The Art of the Movie Actor
Here and now is never there and then
but there and then is always here and now,
and it takes forever to get to there and then
from here and now, and that’s life here
and there in the movies.
Sarah Jessica Parker, playing Vivienne Carella,
singer-musician-songwriter diagnosed with
terminal brain cancer and fated to die with or
without surgery in Netflix’s Here and Now,
redeemed herself to me.
More artifice than art in the roles she played,
a fatal flaw in Parkers career, as credible as she
could thespianly be, so fraught was the here
and now of her condemned life in Here and Now
that she won me over and made me cry, and
that`s the art of the movie actor.
