watched Ray the other day-- the film on the life of Ray Charles and it got me wondering... I always thought that good acting is all in the eyes. but if that is the way it is, then why is the lead who plays the blind musician being touted as a sure fire bet for Best Male Actor at the coming Oscars.
it only goes to follow, that good acting is not just about what your eyes say, it is also about what your body language says and how your dialogue delivery works.
it is also about how close a depiction of the real life character, in this case, Ray Charles, comes through on screen.
what if the film was not based on a real life person...then what?
could Jamie Foxx have still pulled off the scores of nominations with his eyes closed?
am still mulling over this.
