Listening to Ben, I can tell he is a great person. There is not a bone of jealousy in him. He wears his heart in his sleeve. He expresses his admiration and appreciation of other actors as if he is not a super star himself. He is always showing appreciation for Matt's friendship. He makes his actors comfortable and he boosts their confidence with his kind, appreciative words. I am witnessing the real Ben and not the Media Ben that they want us to see. Ben is a good person. I love him.

Have you all noticed by now that Ben makes movies for the sheer love of telling great stories - stories that need to be told? Making money doesn't seem to be the crux of it. But because the stories are so good, material well written, shot superbly, casted like a charm, with a crew I'm sure is inspired and your best friend of 40 odd years as your number one collaborator - it makes the money. The rare lightning in a bottle (on set) happens and we're all smitten!!! I wanna see it now! I wanna see it right, right now!!!

In the filmmaking industry, there are 3 categories of movies that exist : The ones that are made for making money, the ones where the director and his team are on a mission, and the ones where you can tell everybody has fun on set. And occasionally, comes a movie like Air, that is all 3 combined. I just watched it, and boy is this movie is gonna make BANK ! (Oh, and pumping some more millions of sales this year for Air Jordans !)

@reynaldocastaneda4712 Жыл бұрын

I just said it somewhere, the last time Matt and Ben act with a giant by the name of Robin Williams, they got Oscar’s recognition. I hope I am not jinx-ing it but there is a big chance they will repeat it again with a titan by the name of Viola Davis. Great actress!

This movie well surpassed my expectations and I hope it wins a lot of awards and it’s deserved recognition, well done!
