The conversation

The acting by Gene Hackman of Caul played out perfectly. It's as if someone gave him a description of how he should act and he perfected the role. I say this because it seemed so natural natural believable. It's as if directors let him act without interruptions. That's how much he acts his characters role out perfectly. I know it more than acting when it comes to a movie production. Scenes have to mesh and everything else must have continuity. I understand that, let's give these actors their due credit. They are important pieces to the puzzle too. From the shaky fist knocking on the door, to the saxophone playing. Gene Hackman put on a show. He allowed you to believe that he is really as paranoid with a, 'I will not break', mentality as the people he was hired to record. This gives the audience an unsettling feeling, where we seek for a way to make sense of a movie that we don't have to make sense of. Also we do this because it's the sad story of the oppressor in a sense becoming the victim. As Caul losses it, trying to find where he's bugged-we try to make sense of the film. We ask, 'Why doesn't he move out, He's searching in a the wrong places.' We could have sensed this from th beginning when that girl he visited said she felt as she had been recorded. It's obvious he acts a certain way because he's dealing with an intense case. Only we have to expect Caul to understand he's taking a risk where anything can happen every time he gets a new case. Nice acting.
