I thought he completely nailed it, and that’s a good point that the prosthetics back then were brutal, just an incredible two-hander overall that’s mocked for no good reason.
RIP. I saw a trailer for Enemy Mine the other day and made me remember how good he was in that movie. Didn’t his character in that movie change genders and give birth? Try and do that now and people would call in bomb threats to the theater.
if i remember right (it has been decades) it was more like their species being inherently hermaphroditic rather than a transition, but i also wouldn't expect that level of nuance from the bomb-planting audiences of today
Rest in Peace Brother Gossett. We will remember you. Wonderful black man and the first to show the withe idiots, Grammies are for good actors only. Shall yeah
because of the weird way I came at movies, I think of him always as SADAT - and the Egyptian unease at the time of Sadat being played by an African-American actor.
