Names & Faces

Some faces stick to our minds without exerting any efforts. Some sounds are prefered by our ears without our consent. And surely there are some names that could always be memorized no matter what damages our memories.

Kevin Costner is a name that has a special Place in my heart .. mind .. memory .. and Past. The first movie I watched him acting in was [ No Way Out]. It was displayed on Future TV when it was in the testing period. I felt charged when I saw him. He captured all my senses.

I felt that he is the man I would like to be if I was with the ability to choose a body.

And the obsession started ever since. I began collecting his pictures and photos from all the sources I could reach to. I used to gather information about him. And all were sorted in a file especially made for him.

Today, I regard him with admiration. I still like him more than the others, but nowadays my love for him has took another curve; maybe it became more profound but more logical, as well. I appreciate his work, have my own critics about some of his films, yet, my eyes always seek meeting his (through the screens of course, although I had my fantasies of living next to him!!).

Another actor that impresses me is Anthony Hopkins .. His presence negates all others .. His voice overwhelm everything .. His mere look is an epic never told yet!

I got acquainted with thic incredible genuine man in [The Silence Of The Lambs] as Hannibal Lector .. The character was both eccentric and imposing to the degree I went the next day to buy the movie (VCR, there were no DVDs at that time). I didn't like Foster in her part, she was dull and looked as a beginner, or let us be just and say: she acted well her roll as a complexed FBI agent. Still, I disliked her performance. But as for Hopkins, he mastered the role. I do not think that anyone could play it better!

And following his filmograph was actually a normal thing to do, and so I did.
It was his voice .. His voice that drives me insane ..
It thrills me beyond measure.
Something that lies between the scream of a hawk, the sirens of sharks, and the sound of the fallen leaves of an Autumn tree!!
Something that combines savagery and anger with serenity and transulence..
That unites the ununited .. !!
Yet, united !!

Another stop has to be taken to the amazing Matt Damon .. Not exactly amazing .. but precisely the Witty Matt.
I have never encountered a smart guy like this young man. His strides are full with enthusiasm. His eyes glitter with intelligence. His face portrays complete readiness to anything.
I initially met him in [Good Will Hunting] .. The movie is a complete success. It was created in a good way, and acted much more better.
The movie was very touchy. Actually, it hit on some of my fragile cords. I stayed 3 consecutive nights crying .. I just couldn't stop. But the bright side of the incident was that I never cried ever since.

Matt is good. He is more than good. But I do not know why he is not that appreciated. Most of his films are perfect. He chooses his roles in a very delicate way. I am waiting the release of the third part of The Bourne Identity to complete the threequels. They are far more interesting than Mission Impossible or even 007 James Bond.

Damon has no much effect on me .. but the 'coincidence' that he was the one who acted Good Will Hunting .. and had the breaking-of-ice scene with Robin Williams who said the killing-to-the-core words: It is not your fault .. It is not your fault .. It is not your fault ... etc.
