The art of an actor is to take all of the intent(s) of the writer, director, fellow actors - incorporate that vision into a character founded on something internal and truthful and build that into a character and use that character to build a performance. Once the actor knows the level he or she needs to come in on, the camera, the mark, the dialogue, the timing the rest is improvisation. I’ve witnessed this up close and personal with the best actors applying their craft. Ralph and Juliette are very fine examples of this and there are others, as well.
I could not agree with you more. The job of the actors and directors on set is to write the thoughts and feelings of the character. In The Return, Ralph and Juliette are in fine form.
