If you were an actor…

Which do you think would take more suspension of belief:

being an atheist in rl playing a character who’s very religious, or a religious person in rl playing a character who’s an atheist ?

Great question... I have no answer, though. I do believe not all "great" actors can play any part convincingly: for example, I've never seen Brando play comedy well nor, imho, has De Niro ever played the romantic lead with any conviction.

I searched my data base for this movie but I don't have it... maybe that's a good thing because the reviews from critics and ordinary people were decidedly mixed (which leads me to believe you ARE a hopeless romantic - which is a good thing in my book :D )

My SkyKing service does have it :(

Which means I feel obligated now... (sighing heavily - wishing I still drank) 😂

I see Harvey Keitel is in it so that's good...

I'm watching the movie - u were right. It's not bad. It's no Bridges of Madison County though.

@rinkydinkydoink No, but nothing is that except that movie. 😊
