The Essence of Immortal Performance

The enduring power of cinema itself lies in its ability to be a modern myth-maker. Films crystallize stories and values, presenting them in a highly accessible and emotionally potent form. The actors in these films become the faces of the myths. By playing heroes, villains, and everymen in stories that address fundamental human concerns, they are woven into the collective unconscious, taking on a status that is larger than life.
