It's indeed a great movie, but very sad and depressing. The scene with the Russian Roulette is really too sad It made a big impression on me... He won an Oscar for his supporting role in TDH and imo he really deserved it! I like Christopher Walken a lot. To me he's appealing because he's got this special kind of radiance and I like his voice and he's a great actor imo I don't know much about him as a person but he seems nice to me I have seen quite a lot of movies of him He also made a big impression on me in the movie "The Dead Zone"!

Christopher Walken is a good actor... He is even a great dancer. He in Fat Boy Slim's video for Weapon of choice. You can find it on you tube.
@maria- I agree there are far more better actors to chose form than Tom Crusie...I havn't seen those movies in awhile, but I know they were good. I tell you the truth I don't rember why I was on wonderwall to begin with. lol, but glad I found it and shared.

Thanks so much Jessica for sharing this info, is very very interesting, i love Walken so far i've seen most of his movie, and i do agree that he's red blooded actor, i suggest also King of New York, in the dead zone is impressive, i've also readed the book, and i can tell that he've portrayed quite well the character! I love his dances in that video Jessica, he's amazing! Sadly his career have a stop as he was involved in a shootout, which ended in tragedy, love affair and jelousy between lovers, at the beginning of his career, at the time, these were serious scandals that could afflicted any careers of the actors in Hollywood. Also i agree about Cruise i dunno why so often his movies comes in up in chart such hight, i have nothing towards him, but honestly there were better movies about war.

"The deer hunter" won the Oscar as Best Film in my birth year, so I looked it up a while ago and found some interesting comments on it: I think that making movies has changed a lot during the past 30 years, I don't think a director would get his actors to do the scenes like that nowadays. Unless he's working with Jake ;D who is willing to crash his shoulder for Source Code...

thank you for sharing all those interesting info about The deer Hunter, to be honest i do belive that if movies in nowdays was filmed like some masterpiece of Coppola, Cimino, DePalma, Scorsese, Ferrara the cinema surely would be valuable Agree about Gyllenhaal he's the kind of old school actor, i'm sure not all are able to do what he've doen for some of his performance.

I thought I read somewhere that he goes all out in his movies after fighting sceen with Heath in BBM. He stated that Heath really threw punches. It made an impression on Jake.

i confirm this Jessica, Gyllenhaal spoken out about this as seemed that during the shooting of a scene in Jarhead another actor blaming Gyllenhaal to been a bit too abusive towards him, than he recall the fighting between the rocks up on mountain in BBM and stated that Ledger punched him for real, Gyllenhaal seemed quite peaceable while he've talking about this small accident. Also Ledger accidentally broke his nose during the re-unimon kiss scene -ouch- so sometims little injury could happens ;D

I totally agree with all you say here, Maria! And watching a lot of 50'ies-60'ies-70'ies movies lately, I think many movies in that time were so different from the movies now, I don't find so much originality and charm (and special kind of atmosphere, that I like very much) in many movies nowadays (there are exceptions of course!)... I really admire Jake for who he is as a man and as an actor, I think he played very interesting roles and made excellent, interesting movies - and I'm sure he will continue to do so! I'm so happy there's JAKE nowadays, to me he is just the *greatest* actor!

thanks so much for sharing my thought about some old masterpiece, i guess you're quite right, i mean the past movies became masterpiece, how many movies in the last 20 years are such great? Too few..... Agree with you, we're lucky to ahve an actor like Gyllenhaal as he have something more than other actors.

I agree about the good old classic. When actor weren't afraid to get the feet wet and knock each other around. I also agree that alot of actors today don't want to get their hands dirty to make a shot REALLy great. It seems that they settle for good.
