A master of what craft? Fast entertainment?
Tom Hanks is a master of perfectly playing an unbelievably dull character -- with just enough subtle quirk that a half-awake audience can project their half-baked sensibilities onto.
No different than the New Yorker, that wafts on for ages -- that only someone looking too hard can find merit in.
- SoftTalker 3y agoNever cared that much for Hanks as an actor. I recognize that he's had tons of critical acclaim but he just doesn't do much for me. Of the ones I've seen, the only Hanks movie I really like is The Money Pit.
- breck 3y ago> A master of what craft? Fast entertainment? Yes. Is that not worthy of respect? I'm not saying he's a John McCarthy or Linus Torvalds. Many people can be masters, not all masters have to pivot the world.
