I challenge you to watch The Graduate followed by Rainman. One dimmensional defined.
Dustin's suffered his entire life from an unprepossessing countenance that lends itself so easily to gloom and monotony as to one day serve nicely as a neglected table lamp in a darkened gallery.
Never been impressed by Hoffman. Worst actor in America. Not once have I believed him when he was on screen. Nothing entertaining or attractive about the man at all.
Come on. Hoffman made loads of movies and IS a great actor. Give credit where credit is due.....distilling his works down to 2 flicks while forgetting Little Big Man, Midnight Cowboy, etc., just isn't fair to the judged or the judges.
