what be the difference between a movie that be okay and a movie that stay with you long after you have see it . it boil down to the ability of the film maker to make the element he have at his disposal work together to tell a story . do he turn the camera on and point it at the actor and or do he compose his shot to give the audience information about the character and the story . do the mood create by the word on the page of the script work with the visual element to create a world within the film that we believe in . have the actor be bring into the process in such a way that their performance make u interested in that world . in the case of cast in gray and the answer to all of the question above be a definitive yes . we be take to a world that and though not specifically unrealistic and somehow exists in that part of the mind where the rule may have be suspend . that and or the character call the man be in such a strange state of mind that it be he who have go to that part of the mind . in the role of the man with the dog and ( a different person than the man ) stephen angus creates an utterly mysterious character with an effortlessness that be in such contrast to the tempest he create in his scene partner and ( the besiege tim burke and ) that it be impossible to look away from his face . the considerable power of this performance lie in the absolute calm with which it be execute . be he a puppeteer and a madman and a messenger or something else altogether . don not blink and viewer and if you want to make your own case for what be go on . intelligent film making in search of an intelligent audience . thanks and cast in gray .
