comparison to the youngsters from Hollywood. Name them.
And, honestly, do you really want to stand by that last sentence, which, contrary to your continued revisionism, includes several elders.
Watch What Doesn't Kill You, with Ruffalo and a "young" American cast. It mines a very similar emotional territory as Brothers and is every bit the quality of film and performances.
If I thought it would be appreciated I'd name others worthy of inclusion in an earnest discussion of this matter, filling an obvious gap in your knowledge. I prefer, however, to do more than "soldier" on.

are you purposefully being recalcitrant?
And you continue to be unfair, afilado my friend. I SPECIFICALLY specified the six actors I mentioned as being unmatched by American actors. You replied by listing a bunch of American supporting actors or leads that have made their living playing quirky/edgy, i.e. Hoffman, Keener.
I continue to smack your softballs over the fence and it is you who then change the subject or construct yet another straw man.
Danish film in the 90s was very fine, indeed. It carried on, somewhat, in the early 2000s but now seems to be in decline, as the Danes themselves now are scrambling to right what many feel is a listing national film association.
American actors are at a great disadvantage. They attend schools where a certain type of acting is taught. There is very little avant garde stage work to destroy the old and usher in a fresher acting style. So, we get mannerisms now legitimized for generations. I can't stand it.
Your need for being right, for winning (hitting "softballs" indeed) makes you less interesting.
I was hoping you'd rise above that faulty misspeak or be more entertaining and creative in recovery. Now you're just repeating yourself, becoming small and competitive in dull displays of scholarship.
You showed me nothing new.
Soldier on elsewhere.
