Who is that fella?

Every actor’s goal is becoming someone
Else in front of an audience
What does it take
becoming someone real?

Malcolm X, Gandhi,
El CID, etc
These are my favorite
Forget everything else
Watch the acting


Edison, The Man (1940)
Spencer Tracy became
Thomas Alva Edison
Period.
Giving a powerful performance
Of the brilliant man who brought light
To the world.

THE SCENE
As Edison
Enjoys a glass of milk
& a piece of pie.
the way he smiles
That is his happiness.

Lust for Life (1956)
Kirk Douglas as Vincent Van Gogh
The special relationship he had
With his brother Theo
We all know his art but we are not
Familiar with this legend
Being such a talented & tormented soul
At the same time.

THE SCENE
Before cutting his ear
Van Gogh watches himself
In a mirror over and over again
Trying to understand
Why he suffers so much.

The Babe (1992)
John Goodman
took a huge risk
Portraying an American icon
As Baseball legend Babe Ruth

Abandoned as a kid
Left on an orphanage to his own
To find out his unique talent
Had a price:
A life full of excesses.

As many sad characters
He just wants to be loved.

THE SCENE:
When “The Babe” can´t take
it anymore
And confronts the hole
Stadium, as the crowd
throws garbage at him.

Der Untergang (2004)
Better known as Downfall in English
Adolf Hitler Brilliantly portrayed by Bruno Ganz
on his last days
Hidden at the bunker, finding out
The thousand year reich is no more.

THE SCENE
While having a meeting at his bunker
Hitler realizes the war is lost
As he takes his glasses off,
You can see how his mind and heart
Break.
