When Lowell talking with the control center and the commander tell him he going to die and implies to him that he should think about ending his life to avoid suffering. Bruce Dern great in that scene.
He was wonderful in the scene talking about his companions and how he was sorry for what he did to them.
shareI am glad someone else agree with me about his performance in that scene.
shareSome people here felt his performance was worthy of at least an Oscar nomination.
shareI don't remember who the nominees were, but he certainly gave an impressive performance.
I just read your wonderful review about the movie and I am not so sure that he really feel sorry. This is maybe why I didn't mention it in my original post. from your quote: “Wolf and Barker and Keenan...they weren't exactly my friends, but I did like them. And, er...well...I don't...I don't think that I'll ever be able to...excuse what it is that I did, but I had to do it. And…”
It's not really apology.
Yes, the ambiguity of the main character's troubling actions made this movie difficult.
