Who's your favourite Willem Dafoe character?

@粕谷両ノ助 6 years ago

I'm pretty sure Robert'll be a great Batman, he is doing such a good job in his movies so far.

Great interviews! Rob Pat interviews are always entertaining. True actor of the craft.

Watched it last night. Brilliant. Dafoe in top form with Pattinson playing his part quite well as well.

Definitely some of my favorite performances

Robert Eggers is a lucky lucky director having master Defoe, and choosing Pattinson. Great duo. Watching this movie I got exactly a feeling that reminded of reading old horror novels. We need more experimental movies. Waiting for his further movies!

One of the best performances I’ve ever seen 👌

Now here's a director for any future Exorcist retelling. For 2025, he is the right choice, not Flanagan.

Casting Robert, and Willem is the greatest thing a filmmaker has ever done, so thank you Robert for letting me know how talented Robert was as an actor. Moreover, it was one of the reasons why he was chosen to play the starrring role with Willem. On the other hand, I can't imagine anybody playing "Green Goblin", except Willem Dafoe.

I'm still trying to watch "Lighthouse". I have tried, starting to three times but quit! It is intimidating because of the brutality shown in the movie which is very unsettling. I hate sadism and meanness shown to people. However, I will make myself get through the film because of these two great actors.
