Hey!!
What Robert De Niro film did you see that made you a fan of his?
Howdy!! 💕
Ooooo good question!!
Honestly, my initial response would've been "hmm. Taxi Driver!" Bc like. That was what ignited my interest in him initially.
But... then I had a second thought (a rare event occurring🤓).
Y'know, I've seen like 3 or 4 of his movies before (like probably everyone did at some point of their lives), and Taxi Driver was the first movie made me appreciate him as more than just "oh, this famous actor everyone knows", but the movie that really, really, really made me fall in love with him was Bang the Drum Slowly.
I admit I haven't watched it in a while - I should some time soon - but this movie literally made me just fall in love with Robert as an actor and a person. I mean. His wholesome portrayal of goofy &silly baseball player who gets the news he's about to die, has to hide it and has to deal with the bullying of the assholes in his team... tore my heart into 25 bajillion pieces. He did such a wonderful job, this movie was so beautiful and inspiring. It just got to me, really.
This movie is one of those who will forever have a corner in my heart saved for it 💕
There are so many gifs I could barely pick one 😭 (tumblr whacks my posts if they contain more than one pic or gif so unfortunately I had to pick just one) but this is gotta be my favourite moment in the entire movie - look @ this sweet lil goofball. His. SHIRT. 😭😭😭 And like. You can see how Henry (his roommate and his only friend in the team) actually cares about him... god don't get me started on that bc I will go on and on about it for DAYS!
Thank you for asking, and sorry the answer's too long - I can't speak about my beloved SpIn (or blorbo, if you'd like) without spiraling into an entire goddamn lecture. Lots of love 😘💕
:D
bang the drum slowly (1973) again because i deeply treasure this ace pitcher and mediocre catcher dynamic so much
“ Oh, bang the drum slowly
And play the fife lowly
Sing me a song as you carry me along ”
happy birthday to the loveliest film ever,,,,
