Rosstin316 04/13/24 7:05:08 PM #1:	Usually when people think of amazing acting its these characters that absolutely swing for the fucking fences in every scene, but what are some examples where theyre more subdued but still captivating? I submit Warden Norton from Shawshank, dude managed to be terrifying in this scene despite his calm and reserved demeanor. Every little inflection in his expressions and tone are perfect. https://youtu.be/kKdUsJU-cQ0?si=-5Iyf8KL-8X1QQqC --- [This signature is viewable with an active GameFAQs Gold subscription.] <cite>Rosstin316 posted [p:979892764] in What are e...

furb 04/13/24 7:36:25 PM #15:	Henry Fonda and Jane Darwell at the end of The Grapes of Wrath. Look at the intensity in Henry's eyes. You feel like he is really seeing a vision in his mind. You can see it straight through his eyes into his mind. Look at Jane Darwell's expressions at 45 seconds. The confusion and motherly concern she is expresses without a word for her son as he explains why he is leaving. No special actions. Just close camera. Black and white. No music no action. One of the greatest scenes ever. https://youtu.be/i2JR3FmvVAw?si=mWhyQa46U2_kR249 --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.
