and on. voice-verified

Yeah, it's funny. voice-verified

I read Conclusions, which is one of Borman's books. voice-verified

He wrote two books. voice-verified

Conclusions is more of his memoir slash a series of kind of personal essays about his time making movies. voice-verified

And he had some really interesting ideas about Reynolds, right? voice-verified

Because he said that there are actors who want to go inside and there are actors who want to stay outside. voice-verified

And that Burt never wanted to go inside. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

That he was very comfortable staying on the surface, which if you look at his filmography, you can kind of tell that. voice-verified

And that Deliverance is one of the very few movies that asks him to really struggle with the self. voice-verified

And that Void is obviously the opposite. voice-verified

That Void in the 70s was the ultimate internal explorer. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

But he's like lamenting Reynolds' version of stardom. voice-verified

And so it is interesting that the movies that he makes in the aftermath of that, I would say they're thematically strong, but I don't know that he asks his actors to do quite the same thing. voice-verified

You know, like Zardoz and The Heretic and then Excalibur, which is his kind of great return to form after The Heretic fails. voice-verified

Those are big genre movies. voice-verified
