i had my midterm this morning. showed up with less than 4 hours of sleep and a banging headache but i pulled through. slept almost the entire day but somehow the headache is still haunting me 🫩 what better way to treat myself than to watch a classic the two types of actors i have the most respect for: the ones that deliver their performance with their voice, and ones that deliver their performance with their body. to capture the emotions and intentions of a character purely through one of those mediums and catch your audience's attention and have them understand it, is a skill... most mainstream actors haven't honed (damn people might come for me but i said what i said) an entire film with just rotating music in the background. no dialogue, entirely black and white, no CGI, no dramatic props, no dramatic stunts. a simple story with just bodily movements and raw emotions. and you know what? somehow this simplicity has become a lost art.
