A Complete Unknown Open Caption (On-Screen Subtitles)

IT WAS CERTAINLY A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO SEE TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IN "A COMPLETE UNKNOWN" AT THE CINEMA VILLAGE- AS IT WAS A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO SEE SEBASTIAN STAN IN "THE APPRENTICE" THERE (WE CAN ALSO SAY THE SAME ABOUT SEEING MR . STAN IN "A DIFFERENT MAN" AT YOUR THEATER). IF ANY OF THE PROGRAMMERS AT THE CINEMA VILLAGE ARE READING THIS, I HOPE YOU WILL TRY TO SCREEN THE FILMS THAT STARRED THE OTHER THREE OSCAR NOMINEES: ADRIEN BRODY IN "THE BRUTALIST," COLMAN DOMINGO IN "SING, SING," & RALPH FIENNES IN "CONCLAVE." IT WILL CERTAINLY BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEIR PERFORMANCES COMPARE TO THE BROODING INTENSITY CONVEYED BY MR. CHALAMET & THE MONOMANIACAL PASSION MR. STAN DISPLAYED AS DONALD TRUMP.

WHEN I WROTE COMMENTS ON THE NON-OPEN CAPTION SCREEN, I'M AFRAID THAT I NEGLECTED TO MENTION ELLE FANNING'S PERFORMANCE. HER PERFORMANCE IS DEFINITELY THE EQUIVALENT OF MONICA BARBARO'S- ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE EXPRESSES HER CHARACTER'S HURT FEELINGS IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS: THE FIRST TIME COMES THROUGH HER EXPRESSION OF RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION AT FINDING OUT THAT DYLAN HAS BEEN KEEPING SECRETS FROM HER & THE SECOND TIME COMES WHEN SHE SEES DYLAN & JOAN BAEZ PERFORMING A DUET TOGETHER . DIRECTOR JAMES MANGOLD INCREASED THE POIGNANCY OF THAT SCENE BY HAVING THE CAMERA PAN BACK & FORTH BETWEEN THE SEXUAL CHEMISTRY THAT TIMOTHEE CHALAMET & MONICA BARBARO DISPLAY THROUGH THEIR INTENSE LOOKS & OF MS. FANNING'S TEARFUL LOOKS WHICH MAKE US FEEL HER CHARACTER'S DESPERATE SENSE OF LOSS. I WAS HAPPY THAT MR. CHALAMET & MS. BARBARO RECEIVED OSCAR NOMINATIONS, BUT I WOULD ALSO HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN ONE GO TO MS. FANNING.
