The 'View.
I don't know if I was destine to play this role, but I feel very fortunate to be doing so.
The Crow in the film, the bird in the film, you could really just look at as a guide, almost a piece of his own personality, that guides him back into his life and reminds him who he was, what happened to him.
This is a person who has been pushed to the limits, of his ablity to cope with what is going on, and in a sence is quite mad sometimes, in a scence is completely insane, almost in the scene that an insane person having voices, you know, more rational vioces, that try to guide him, more irrational voices that come from a more emotional, more deepseeded place. I think that the crow is that rational voice, the crow is his guide.
The crow, helps Eric, do what he has to do, in a very practical scence, it leads him, to, places he has to be. It helps him find the people he has to find.
It's a strong story about, justice for victims. His mission is to find the men who killed him and his fiancee and kill them.
It's a wonderful role, and, it really is a role you have to take risks with, and it gives you wonderful oppurtunity to take those risks and stretch, because, you tell me how someone from the dead is going to behave.
And that's one of the wonderful things about playing this character is, it's a real, you can really take the gloves off in playing this part because, there are no rules about how a person who has come back from the dead is going to behave.
And then there is the part of him that is filled with rage, towards what was done to him. And one of these things I like best about this movie is the fact that, all of those parts of the character are given, balance, on the screen.
He is torn up, he is torn up really badly, emotionally, physically, and psychically
I think that, the appeal of Eric's mission, is that it is a very pure one. He has come back, to seek justice.
I've done other films that have had voilence in them, but I must say I've never done anything, were, I felt that the voilence was as justified as it is in this. There is very little need to worry about compassion.
This is justice, you know, and I truely feel that it is. And I truely feel that if I was in the same situation I would do the same thing.
He has something he has to do, and he is forced to, put aside his own pain, long enough, to go do what he has to do.
This film deals with the concept of a balance being struck between good and evil.
Because we do not know when we wil die, we get to think of life as an inexhuastable well, and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really, how many more times will you remember a certain afternoon in your childhood? An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps 4,5 times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps, 20, and yet it all seems limitless.
This is the point of view that this character is coming from in the whole film. because it has been sharply into focus for him, how precious each moment of his life is.
This is the best role that I have, had the oppurtunity to get my hands on in a film.
Rest In Piece Brandon.
