Because ultimately, he's looking for what a moviegoer will recognize as a kind of narrative justice. He's trying to solve this mystery. And the command, the, like, easy, like, kind of sexy command that he has in those bar, in those shakedown scenes, you know, he just, it's just a great, dirty, filthy character. Yeah. And the character works because he's got swag, you know?
Right.
And he didn't, he could turn that on and he could turn it off, but you really...
This is a great point.
Can I tell you how many years I thought that Tom Hagen was played by Gene Hackman? Right. I sometimes have to remind myself that Robert Duvall is not Gene Hackman in that movie.
Terms of Endearment works with Gene Hackman.
But you know what he cannot do? And never really tried. He never did crazy. Well, he did do comedy and he was pretty, the birdcage, that's the first thing that comes to mind.
Listen, I mean, I mean, I'm already out as like, you know, I'm out of myself as being like into Gene Hackman, but yeah, it does not take much. But no, his Lex Luthor, his Lex Luthor.
My first Gene Hackman was Lex Luthor in the 78 Superman. And listen, he's sexy. He is sexy in that movie. And there's like, and he, I don't know what he knew, but he definitely seemed to understand that Lex Luthor thought he was sexy. And that was good enough for him.
Yeah, but he, oh wait, but this is my, I was going to say, speaking of which, he never did crazy. Crazy is the thing he never did. He never played.
I mean, just go back to like one of his primes. Like he couldn't have played Travis Bickle. No.
Um, you also wouldn't have believed him as, as Woodward, right? You wouldn't have believed him as Bob Woodward.
Yeah, exactly. He would have flown off the handle way before it was time. Right. And there, there are just some things like, this is an interesting distinction that we're trying to make here, which is that I'm saying he's never played crazy, right? He's never played a crazy person, like a psychopath, right?
You can say what you want about Little Bill and Unforgiven, but that guy was just... Evil's not the same thing as crazy.
Think about all the people he's mentored to. Right.
But what is it? But what is that, though? Right. Yeah.
Was he 6'1"? Yeah, I think he was, you know, he was. He definitely seemed substantial, right?
Like there was, I mean, this is,
part of the thing that i've got for jane hackman is he just seemed meaty like there was some there was often some meat on those bones like he seemed big bone is really what it was like not fit at all but not interested in fitness not vain there's no vanity right um he just whoever he's playing it's just there to do the work because often these are working people all these guys have jobs
And even the guy that he plays in the birdcage, the senator, the bigoted senator who never changes but keeps going along with the program. And part of the comedy of the movie is you fully expect him to give himself over by showing up and coming out of the... Some crazy plot twist or something. But instead, he's just like... Man, this is the world.
