And I think, I think Denzel does that to a very high degree in this film.
And I think that’s what he’s being recognized for.
And he does something which, to me, is the hallmark of all great performances, which is very quickly you forget that you’re watching a movie star and you just feel like you’re watching a character.
I believe, and I believe he believes as well, It’s the most transformative performance of his career in the sense that he is playing something at this point in his career that he’s never played before remotely a character like this.
