Here are a few random people who happen to be awesome. I’m just saying.
The Coen Brothers
Evidence:
- The Big Lebowski, 1998 (directors/writers)
- O Brother, Where Art Thou?, 2000 (directors/writers)
- No Country for Old Men, 2007 (directors/writers)
- pretty much all of their other movies
Giulietta Masina
Evidence:
- La Strada, 1954 (Gelsomina)
- Le notti di Cabiria, 1957 (Maria "Cabiria" Ceccarelli)
Sam Mendes
Evidence:
- American Beauty, 1999 (director)
- Away We Go, 2009 (director)
Even if you're one of those people who doesn't like Away We Go (why are there so many of you??), whatever, American Beauty is enough on its own to make him awesome.
Ron Perlman
Evidence:
- La cité des enfants perdus, 1995 (One)
- Hellboy, 2004 (Hellboy)
Adam Elliot
Evidence:
- "Uncle," 1996 (director/writer)
- "Cousin," 1998 (director/writer)
- "Brother," 1999 (director/writer)
- "Harvie Krumpet," 2003 (director/writer)
I just recently saw "Away We Go" and I really enjoyed it. It's such a warm film that has such an air of familiarity that it was hard not to like it. I wanted to jump into it and hang out with Maya Rudolph. One of my favorites this year, I think.
ReplyDeleteYes, warm is the word for it. And it's so refreshing to see lead characters who are supposed to love each other actually act like they do.
