Terry's Zwigoff is "Bad Santa Claus" is probably the most cynical, criminal and foul-fat Christmas movie He ever did. So savvy and vulgar that even joyous Christmas horrors pale compared. This is the movie that young children's parents immediately forbid and lock child television whenever it appears during the holiday. It is also a stone-cold classic: hysterical, brutally honest and moving in an unexpected way.

There are two reasons for this: Glennation and the Johnon Recta Non-Build Screen Divoration, stunning and self -centered performance of Billy Bob Thornton Like leading villas, a criminal and low -life alcoholic, who dresses as Santa Claus every year to rob the malls where he performs during the day. But despite all his frightening and self -destructive tendencies, Thornton manages to dig and find the heart of the character, making him not only wants, but also relative. By the end of the film, he turns villas into a cute loser who goes through so much *** (from physical and emotional abuse to prison) that is a practical miracle that he is still alive.

It's just something: he can take an extreme amount of beatings (literally and figuratively) of life without pulling out and becoming every time, no matter how much the impact. As Rocky Balboa said glorious: "It's not about how hard she guessed. It's about how hard you can hit and move on." And Thornton did such a fantastic job as this miserable and pathetic man who somehow always returns despite the chances of attracting Taylor Sheridan's eye, giving the impression of him that he has never forgotten. So it's no surprise that he wrote "Landman" with the actor in his mind to play the lead, Tommy Norris and compared his elasticity with "Bad Santa Claus" Willie.

Although Zwigoff's film and Sheridan's series cannot be different, the intensity and charisma that Thornton brought in both roles are what makes them really memorable and extraordinary. Norris is a hard and powerful man, while Willie is a weak, sad drunken, but both are incredibly heavy and elastic individuals independently. Of course, this is due to Thornton's magnetism and ball as an actor, who Sheridan loved and recognized early. In Interview with the deadlineThe creator-creator explained why he knew Thornton would be the perfect candidate for playing the protagonist of Landman. He said,

"Well, he was from the world, right? Maybe not the oil world, but he is from rural America. His family is from Texas. He feels true in this place. He has fierce towards him, fearlessly as an actor who gives his words the right way. He feels like someone who just doesn't come back. And, it's the perfect embodiment of Tommy in Landman on that character, right?

If you've seen the first Landman season, you can't really argue with that statement. Whether it is drug cartels, relentless lawyers, former women or oil billionaires who want to gather through Tommy, he always comes up with something to stand on the ground. He is a ceas in a cowboy hat you can't kill, no matter how hard you try. That kind of elasticity is an inherent part of Thornton's acting repertoire (as seen in Fargo's first season Or "Goliath" besides "Landman" and "Bad Santa"), which makes him a fascinating actor to see if the right material is given - and the latest "Paramount" by Sheridan and Cvigoff's classic are certainly two of the best examples.
