the character is as 2 dimensional as can be. his dialogue isn't challenging and it doesn't require any depth or internal strife. there isn't a wrong way to represent the character. you go in, be big and over the top so children think you are menacing -- but not horrifying, and call it a day. that's it. and that is all Levitt said. I hate to break it to you, but not thinking Cobra Commander is a role that requires any semblance of seriousness doesn't make
him
the jackball.
and just because you
feel
something doesn't make you correct or beyond reproach. that is just a cop-out for not being logical. feelings can be based on misperceptions, and thus the feelings don't apply to what is actually true.
I think you trying to understand the way creating a character for an audience to enjoy and connect with is rather cute.But, again...swing and a miss. Is this 3 now?
I got news for ya, you're dissertation of my opinion of the video I posted is so utterly and completely wrong. If it didn't take actors some time to construct a persona for any given choice of role, we wouldn't have the great Joker from Jack Nicholson.. We wouldn't have Indiana Jones.. and we wouldn't have such a lively character like Jack Sparrow.The irreverence you show to these actors skills is astonishing.
The mere fact that an actor like Johnny Depp took a robot ride and turned into a major 3 piece blockbuster with a
character
that people talk about years after is proof enough that any role needs to be taken seriously. Though I do think that you may wanna take your opinions on how "acting gets done" and compare it to
real live movie
studios. Maybe it won't just be me who's getting a good chuckle over it. And you may learn something.
Anyway, I think Joe Levitt needs to hope this movie does well so he infact gets a more screen time seeing as the big D will be our enemy front an center.
