cinnetle tanıştığım guguk kuşu ile ahbap olduğum usta. beğenmediğim filmi yoktur desem yeridir. ha bir de her nasılsa hep baya iyi yönetmenler ile çalışıyor.
bugün doğum günü olan sanatçıdır. şüphesiz yaşayan en iyi aktörlerden biridir. rollerini sanki yaşar. hele eastwick cadıları filmindeki şeytan rolü unutulmazdır. zaten herhalde hollywood'da tanrı rolü en çok morgan freeman'a, şeytan rolü de nicholson'a yakışıyor galiba.
Sinema tarihinin gelmiş geçmiş en iyi oyuncusu olarak aday gösterilen 3-4 aktörden biri. Zor rollerin üstesinden gelmeyi başarmıştır. Jack torrence rolünü ondan başkası bu kadar iyi canlandıramazdı. Aynı olay guguk kuşu içinde geçerli. Birde kendisini ne zaman görsem gülesim gelir öyle biri.*
Bence sinema tarihinin en iyi on oyuncusundan biridir. Allah uzun ömür versin. Sol framede gorunce içime sictim lan. Adam vefat mi etti diye, , . ayrıca benim favori beş aktorumden birisidir de.
Sadece efsanevi bir aktör, şeytan tüylü karşı konulmaz çapkın bir erkek olmayan; aysbergin görünmeyen tarafıyla çok özel bir ruh ; en uzun romantik ilişkisini yaşadığı Angelica Huston ağzından bir bölüm az bilinen Jack hakkında;
"People think, “Jack the joker”—Jack’s all about fun. And he pulls it off successfully, but it is a one-dimensional view. He is emotional. Life touches him, and moves him, and upsets him. He is a deep and serious person. He takes things harder than you’d imagine or than he would want you to know. On the other hand, perhaps in part because of the early experience of having everyone in his family lie to him about the circumstances of his birth—he had found out that the woman he thought was his sister was in fact his mother, and that his “mother” was in fact his grandmother—it is not surprising that he’s quite cynical.
Jack loved his house on the hill, its walls plastered with paintings. He knew a good deal about art and learned more as he accumulated a diverse and eclectic collection, building it for the most part on his own instinct. He had a personal affinity for pigs and a prime collection of porcine artifacts—photographs and porcelains, which overflowed the bookshelves.
Marlon Brando lived farther up the hill from Jack and they shared the same driveway. Marlon loved to play practical jokes and generally engaged Helena Kallianiotes, Jack’s chief of staff and the keeper of his confidences and trust, to put them into effect on April Fool’s Day. Once, Marlon instructed her to report to Jack that he had decided to sell his house to Sylvester Stallone, claiming that, having been offered so much money for the property, he simply couldn’t afford to turn it down. Stallone in those days traveled with a small army of bodyguards and lived a notably opulent lifestyle; Jack prided himself on his talent for privacy, moving under the radar whenever he wished. The thought of all those Stallone fans at the gate worried him no end. Marlon thought that was just hilarious."
