sandik Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 As for Suzanne Farrell, let's face it, nobody could play her, not the person and certainly not the dancer! She should be portrayed by a stream of light that morphs unpredictably, sometimes appearing in the form of a radiant votive candle, sometimes like a fiery thunderbolt out of the blue. Oh dear -- when Richard Attenborough was preparing to make "Gandhi" there were still many people around who had known him, and had very specific opinions about what should and shouldn't go into a film about him. One woman apparently felt that his spiritual power was much more important than his corporeal presence, and told Attenborough that Gandhi could only be portrayed as a beam of light. The director replied (paraphrase) that he wasn't making a movie about a bloody Tinkerbell. Link to comment
