This short segment from Orson Welles' cinematic essay, F for Fake, may be the profoundest moment in cinema history. It is both uniquely moving, as well as stunningly deep philosophically---a truly rare cinematic combination. This clip should be required viewing, not only for every student of cinema, but for everyone who seeks an antidote to the world's increasing descent into cruelty and darkness. Here, Welles achieves the miraculous with amazingly simple means (note the lack of music as an emotional "guide", for example). God created Orson Welles...then broke the mold. Introduced by media psychologist, Dr. James N. Herndon.

I think a lot of his persona just came from the fact that he had a rich baritone voice, which allowed him to speak softly and still be heard, (thus allowing for more voice inflection). I do enjoy a good movie, with convincing and charismatic acting, which I am sure does take a lot of practice and, yes, even talent.
The Movie is F For Fake. You can order it from Amazon... it is a criterion release, so you can find it anywhere those are sold, but GET IT! This clip is the slowest moment of the film... the movie is so funny, clever, intelligent and entertaining that you will have to watch it over and over. Welles' best work in my opinion. do a search for F For Fake trailer and you will get a feel for it.
I just made a documentary about Orson Welles which won 3rd place in the NYS History Day Competition. Please feel free to look at it. It's called "Orson Welles: Genius and Innovator of the American Cinema". I really love his work!
