seen a resurgence as he has been taking on much heavier roles than the predictable romcoms we've all winced at when watching. This term is used when
Matty provides his audience with a
deep, memorable, grippingly real performance coupled with exquisitly written dialogue.
McConologue
As
Rust (True Detective): "Ascendant
meat, however illusory our identities are, we craft those identities by making value judgements. Everybody judges all the time. Now, you got a problem with that, you're living
wrong."
:"If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward, then
brother, that person is a
piece of shit.”
As Himself (Oscar'
s Speech): "And to my hero. That's who I chase. Now when I was 15 years old, I had a very important person in my life come to me and say 'who's your hero?' And I said, 'I don't know, I gotta think about that. Give me a couple of weeks.' I come back two weeks later, this person comes up and says 'who's your hero?' I said, 'I thought about it. You know who it is? It's me in 10 years.' So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'So, are you a hero?' And I was
like, 'not
even close. No, no, no.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Because my hero's me at 35.' So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. I'm never gonna be my hero. I'm not gonna attain that. I know I'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
"So, to any of us,
whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we're chasing, to that I say, '
Amen.' To that I say, 'Alright, alright, alright.' To that I say 'just keep living.' Thank you."
