Blogdayafternoon: The loneliness OF BILL MURRAY

Have you ever been to a job interview? And the loneliness one feels before it? Have you felt it too?

Have you seen a Bill Murray film the last 10 or 15 years?

Have you ever noticed he appears so lonely?

Have you ever felt like him? A Stranger in his own world?

Worried, careless, selfish, antisocial, impatient & self obsessed.

He has played a clown, a cowboy, a zombie, a president...

William James Murray was born on Illinois, gained exposure on Saturday Night Live where he did 73 episodes, then came Meatballs, Caddy shack, Ghostbusters, What About Bob? and Groundhog Day.

Murray gained critical acclaim in his career starring in Lost in Translation, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, then the indie comedy-drama Broken Flowers and a series of films directed by Wes Anderson, including Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums , The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel

Since the movie Rushmore Bill Murray became a synonym of eclectic: different plots, different directors & different scripts. But there is one common denominator in all of his latest performances...he seems lonely.

We started watching the world of Bill Murray as a hero or bigger than life SUPERSTAR. Then became aware of what kind of actor he became. We forgot the comedian to begin watching the artist.

We were expecting on each of his movies the same Bill Murray over and over again... Scrooged, Ghostbusters 2 or Quick Change....

But he chose not to do the same thing always. He started giving us hints of his drama skills. In real life he got rid of his movie agent. He has an answering machine. If he is interested he´ll call you back.

He always pauses...

The ever wondering & doubtful human.

That mystery inside all of us.

Talking to himself... or maybe to us, the audience?

The masterful craft of drama

He makes us look inside him as we take a hard look on ourselves. Finding out we are not so different.

He is a superstar he doesn´t need to make us laugh nor an OSCAR. We´ve been sharing 40 years of cinema with him.In every movie he takes us on a journey with him as his companions. He always is full of people the movie crew, the director, the cameraman but he always can share with us the loneliness on set, on a corridor, on a side walk. That is what makes his acting so natural.

Between smiles, awkward situations and lonely places. He is one of the finest actors TODAY. Maybe you like his acting maybe you don´t. But all of us have at least seen one of his films

Not every actor can make you experience what he is feeling as Bill Murray does.
