Josh Brolin is not here for Chaser’s actors, he wants real actors who “get in the soup”

Josh Brolin He saw everything. From the fight against the stakes of Thanos in the MCU to dig in depth in more grittical dramas, the career of the boy lasts decades and genres. But despite the awards, the successes at the box office and the series acting chops, Brolin has one thing in these days … What has happened to the art of acting?

In a recent butt with Graham Bensinger, Brolin did not hold back when he reflected on how industry has changed and not for the better.

“This profession in these days, when you see people coming and saying” I want to be an actor “. Nine times out of ten they want to know how to be famous.

For Brolin, the problem is not just that the new arrivals want to success, it is what they think that success means. He grew up with actors who are obsessed with technique, narration and emotional truth.

Today he sees a generation more interested in the blue controls of Instagram and the red rugs than to dig into roles that leave bruises on the soul.

“Less and less find actors who just want to enter the soup, enter the cauldron.”

“Get Into the Soup” concerns the embrace of the disordered and collaborative chaos that makes the film so magical. He wants the actors to fight with the material, they want to vulnerable, challenge each other and they came out of them, not those who chase a life brand.

And of course, some could erase it as a generational complaint. Brolin is a legacy, son of the actor James BrolinAnd he too had to shake about derogation from the fact that he was riding the false.

Again The GooniesIt was already in depth in the studies on methods. So deep, in fact, Spielberg had to tell him to lighten a little.

But when Brolin speaks of the type of performances that leave a mark, it is not buzzing from the box office statistics. He is looking at the actor as Denzel Washington:

“I look back at the work that Denzel has done and I am absolutely amazed. When he has that tear that enters Glory OR Cry FreedomIt is another great. So many fantastic films that I watch him and I’m just amazed. In absolute awe. How do you do it? “

This is the bar for Brolin. Not fame. Don’t follow us. Only the raw and undeniable power of a performance that affects the screen.

And maybe there is still hope. When Dune co-protagonist Timothée Chalamet He brought home his Oscar, he did not shout the game of fame, he said he wanted to be one of the great ones. This is the type of mentality for which Brolin is cheering.

In a world obsessed with the fact that it becomes viral, Brolin’s request for a return to the trenches, where the real job happens. Where the actors continue, they bleed and feel for their roles.

And if you are not willing to “enter the soup”, perhaps it is time to rethink the reason why you are also keeping the spoon.
