    I love when actors are allowed to improvise, since their ad libs usually come off as more authentic than when they're scripted.

    • @JerbilKonai
      @JerbilKonai 15 дней назад +1

      Probably because they are trying to be the character, while a writer is trying to think like multiple characters. Subtleties fall by the wayside if you need to keep multiple characters in your head, one would imagine.

    My favorite movie quote is very obscure. New York Stories is an anthology of three short films. In the one called Oedipus Wrecks, directed by and starring Woody Allen (second banana is Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge Simpson), a seeming bimbo with a push-up bra says, "Maybe it...has got to do with...molecules." The delivery is very nervous and halting, when she says "molecules" she make a vibrating motion with her fingers, and in the science that I do, pretty much everything in some way has to do with molecules.
