Oscar Wins and Movie Risks by Leading Men
The chapter delves into how older individuals explain the significance of a classic epic film to younger generations, reflecting on the success and risks taken by actors like Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, Mel Gibson, and Robert Redford during the 1980s and 1990s. It discusses unconventional movies like 'Ordinary People', 'Reds', 'Dances with Wolves', 'Unforgiven', and 'Braveheart', and the actors' challenges in proving critics wrong despite already established success. The narrative also explores Oscar wins, competition against Martin Scorsese, commercial success of films like 'Dances with Wolves', the decline of Western films in the early 90s, and critiques on specific performances, line readings, and voiceovers in movies.
