I a little bit understand where it came from, but then it took a turn and then I was like, no, you got to just anyway. But he was my... Of those five guys, I'll just stay with those five guys. He was my favorite of the nominated performances. And he also was the best. It was one of the best pieces of acting I saw last year, period. And I think what I loved about it was the restraint.

The way he... The way his... There's something like an there's an anchor. It's so different from the piano from from the pianist performance. Right.

Where that character seemed to be blowing through through the through the narrative. And part of what was beautiful about that performance was just that he was in a silent movie, essentially. And you were watching somebody do was like a like a Charlie Chaplin, but under the worst possible circumstances for a human being. And he just seemed to keep surviving in an almost tragic, realist way.

And this movie is the opposite, where it's everything about it is internal. And how many levers can he keep down on the emotional side? circumstances, you know, dealing with the Guy Pearce character, keeping his eyes open, you know, there's a wariness and a skepticism about what this character is up against at all times. There's that great scene. Oh, you haven't seen it, Bill, have you?

I'm going to tell you about this one scene. There's this one scene. Felicity Jones is his wife. She eventually makes her way over to the United States. They wind up living together in this smallish apartment with her cousin. And these three Holocaust survivors in this little apartment, the husband and wife have not seen each other in a long time.

And there is an expectation from her that they're going to do it. And this is truly, this scene between these two actors and between these two characters is like, I'm getting chills just thinking about it. It is one of the most loaded sexual encounters that also is freighted by, you know, watching it in 2024, 25, you know, 60 years, you know, 70 years of history.

And the history that these characters have with each other, we're like, they're just different people now. The Holocaust has changed them. The time they've spent apart has changed them. Her body's different. His interest in her body is different. It is... I'm not even gonna... I can't be more detailed about the scene because I don't want to ruin it for people who haven't seen it.

I wasn't gonna skip it, but I just... That is one of the best directed, best acted scenes between two actors in a bed that I have ever seen. And I will say as a, you know, parenthetically, not a lot of bed scenes in Baby Girls. So they didn't have a lot of competition.
