Judd Hirsch and Independence Day

Judd Hirsch plays a really significant role in this film. He has a scene that I think is less than eight minutes long, but there is quite a bit of Oscar buzz. The judge performance that unlocks this movie is really beautiful. This is Judd Hirsch and Independence Day. There are so many moments in this movie that shouldn't work, right? That you're like, is this too much? And then so how do all those films settle back down into a movie that almost feels like conventionally sentimental when you have these bigger swing moments?"
