This is the way Gus directs his actors. Why would we want to watch another where everyone acts and same and sound exactly like they are reading from a script instead of using thier own thought process.
The actors/actresses don't suck. They're supposed to act that way to make it more relatable. Like real life. In case you didn't know Hollywood movies are more far fetched than real life. It's an artistic movie. Gus Van Sant is a very artistic director, like with the movie elephant. And let's say they are bad actors and actresses , you try because acting can be a lot harder than it looks. But sticking with my point. They're not bad. I mean take a look at Taylor Momsen and her acting in other pr
@MrJay697 Do you know what indie even means? It's not a genre. It means independent. As in, the director is independent. He's not paid a shit load of money. So, it's not a box office movie. Indie movies usually have low budgets.THAT'S what indie means. It doesn't mean the actors have to suck asshole. Most of the "indie" movies I've seen have amazing performances by great actors...And not all indie movies are works of art. You should do your research before you make stupid generalizations.
I feel like this movie had so much potential. A great director, a great book, a great script. But the actors are just so terrible. I'm very disappointed.
i think that there might be something intentional about the bad acting that is for the message of the film. after all, the movie is about someone who has trouble expressing what he actually feels. the bad acting is just like how the camera will intentionally go out of focus, or have too much exposure.
@BabyDollHeather no you are jealous, i will tell you why. Because the movie is epicely in a Dutch style set in USA! and you english twat, dont like this of course. ;)
honestly i couldv'e done better then him.
