Bill Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 No one else could've played this role better. She was the perfect fit. And I always felt her acting was flawless... on the dock, with Tracy, as she pleads for him to confess his love for her. Her death scene. All of it.
VogueMusic Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Oh god, don't even start with me. Madonna as Breathless = Perfection. Love everything about this character/the look/the music/the era/the persona....everything. And one of her best acting performances. Quintessential Madonna for me.
Bill Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Her pre-Evita singing voice was perfectly capable of handling the range and control that Stephen Sondheim's songs commanded, too. Perfection!!!!
Guest whatatramp Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 She was the perfect choice for Breathless, haven't watched Dick Tracy in a while but I absolutely love it!
Guest bluejean Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 The movie is kind of shit but the character and Madonna's role in it is perfect. The music is beyond amazing and for that reason alone I'm glad she did it. I wish we has the full performances of the songs.
elijah Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 it is skindeep, but I think she probably looked her best here or at least the best compared to all her movies
Matt Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I don't really like the movie but M is great in it. Thst was such a magical time back then. So much was happening. I still love the I'm Breathless album to death. One of my favorites. I wish she had released more singles from it.
Bill Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 And, of course, without that, we wouldn't have had this. One of the best moments of her entire career.
mtzlplk Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 up to this day, i haven't watched dick tracy in its entirety... i really didn't like gangster movies when i was a teen
Guest Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I wish beatty would have film one song in the movie with Madonna performing it. It's one of those movies that didnt hurt or help her career.
dollhouse Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I'm sure it helped her to secure ALOTO role.. some say she can't act, yet she's the best in this movie full of acclaimed actors..
Guest Pud Whacker Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 commoners feel they have to dislike something about her to seem unbiased and her acting career is it. shes had more HIT movies than mere actresses where its their only profession. i have no time for this conversation. shes marvelous. end of report.
Guest PRPapi Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Her pre-Evita singing voice was perfectly capable of handling the range and control that Stephen Sondheim's songs commanded, too. Perfection!!!! THIS!
Guest PRPapi Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 And, of course, without that, we wouldn't have had this. One of the best moments of her entire career. PREACH IT!
scamper Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I love Breathless too... I think that Madonna always looks her best when she has some "connection" with the Glamour of the old Hollywood... When she's inspired by Marilyn, Marlene, Garbo... She looks just perfect and the good thing is that she has something extra to add to those characters and she doesn't look like a cheap copy... I don't know how to explain it but for me Madonna is a Hollywood star from the 50's in the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's...
ryan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 commoners feel they have to dislike something about her to seem unbiased and her acting career is it. shes had more HIT movies than mere actresses where its their only profession. i have no time for this conversation. shes marvelous. end of report.Well let's talk about the movie and madonna in it. Let's talk about I'm Breathless too. Did you buy all the collectible a they put out for kids?
promise to try Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 madonna at her most beautiful, at least in a film
Jazzy Jan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Quentin Tarantino always said that Madonna out acted everyone in Dick Tracey. She was so beautiful in that movie.
Messiahxxx Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 It's not her most entertaining movie but she looks amazing and I'm Breathless is a stunning album!
Guest Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 but why people say she cannot act then? Listen I love her to death. But she really cant act. Her best acting I think was in dangerous game. She really was quite good in that and I think ti is the best acting she's done. However the movie was dreary and depressing. It just wasnt a good movie. She was also great in DSS. people say she was just playing herself which I dont agree with. It's her most solid performance. I believe her as Susan. I dont think of her as Madonna playing a part. that, to me, is the difference in whether or not she can act. She is a decent actress but I'm not going to pretend I'm sad she's given it up. She was good in Up for Grabs.
Guest whatatramp Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 but why people say she cannot act then? they probably get their "opinions" from the media commoners feel they have to dislike something about her to seem unbiased and her acting career is it. shes had more HIT movies than mere actresses where its their only profession. i have no time for this conversation. shes marvelous. end of report. agreed
Guest Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) OH! I do remember that scene in Evita where she is on her death bed, singing and crying. THAT was some good acting she's done, i remember really being impressed with her performance in this particular scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPyr4bfswU0 Edited August 20, 2014 by TriggerMGee
Guest Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 It's a great album, era, character, and her BEST hair style.
erotica blu Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Saw Dick Tracy twice during its theatrical run. I was so upset when Madonna dies I love my Madonna.
Lights Above Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Saw Dick Tracy twice during its theatrical run. I was so upset when Madonna dies I love my Madonna. She had a bullet proof vest.
