It is a testimony to the depth and breadth of the career of Ein Hackman, which after the announcement of his passing at the age of 95People gathered on social networks to praise him, but without a uniform winner among his big filmography. Comics fans can continue to be amazed at how he has set the standard for malicious characters by taking Lex Luther in Superman: the movie. (Even if, In that case he was fooled to shave the mustache.) Fans of modern action films without a doubt remember his work in the tense and sweating thriller "Crimson Tide", among other examples. And the number of plays he made, introspective or otherwise, are almost countless. You can find so many examples of brilliance in the Ein Hackman's loan list, in so many genres. One of the most common threads in his career was his extraordinary ability to create effectively unforgettable confrontations with his colleagues, taking what is written on the site and strengthens energy and tension simply through his presence and his voice.

There are a few better examples of this specific trait-and honestly, a few better performances by Hackman-than in the 2001 comedy "Royal Tenetum", co-writer and director Wes Anderson. The whole film remains in the height of Anderson's long and impressive career, and everything is more pronounced because of how early Anderson did this in terms of even more precisely the designated, comfortable designed titles that go forward. Regardless of what else can be said about Hackman's work as a whole, his presence in playing dysfunctional paterfamiles of a broken and strange family in New York is great not only in Anderson's wider work, but also among his performances. This is because, especially in a specific scene, we need to recall that the older statesman of the American film act can still command the room even in the most unexpected circumstances.

Although Anderson's two previous feature films, "Bottle Rocket" and "Rushmore", include some of the aspects we associate as the author, it was "Royal Tenenbaus" who really set the template about what the movie Wes Anderson is - what it looks and sounds and feels. (Just look Our ranking of every Wes Anderson movie To see the unique qualities during his work.) There is a general sense of dead humor, established by the dry story of Alec Baldwin and worn during the story of a family that was once considered a SK of Yorkyorca culture and since their years have fallen. Part of that stumbling is due to the fact that their father was CAD and cheated on their lyubite mother Etelin (Angelica Huston). Among the many stories of the film, it is quickly clear that while Etelin was divorcing from the royal years, she is not fully aware of the fact that an accountant with a bow, Henry Herman (Dani Glover), who follows around, softly speaking and friendly, is doing so because he is crazy about Love.

When Royal was informed by his old friend and house Valeta Pagoda (Kumar Palana) that Henry not only declared his Loveubeube to Etlin, but he suggested, he puts into action a pattern-brain pattern. Although he has not lived in his old house for more than two decades, Royal lies in his children's hearts, saying he has a fatal case of stomach cancer and wants to spend his last days with his sons (Ben Stiller) and Richie (Luke Wilson), as well as adopted daughter Marg. What he really wants is to surpass Etlin's potential plans to head to Henry's sunset, as much as every latent ection to his wife, because because he just doesn't want anyone else to have what he can't. And that is what leads to a confrontation How tense it is, as it is funny in the middle of the film.

"Can I ask you a question. Hank?" Royal says sly and calmly when Henry enters the kitchen one morning. Although the range and tweet Henry can, thanks to Glover's skillful physical acting, already say that he enters a problematic place, he allows the question and quickly finds himself attacked with a racially insensitive language (which manages to be insensitive without being extremely inflammatory). After the other man asks Henry if he "tries to steal my wife", the royal calls "Coltrain" and then calls him to remove his "rag ass" from the house. In a film that has at least a period of unexpected violence between two diametrically contrasting men, it is shocking how fast this conversation turns both tense and angry. It is not that you cannot understand why a selfish man like Royal would not be angry and offended by the idea of ​​his ex -wife being involved in another man, but the fact that this jumps from boiling to a large boil for a few seconds is awkward in the most prominent way.

It helps that the tonal shift also catches and brings Ein Hackman and Dani Glover, two great performers who can manage an emotional scene without re -examining. When Royal stands to face Henry, threatening to "talk to someone Ivei", it is just as funny as it is tense, because the outdated expression and the face of the disease that Royal is trying to portray, make it less frightening. But Hackman's voice, that richly textured tenor of his, creates much more intimidation than the dialogue permits, or what Anderson may have even initially predicted. (That's the same as the moment in the movie when Royal and an hour are in the closet full of board games, and when he asks if his father is listening, he is welcomed with an angry wi on "Yes, I, I am! I think you have a nervous breakdown. "The line as it sounds too intense, but when it is Ein Hackman, it becomes a whole new life that comes out of the mouth.)

There is a lot to adore in the performance Gene Hackman delivered as Royal Tenenbaum in the third (and still the best) film by Wes Anderson. His capacity as an actor means that just as we feel anger in the face and voice of his character when he realizes that he is planted by someone quite different from him as a new figure of the father, we feel the loveube and the kindness in the face, because his relationship with his children is finally changing to the better when he is. Of course, you can give a good deal of the loan to the scenario itself, which effectively switches from tone to a second look and manages to be massively emotional in its last minutes, specifically because it pays so much of what we know about these characters and the father who damaged them, even if he was not actively trying to do.

You can see so much of Hackman's career and understand how much of Titanium he was worth decades on the big screen. Obviously, looking at Hackman withdrew from action a few decades ago, something about his loss at the age of 95 may feel a little less sad; This is not the case with someone who died too young, or at the height of constant delivery. But just because Ein Hackman has not acted for years, it doesn't mean that his loss has not been felt by many people around the world who may have known him about so many characteristic roles. And yet, as much as many excellent performances as he delivered, it is a simple truth that his work in the "Royal Tenenbaum" is one of his best performances, because he could still include the fierce when he needed to blow up his colleagues from the screen with his energy and vitality.
