[ Thinking ]
Forgive me, Ronnie.
:30:58
[ Giles ] For is it not the
case that when we are in
the habit of viewing a film...
:31:02
more than once,
assisted by that technological
aide-memoire the video player,
:31:08
then a remarkable
phenomenon
presents itself.
:31:12
We see...
:31:15
that what, at first,
appeared to be merely
accidental or unrehearsed...
:31:19
becomes on subsequent
viewings an indelible part
of the film's texture.
:31:26
A distant landscape,
:31:29
a blurred face
in the crowd,
:31:32
even a banal message
on a T-shirt.
:31:36
So, the largely unrecognized
art of film acting...
:31:41
depends entirely
on the ability of the actor--
:31:45
or, indeed, actress--
:31:48
to make everything
about himself--
:31:52
uh, or herself--
:31:56
seem equally permanent.
