Reese Witherspoon failed to test it about the famous movie “Robert De Niro”

In the late eighties, Stephen Spielberg and Martin Scorsese made a wonderful exchange. After years of trading, Spielberg decided that it was time to adhere to the “SCINDLER menu”, which was previously shown on Scorses for guidance. For his part, Scorsese agreed to reshape “CAPE FEAR” instead (which Spielberg considered it very violent for himself), from what was a good way to pay a global support for his faith yet The controversy surrounding it “the last seduction of Christ.” There is no doubt that both films seemed completely different otherwise, and the alternative cinematic reality does not end there.

To update the 1962 movie J Ford was more interested in playing against the type like the villain, and He refused the movie when he could not get the role he wanted. Robert De Niro and the extreme heat went up to Cadi shoes instead to earn an Oscar filter in a very creative movie that he had a full satirical cycle of “The Simpsons”. The Oscar Awards Juliet Lewis also received the 15 -year -old Daniel Bodin, a part that may have fallen differently if Reese Witherspoon did not rid her.

With without a confession of Oscar on its own, I have achieved Oscar’s recognition of itself, She sings her way to the best actress for “Walk The Line” It receives an additional nomination for the “wilderness”. She spoke to Jimmy Kimmel in 2023 about her scary at the beginning of her career, and remembered reading the main teenager role in “Cape Fear”, saying:

“I did not know who Robert De Niro was, so I was standing outside I was talking to the receptionist and was like,” You know that he is the most important actor of our time? “I was like … I was 14 years old, and I never saw” goodfellas “and never saw the” godfather “, so it became my nerves completely.”

You did not get the party, and Mira Kelly, Martha Blamepton, Fayrouza Palac, and Derm Barrymore did not. The part was finally given Lewis (then 17 years old), who was actually the first young actor to test. Let’s take a look at the “Cape Fair” from Scorsese and assume whether he could work with Wittersbon while playing an unqualified teenager who draws the attention of Kadi.

Based on the novel “The Senderrs”, both versions of “Cape Fear” followed the same basic story. Max Kadi (Robert Michum/Robert de Nero) spent a time behind the bars of sexual assault Willm lawyer Sam Bodin (Gregory Peck/Nick Nolte) for his prison. Frankly, Kadi also used his time to prison in self -education, and the law learns to know how the right side remains from it and he begins to hunt and intimidate the Boden family when he was released. However, Kadi is not limited to revenge on Sam, because he is frankly planning to violate both his wife (Polly Bergen/Jessica Lang) and his daughter (Lori Martin/Juliet Lewis) first. This threat attracts Boden on a mysterious path because he feels that he is forced to pursue an increasingly illegal methods of Kadi’s warning.

The original J. Lee Thompson version that caused our worst fears, is the horror of sexual assault and the terrifying idea that we may not be able to protect our loved ones when a very bad man comes. It was released in the early 1960s at a time when sex and violence was generally more implicit, as the film led to its tension through the tight trend of Thompson, the performance of Mitchum, which calms down indifferently, and as a result of the evil Bernard Hermann. Although the word “rape” was deleted from the scenario, the film was still a problem for censorship due to “the constant threat of sexual assault on the child”, and Thompson was wanted to make major discounts to avoid the frightening X X in Britain.

Martin Scorase reshapes the southern Gothic atmosphere that smells of sweat and turned it into a full range of psychological cavity. Interestingly, the Wesley Strick scenario has modified the characters to make BowDens the most dysfunction this time. Usually, Beck’s lawyer is replacing, the Nolt version is the lawyer of Haytal, withholding the evidence to send Kadi to the bottom – perhaps it is understandable, but a decision puts a question mark next to his morals, especially since his marriage is also running out by affairs with other women. When upgrading the Girl-Next-Dooor type from Martin’s Bland-Next, Daniel Louis is a turbulent teenager who has been seized in school for drug use and feels a misunderstanding by her parents. Thus, under these circumstances, there are already cracks in the unity of the Boden family that Kadi is seeking to exploit, not the least when it comes to targeting Daniel.

Three decades after the original, Martin Scorsese’s “Cape Fear” did not need to accommodate and the director could appear Max Kadi in brutal work, the most prominent of which is in the shocking scene when he attacks the colleague of Sam Bodin (Elena Douglas) and cherries her cheek. But even this is not the most worrying moment in the movie. This honor is on the prolonged sequence, where Kadi, who pretends as a new dramatic teacher in Daniel, is raised to a dimmed hall in the school and begins to seduce it. Once he made his way to her confidence, he makes her absorb his thumb before kissing her.

The scene worries many levels. It explains how a cunning predator like Cady can play on the insecurity of the child, and we fear for the safety of Daniel after seeing his pressure in the previous attack. The screaming age between Robert De Niro and Juliet Lewis makes sexual tones very uncomfortable, at the very least. He called for a young actor he could carry against the Oscars, and Lewis once recalled her first meeting with De Niro (across Los Angeles Times):

“It was for me because I knew that it was not a normal position for (De niro), where I conducted an interview with young girls (…) I could say that it was a little uncomfortable. I mean, that all other girls came with their mothers. So, I said something I had not done. The week I did.”

To the credit in Louis, she sells her reactions to the thumb incident (which was kept by Scorsese and Di Nero as a surprise to photography) the moment of iCKY. It works well because Lewis has always been attracted towards darker materials, and its performance when she was younger (see also: “What eats Gilbert Grape?” And “Natural Born Killers”) had an edge in the direction of the streets that indicate that she grew up knowing everything about the dirty side of life. On the contrary, the early and legitimate Rais Witherspoon profession was filmed by Judy Tours, the bright and legitimate character, which gave the impression that she was a person whose childhood passed without sponsorship in the world. Throwing this type of innocence may be in danger at the hands of Max Kadi is a very far -step for the film, so it may have been good not passed the test.
