It really was extraordinary and painful and it is a lovely performance by deniro, he gets at the guy's geekiness and desperation without ever playing at it.<BR/><BR/>C - Indeed it does.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-91802107209066927932008-01-28T12:53:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:53:00.000-05:00It's been years since I've seen this film. It may...It's been years since I've seen this film. It may be the only film that I can say I love but can't stand to watch. When it first came out on video, a colleague told me I had to see it. We watched it that night and as soon as it was over, had to watch it again. Talk about gawping at a train wreck! That is the only time that I've seen it in its entirety. Truly painful to watch, but as Sheila says, your heart aches so for Rupert.Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-61899506156023258392008-01-28T09:26:00.000-05:002008-01-28T09:26:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you saw it!

The scenes with Rupert in his basement and the cardboard cutouts is almost too painful to watch. I think it is one of Deniro's most compassionate acting jobs. Because even though I do not want to spend any time with Rupert Pupkin, my heart aches for him.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.com
