Norton always plays very well in this kind of psychologically abnormal person. As a Norton fan, give this film full marks.
The hero of this film suffers from Tourette Syndrom, also known as Tourette Syndrom. It is a hereditary neurological disease, tic syndrome (Tics). Norton consulted extensively with the Tourette Society of America, and obtained the consent of the Society to interpret this role.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the actor of the female protagonist Laura, played Hannah in Apple's 2019 new drama "Morning News", which was very impressive. Norton is also a fan of her movies and appreciates her acting skills very much.
Featured lines:
Emerson said that "an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man.
Satisfaction won't unburden a tortured heart.
Fuckin' mess is right. The nun said my soul wasn't at peace with God and I should do penance. Frank said anyone teaching God's love while they hit you with a stick should be ignored on every subject.
But there's no upside in lyin' to a woman who's smarter than you, so, I told her the truth.
Frank told me once, if you're up against someone bigger than you, someone you can't beat toe to toe, make'em think you respect their size, and then cut a deal that lets you walk out in one piece. Then figure out a way to stick it to'em later without leaving your prints on the knife.
The film also quoted the lines of Shakespeare Measure for Measure:
O, it is excellent to have a giant's strenght, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
