[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 407422, member: 8"] Good point. While there are some gay aspects in DEATH IN VENICE I feel that's not really what the film is about. I've also removed MYSTERIOUS SKIN from my list because it's about child abuse and one of the characters just happens to be the gay. Not that that character isn't important, but I feel he's defined by his sociopathic behaviour rather than his sexuality (it wouldn't be much different if he wasn't gay). On the subject of the very commited actor Daniel Day Lewis, his role in THERE WILL BE BLOOD is by many people considered one of the most extraordinary acting performances in the history of film. It's that difference between playing a character and becoming a character. A few days ago I've added his film IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER to my prime list, thinking it would be about [I]that[/I] kind of "Father". But I still have to find out if that's the case. [I]Phantom Thread[/I] and [I]The Crucible[/I] are also very good. [/QUOTE]
