I've only seen 35 of these but that's not a surprise since I mostly prefer to watch older movies.

Yeah, I thought you were saying that concluding that there was no "higher" meaning was the problem. That our lives have to have some sort of higher purpose than, to keep it movie related, Live, Die,...

No, Jinn, I definitely didn't mean that you had implied anything religious or deity-related, just that that is another place people (many, if not most) find themselves on the path to "meaning". In...

Hm. Well, that's an interesting take to me. All I can say is, I don't feel it. Like I said, my interpretation of the exact same thing is that Miller saw that the character was completed but wanted...

Wait, wut?
If we're comparing Hardy to Brando now, I'm just gonna bow out of this discussion.
If not, I will say that I respectfully disagree that Hardy is better than the actors you mention. ...

Now you've really surprised me.
Virtually no acting takes place in that entire scene. It's a long series of stunts with some wide-eyed surprise thrown on for "emotion". His stunt-double could have...
