The actor Harry Dean Stanton compared to Bob Dylan
“Both very eccentric, complex characters”.
Everybody knows at least one line from the movie.
He might be of small stature, but he was the bigger man on this occasion.
The humour might of been biting, but the prescience was alarming.
Not that you’d make that connection based on the scene.
“It’s communicating, a way to share our experience.”
“The whole movie is ‘Gimme my money back!’”
The Oscars largely favour melodramatic biopics.
The actor and comic’s personal issues manifested in different ways.
Lightning struck twice, and he won’t even consider a third.
“Just get me somewhere I can die in peace!”
An iconic movie that went on to inspire generations.
