Few walks are capable of transmitting emotions as palpable as that wise walk of Tim Robbins. Without a doubt one of the actors who has best made his own, that of non-verbal language applied to the performing arts. A Tim Robbins silence accompanied by appropriate movement can say more than the most histrionic performance of many other actors.
If there is a subject in dramatic art where the way to communicate with the complete body gesture is studied, Tim Robbins would teach the most sought-after master's degree.
But Tim Robbins also shows off everything else. Perhaps not in such an obvious way but with that undoubted capacity for empathy with each and every one of his characters. The kind of kind look that can darken to present us with unsuspected inner hells. The character that immediately makes us forget the actor. Without a doubt one of the current greats.
Top 3 Recommended Tim Robbins Movies
Cadena perpetua
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:It is not easy to get the same Morgan Freeman become an absolute comparsa character in a plot. Of course, as a narrator, Freeman's story also has a fascinating charm. But if we refer to the scene beyond the voiceover, Robbins rises in this film to the pinnacle of acting.
The plot plays in his favour, of course, because this work that was born from a short novel by Stephen King, within its volume on the four seasons, has all the ingredients to magnetize us in substance and form. A kind of revenge or rather poetic justice appears as the story progresses. But we could never even suspect where the matter will break until we do something masterful.
The melancholy touch of the man dejected by circumstances. That point of introspection that fits perfectly with the future of Robbins's character, the prisoner Andy Dufresne, on the verge of the worst sinking and finally reaching full glory or at least, a kind of replacement for his past and his misfortune.
A film loaded with mythical scenes in prison. A ribbon
Paltrow went from liking me for having spent some years as students in Spain to giving me a much worse impression in a recent program where she showed her mansion with a spa instead of a storage room. Things about gratuitous prejudices towards characters as exposed as actors.
Mystic River,
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:The order between these two films could change. But I'm sure that 99% of the film critics we meet will put one or the other, up or down without distinction. Because Perpetual Chain and Mystic River are two fucking works of cinema art. And to a large extent it is thanks to Tim Robbins more shadowed by circumstances, regrets, the past irreconcilable with the soul...
I've always thought that directing this brutal film, Clint Eastwood he did not know how to find the best ending when it happened right under his nose. The moment in which Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn) gets up from the sidewalk, early in the morning and with the last effluvia of alcohol subsiding before his hangover, takes a few steps and points towards the street where the old childhood friend left, Dave (Tim Robbins) to his doom… That was the most elegant ending to the movie and surely one of the most round endings ever seen!
A little further behind him we see Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) and together they could have stayed for a silence that could have lasted for minutes. Because in that strange absence of the third friend, Dave, from the day the wolves took him in that car until all the years he dragged afterwards, is everything that clouds the existence of the three children of yesteryear.
An inevitable circle so that fate repeats itself in its cyclical evolution. For this whole message to reach us without making it explicit, at no point does Sean Penn's nonsense have much to do with it. The three of them do great, but especially Robbins as a man traumatized since childhood.
War of the Worlds
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Looking for that film that is a bit of free verse in the filmography of Tim Robbins, I have remembered this film led in the cast by Tom Cruise but taken to another level with the appearance of a Tim Robbins who makes the apocalypse that is coming from his own. hiding place in the basement of his house.
In fact, I don't know how much of the time in the movie Robbins takes up... And yet, his performance gives the movie the closest touch to the fatality of an alien invasion. Credibility even in the face of the darkest fantasy. A substance and a rennet that only he could achieve starting as a third or fourth actor...
Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is a divorced dockworker who lives alone and leaves much to be desired as a father. One weekend, Ray's ex-wife and her new husband leave her two children, teenager Robbie (Justin Chatwin) and her little sister Rachel (Dakota Fanning), in charge of her. That same day, a strange and violent storm of lights occurs, which turns out to be an attack by a robotic alien species that is searching for humans.
The film tells of humanity's extraordinary battle against an alien invasion, seen through the eyes of the American family. Like the rest of humanity, after the start of the invasion, the family is forced to take refuge from the aliens, unstoppable beings who have shields that make them invincible against human methods of destruction.
Inspired by the work of HG Wells, this film is a worldwide classic, and one of the pillars of science fiction as we know it today.
