On Heath
I was going to abstain but then I read
moroccomole's interview with Heath from The Advocate and it just added to the feelings of loss I had for the guy and his family and friends. What an articulate and interesting person he came across as. I wasn't a huge fan but I definitely enjoyed the underrated 10 Things I Hate About You, the semi-silly yet satisfying A Knight's Tale, Brokeback Mountain, and don't even get me started about how pysched I was to see him in the next Batman flick...
Such a damn shame...
A few great moments from the interview:
Having played Ennis, on the off chance that your child comes to you with the “Dad, I’m gay” speech, do you think you’re ready to hear it now?
Oh, it wouldn’t have bothered me beforehand. I don’t have a further appreciation for people who are gay; I always have. It’s never been an issue for me. Of course, if my child came to me and said that, I’d love them even more for being honest with me.
On expressing so much with very little make-up etc at the tail end of Brokeback Mountain
There’s this real weight of experience and time and age in your face that you don’t have at the beginning of the movie, and that moment…I was just really impressed by that.
It’s hard to explain how you do it or how you get there. Sometimes it’s very easy to overintellectualize what we do, to explain exactly where our thought comes from. I think sometimes you’re forced into just making shit up.
