The Late ein hackman Starwar in numerous films that are now considered classics. From the "conversation" to "French relationship", "Unforgiven" and everything between them, his filmmaking is filled with projects that most actors would like to have on their resume, though Hackman himself believed he was not the right man for some of his iconic roles. That, he said, even the most successful actors complain, and for Hackman, one of his main ones was to refuse the chance to act in "ordinary people" in 1980.

Directed by Robert Redford and written by Alvin Sargent (adapting the novel in 1976 with the same name from Jududite guest), "ordinary people" tells the story of a wealthy family that is overwhelmed by sadness after the death of one of their sons. Donald Sutherland's character, Calvin Retaret, is a father who was tasked with trying to keep them all together, as his household begins to fall apart after the tragedy, and the actor gives an emotionally moving performance that generated heaps of critical recognition.

The "ordinary people" were nominated for six awards at the Academy and won four of them (including the best Oscar image), so it is understandable why Hackman wished to accept the gig when offered. Having this in mind, why Whether He refused the project in the first place?

Ein Hackman was an actor at a request in the late 70's and early 80's, so he probably received tons of offers for the enticing projects he had refused for any reason. However, while the "ordinary people" liked his taste buds, he and the studio could not see an eye for the business side of things. As the actor explained Chicago Tribune As early as 1985:

"I liked the script, but I couldn't reach an agreement on - how can I express it? - Compensation. If I was thinking about it, I assumed I would have had to regret. So, something to do is not think about it, don't you think?"

"Ordinary People" is a project that moved away for the deceased actor, although there were also At least two films that Hackman regrets starring. This only shows that even the best performers there make mistakes sometimes. However, the pure force of Hackman's overall filmography is proof that it leaves more hits than misses.
