TroyHOST
But it definitely left a lingering mark on the landscape of romantic movies.
TroyHOST
And like I'd already mentioned, not only does it star Joseph Fiennes, but it also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Colin Firth, Ben Affleck, Geoffrey Rush, Judi Dench, and Tom Wilkinson.
TroyHOST
Shakespeare in Love is a romantic comedy from the 1990s set in the 1590s.
TroyHOST
It imaginatively unfolds the witty, sexy, and timeless tale behind the creation of the greatest love story ever told.
TroyHOST
I'm sure that if I had not had that prejudice the very first time, I would probably have a different outlook on it.
TroyHOST
But unfortunately, this wasn't my type of movie, even though it has a lot of the stuff that I really enjoy.
TroyHOST
Again, we're dealing with a cast that keeps repeating over the past couple of movies, like with Jeffrey Rush and Tom Wilkinson, and especially Colin Firth as well.
TroyHOST
We've done a lot of movies with those actors in it over the past week and a bit, which is great to see how well they can... make themselves i mean that's the reason why they are great actors they can totally make themselves completely different than the last time you saw them especially when we're dealing with victorian stories being told over and over again they just come at it from a different angle which again is another reason why they are considered such great actors To be honest, I think my biggest stumbling blocks movies are like two of the biggest names in this movie.
DanHOST
It starts off
SideyHOST
with a bit of kind of voiceover of Tom Wilkinson's lawyer character, doesn't it? Yeah.
SideyHOST
Which is a
CrisHOST
bit confusing initially because...
CrisHOST
it doesn't really you don't really understand where this is coming from no it's quite uh it's all like a metaphor there's a lot of metaphor it starts
SideyHOST
off in a non-linear yeah sense because if you get tom wilkinson he's it turns out what he is is one of the best litigators in this law firm he's arthur eden's but he's lost his mother yeah he's he's he's he's clearly got some sort of psychiatric had some sort of psychiatric episode however He's right.
SideyHOST
He's almost certainly correct in the sense that they have been defending this company called Ukraine.
SideyHOST
But he has come to learn that in the sort of Erin Brockovich sense, there's also a Steven Soderbergh movie, that he's basically defending the indefensible
WesHOST
The way he holds a moment is fantastic.
WesHOST
And if you haven't seen it, if you never got around to it, I think it's worth watching, especially for Tom Wilkinson, because he is so good.
WesHOST
Yeah.
WesHOST
Great movie.
Joe ReidHOST
Because it lost
Chris FeilHOST
cinematography to Mulholland Drive, first screenplay to Ghost World, and actor to Tom Wilkinson in In the Bedroom.
Chris FeilHOST
Yeah.
Joe ReidHOST
You can see where first screenplay would go to something else that people really loved Ghost World that year.
Adam Tex DavisHOST
So you're not running across the desert with 3,000 soldiers like Lawrence of Arabia or something.
Mark EdlitzGUEST
Dan, what else we got? Mike? Michael Clayton, the George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson film with Tilda Swinton.
Adam Tex DavisHOST
Mm-hmm.
Adam Tex DavisHOST
Not bad.
Riley HamiltonHOST
For sure.
Amy ScarlataHOST
And then what's his name with the baguettes? Tom Wilkinson.
Riley HamiltonHOST
Tom Wilkinson in that.
Riley HamiltonHOST
Oh, he's a tour de force in that film.
Riley HamiltonHOST
You can't imagine it without Sidney
Joshua RayHOST
I'm just saying it.
Joshua RayHOST
But the trick of that is that she's this young, you know, seemingly sort of ditzy, but also with great reverence for Tom Wilkinson's creator character.
Joshua RayHOST
And the twist that, you know, she's undergone this and ultimately is kind of very...
Joshua RayHOST
I don't want to call it a screenplay thing because it feels so real and inventive and honest that maybe in the subsequent 25 years or whatever, 30 years, it's become a screenplay thing, but it's just so ingenious having that character undergo that kind of change in discovery in order to affect the the two leads of the film, is a young character.
Peter LozanoHOST
out.
Scott YoungbauerHOST
When that got its Best Picture nomination, Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson and Marissa Tomei all got acting nominations.
Devin LotfiGUEST
Now that you say that, I think we always talk about how great the 2006 race was, but 01, you had Sissy, Halle, Nicole.
Devin LotfiGUEST
That was a big competitive year, too.
MichaelHOST
Which I had been really wanting to re-watch.
MichaelHOST
It was a 2003, I think, HBO made-for-TV movie starring Jessica Lange, one of my biggest crushes of all time, and Tom Wilkinson.
MichaelHOST
Where he is a Midwesterner, you know, father-husband who decides that he needs to speak his truth and transition into a woman.
MichaelHOST
And Jessica Lange, you know, trying to deal with it.
MichaelHOST
And all about that in the Midwestern agricultural state.
MichaelHOST
It does also have returning champion Clancy Brown.
MichaelHOST
who is Tom Wilkinson's boss and then has an affair with Jessica Lange.
MichaelHOST
Oh.
Phoebe RoyHOST
You know, I went through the whole of the Dark Knight Rises under the impression that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was going to be revealed to be a villain.
Phoebe RoyHOST
Because during the build-up, like when they were doing like the casting rumors and stuff because there are always loads of casting rumors around Nolan movies which is how we ended up with Elliot Page is going to be Achilles like there were loads and loads of casting rumors and one of the casting rumors is JGL is definitely going to be in it and he is going to be he's going to be like a kind of sort of like a minor league bad guy and the suggestion was he was going to be the son of the guy who gets played by Tom Wilkinson in the first like the mob guy from like the very start of Batman Begins which by the
speaker_1ADVERTISER
way I
Phoebe RoyHOST
like Batman Begins the most out of all of them I think Batman Begins is the best
